        D                        Em 
Now it's hard to describe what my life used to be 
      A                               D Dsus4 D Dsus2 
To someone who's always been able to see. 
           D                 Em 
You know I wasn't unhappy or bitter that way, 
        A                                      D 
But everything's changed since I met Him that day. 

(Repeat chords) 

I was down at the corner just passing the time, 
Sitting in the sunlight and feeling it shine, 
When the sound of a crowd began to grow in my ear, 
So I waited and I listened as I heard them draw near. 

           G 
    Then a man stepped up to me and He spat on the ground. 
               A 
    He put the mud on my eyes and then He smeared it around. 
            G 
    Sent me off to Siloam to wash off the clay, 
          A                                  D  Dsus4 D Dsus2 
    And I opened my eyes and I looked at the day. 

     G             A           D         G              A          D 
    And I have no idea how He did it, I just know what happened to me. 
    G       A           D            A                    D  
    Yesterday I was in darkness, but since I met Him I can see. 

When the Pharisees heard it they put me on trial, 
Even called in my parents and grilled them awhile, 
And when, at the end, I defended the man, 
Who had opened my eyes, the troubles began. 

    I said "Ever since the beginning of time 
    No one's opened the eyes of someone born blind. 
    This man's sent from God, it just can't be denied " 
    And they cursed me and grabbed me and threw me outside. 

    I really don't know how He found me. I just know He was talking to me. 
    It was easy to tell by the sound of His voice He was the reason I see. 
    And as soon as He spoke to me I couldn't hide 
    The emotion that welled up from deep down inside 
    And combined in the dreams that He made to come true, 
    To kneel there and worship was all I could do 

        And I called Him my Lord and Messiah 
        For everything He'd done for me. 
        Yesterday I was in darkness, 
        But since I met Him I can see. 

        And I call Him my Lord and my savior 
        For everything He's done for me. 
        Yesterday I was in darkness, 
                    G               C G 
                But since I met Him, 
                A               D A    
                Since I met Him, 
                G           A                     end song on  D  Dsus4 D Dsus2 
                Since I met Him I can see.(repeat)
