  			(E) 
Well I lost my heart on the day we met 
(E) 
But I can't do nothing that I don't regret 
(E) 
Then I hung around util you said I do 
(E)                                  (B7)       (E) 
I knew I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you 
 
 
E 
Well it changed my thinking when you changed your name 
E 
And neither one of us will ever be the same 
E 
Now I swear I'm never gonna be untrue 
E                                   B7          E 
Cause I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you 

       A                  E             B7              E 
If I didn't have you I'd long ago been left in the dark out in the cold 
A                     E                   B7    
Blowing around from town to town like a feather in the wind 
      A                  E 
If I didn't have you I know where I'd be 
B7                         E 
Floundering around like a ship at sea 
A                          E                               B7  
Lost in the rain of a hurricane and that's where I'd have been 
 
E 
But I didn't get lost cause I say your light 
E 
Shining like a beacon on a cold dark night 
E 
Then the sun came up and the skies turned blue 
E                                 B7          E 
No, I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you 
 
Lead, 
E 
Well, I count my blessing every night I pray 
E 
That the Lord lets me keep you just a-one more day 
E 
And every day he does cause God knows too 
E                                  B7          E 
That I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you 
 
Go to chorus, to ending 
 
ENDING: 
E 
But I didn't get lost cause I say your light 
E 
Shining like a beacon on a cold dark night 
E 
Then the sun came up and the skies turned blue 
E                                 B7          E 
No, I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you 
E       
Well, I've always said it but I swear it's true 
E                                     B7         E 
I know I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you
