VERSE I 
                  A                                 D 
Stopped me on the corner, I swear you hit me like a vision 
               A 
I-I-I wasn't expecting 
            E                                       A 
But who am I to tell fate where it’s supposed to go with it? 
                          D 
Don't you blink you might miss it 
                           A 
See we got a right to just love it or leave it, you find it and keep it 
       E 
'Cause it ain't every day you get the chance to say 


A                     D                           A 
Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart 
                     E 
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun 
A                     D                       F#m 
Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky 
                 E   
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun

VERSE II 
           A                                       D 
I've never seen it, but I found this love, I wanna feed it 
                              A                                   E 
You better believe, I'm gonna treat it better than anything I've ever had 

'Cause you're so damn beautiful 
A                                         D 
Read it, it's signed and delivered, let's seal it 
                         A 
Boy, we go together like peanuts and paydays, Marley and reggae 
    E 
And everybody needs to get a chance to say 


A                     D                           A 
Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart

     Everything is like a whiteout, 'cause we shicka-shicka-shine down 
                                  E 
Even when-the-when-the light's out, but I can see you glow 
F#m                             D                        Bm

                          (C)         D                
Never felt this way before, ain't felt this way before
