Standard Tuning:
VERSE 1:
E A E
Well I lost my heart on the day we met,
E B7 E
but I gained a lot that I don't regret.
E A E
Then I hung around till you said I do,
E B7 E
I knew I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you
VERSE 2:
E A E
Well it changed my thinking when you changed your name
E B7 E
and neither one of us will ever be the same.
E A E
And I swear I'm never gonna be untrue
E B7 E
'cause I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you.
CHORUS:
A E
If I didn't have you I'd long ago
B7 E
been left in the dark out in the cold.
A E
Blowing around from town to town
B7
like a feather in the wind.
A E
If I didn't have you I know I'd be
B7 E
floundering around like a ship at sea,
A E
lost in the rain of a hurricane,
B7
that's where I'd have been!
VERSE 3:
E A E
But I didn't get lost 'cause I saw your light
E B7 E
shining like a beacon on a cold dark night.
E A B7
And the sun came up and the skies turned blue.
E B7 E
No I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you
VERSE 4:
E A E
Well I count my blessings every night I pray
E B7 E
that the Lord lets me keep you just one more day.
E A E
And every day He does 'cause God knows too
E B7 E
that I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you.
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT VERSE 3
