Verse 1:
G                      Am
I got up this morning and fell out of bed
D                         G
Trying to make it to the door
                        Am
The wind was high, I didn't have much time
D                       G      D
Trying to find a man to score
Em                        Am
And then you came up on the other side
D                 G
To brighten up my day
        Am
I knew right away
D                      G    C   D
That this could be my day

Chorus:
G             Am
Someone like you
D                         G   C   D
Could make me change my ways
G             Am
Someone like you
D                         G   C   D
Could turn my nights into days

Verse 2:
G                 Am
There you were, standing
D               G
On a crowded street
                           Am
You looked so good, though the air was bad
D                   G    C    D
Walking through the fog

Chorus:
G             Am
Someone like you
D                         G   C   D
Could make me change my ways
G             Am
Someone like you
D                         G   C   D
Could turn my nights into days

I want to thank you, thank you now

For getting me back on my feet again

For getting me back on my feet again

Could turn my nights into days

Someone like you

Could make me change my ways
