  			{Intro Verse} 

F                A             Dm            Bb     
I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night 
Bb               C                F              Dm 
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out the light 
Bb              C                F              Dm 
I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long 
Bb                 C              Bb       F   
I never heard the melody, until I needed a song.

{verse 2} 

F                A                    Dm             Bb 
I never saw the white line, 'til I was leaving you behind 
Bb              C                    F              Dm 
I never knew I needed you 'til I was caught up in a bind 
Bb               C                F              Dm 
I never spoke 'I love you' 'til I cursed you in vain, 
Bb               C                    Bb            F   
I never felt my heartstrings, until I nearly went insane.

{verse 3} 

F                A                Dm          Bb 
I never saw the east coast 'til I move to the west 
Bb               C                 F                 Dm 
I never saw the moonlight until it shone off of your breast 
Bb               C                  F                                   Dm 
I never saw your heart 'til someone..tried to steal, tried to steal it away 
Bb                C                Bb               F   
I never saw your tears, until they rolled down your face.

Bb               C                F               Dm 
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out your love light, baby 
Bb              C                F              Dm 
I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long 
Bb                 C              Bb       F   
I never heard the melody, until I needed a song.
