Verse 1:
C D

Living life alone and never sharing anything.
C D
Thought that I was finished, thought that I was complete,

Destined to be nothing in this world and then I met you.
Chorus 1:
C D F C
I... met you, I... met you.
Verse 2:
C D
Thought that God had failed me, thought my prayers were useless,
F

C D
Thought the book was written, thought the game had ended,
F
Thought the song was sung and I could never sing another.
C D
Thought my faith was misplaced, thought my back was broken,
F
Broken by a weight that I was never fit to carry.
C D
Thought I knew this city, thought I knew all about it;
F
And then one night I went to Morningside and you were waiting.
Chorus 2:
C D F C
I... met you, I... met you.
