[Am/E] [F] [Dm7] [Am/E]
[Am/E]but as you walked [F]into my life, [Dm7]you showed what [Am/E]needed to be shown

never [Am/E]cared, never [F]wanted, never [Dm7]sought to see what [Am/E]flaunted
so on [Am/E]purpose, so in [F]my face, couldn't [Dm7]see beyond my [Am/E]own place
it was so [Am/E]easy not to [F]behold what I [Dm7]could hold. But you[Am/E] taught me
I could [Am/E]change whatever [F]came within [Dm7]these shallow [Am/E]days

Bridge
[Am] As the sun shines [G]through it pushes [Fmaj7]away and pushes [G]ahead
it fills the[Am] warmth of [G]blue and leaves a[Fmaj7] chill [G]instead
and I [Am]didn't know that I could[G] be so blind to[Fmaj7] all that is [G]so real
but as [Am]illusion dies, I [G]see there is so [Fmaj7]much to be [G]revealed[A/E]
