[Verso 1]
Cadd9
Verse:
  G  D  Dsus4   C
* Cadd9
Who knew love would come walkin' through my door
C C D G
Turn the light on somewhere down inside
  G  D  Dsus4   C
* Cadd9
Give me a feeling I'd never had before
C
It was a long wait
C D G
it was just the wrong time
Bridge:
! Em C
But I hope you'll hold me now
Em C2
somewhere within
! Em C
And when you think about
C C D
what might have been
Chorus:
G Cadd9
Cry a river
G Cadd9
Flood the sea
G D C2 G
Cry a river over me
G Cadd9
Take the bitter
G Cadd9
With the sweet
G D C2 G
And cry a river over me
(Repeat intro)
Verse:
  G  D  Dsus4   C
* Cadd9
And how do you argue with a feeling in your bones
C C D G
'bout what is and what isn't meant to be
G D
Some things you live with
C
* Cadd9
And you never let it show
C
Like the pain I felt
C D G
The day I watched you leave
Bridge:
! Em C
But I hope you'll think of me
Em C2
When tender winds blow
! Em C
Sit on the shores of love
C C D
And just let it go
(Repeat Chorus)
