(Chuck Girard)
Cm Cm/Bb Abmaj7 Cm/G
When my life was empty, I tried so hard to be filled
Cm Cm/Bb Abmaj7 Cm/G
Smiling eyes were fading and the laughter had been stilled
Ab7(add b5)
Reaching out so desperately to fill the inner need
Cm Cm/Bb Abmaj7 Cm/G
That we all are trying to satisfy, but none of us succeed
Cm Cm/Bb Abmaj7 Cm/G
Trying every substitute for love that I could find
Cm Cm/Bb Abmaj7 Cm/G
Temporary pleasures that would keep me for a time
Ab7(add b5)
But when each thrill was over, my sorrow would increase
Cm Cm/Bb Am7(b5) Amaj7 (Fm G7)
For nothing that I tried had ever brought me lasting peace
Cmaj7 Dm/C Cmaj7 Dm/C
And then, You came to me, when I was ready to listen
Cmaj7 Dm/C Cmaj7 Dm/C
Dissolved the mystery, when I was ready to listen
Dm7 G7
And I knew your name
Dm7 G7
And I knew your face
Dm7 Ddim G7 c
And I knew I belonged to...you
Dm7 F/G G7 C (C/B C/A C/G)
Je....e...e....sus
Dm7 F/G G7 C (C/B C/A C/G)
Je....e...e....sus
Dm7 F/G G7 C (C/B C/A C/G)
Je....e...e....sus
Dm7 F/G G7 C
Je....e...e....sus
