I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time 
                      D 
That was before I met you 
  G                    C          G 
I never saw one that I wanted for mine 
           D          G   G7 
That was before I met you 



[Refrão]

  C                          G 
I thought I was swinging the world by the tail 
                           D 
I thought I could never be blue 
  G                             C                G 
I thought I’d been kissed and I thought I’d been loved 
           D          G 
That was before I met you

  G                    C         G 
I wanted to ramble and always be free 
                      D 
That was before I met you 
  G                        C         G 
I said that no woman could ever hold me 
           D          G   G7 
That was before I met you
