D      G 
I sang loud 
         D               G  
My voice cut through the crowd 
      Bm                 D7                      G*    C  A*  D 
As if I was anybody that might have something to say 
         G            D           G 
Standing tall I seemed to know it all 
        Bm                             D7                       G* 
But the only thing I know is that I've never known someone like you 
    C             A*         D   G 
I'm gonna figure out how it is 



          D  G 
I got you 
           D    G 
I got you babe 
         D  G 
I held you 
           D    G 
And I lost you

           G 
Time stood still 
    D        G 
And I had my fill 
   Bm 
Of all the things we did  
    D7                             G*    C  A*  D 
And all the things we could have done 
        G               D 
Looking back would you 
            G 
Cut me some slack 
    Bm                              D7                           G* 
For all the times I left you when I should have stayed right by your side 
          C          A*     D   G 
I'm gonna figure out how it is 



          D  G 
I got you 
           D    G 
I got you babe 
         D  G 
I held you 
           D    G 
And I lost you
