A G

I've heard it said

D G
That people come into our lives for a reason
D A
Bringing something we must learn
G
And we are led to those
D
who help us most to grow
C
If we let them
G A
And we help them in return
G D A D
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
Am C
But I know I'm who I am today
G A
Because I knew you...

G D
Like a comet pulled from orbit
C A
As it passes a sun
G D
Like a stream that meets a boulder
C A
Halfway through the wood
G D C Em
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
G D
But because I knew you
G A D
I have been changed for good

G
It well may be
D
That we will never meet again
G
In this lifetime
D A
So let me say before we part
G
So much of me is made
D
of what I learned from you
C
You'll be with me
D A
Like a handprint on my heart
G D A D
And now whatever way our stories end
Am C
I know you have re-written mine
G A
By being my friend...
G D
Like a ship blown from its mooring
C A
By a wind off the sea
G D
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
C A
In a distant wood
G D C Em
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
G D
Because I knew you

G D
Because I knew you

G A D
I have been changed for good

Em C
And just to clear the air
Em
I ask forgiveness
C
For the things I've done you blame me for

A
But then, I guess we know
C
There's blame to share

Am C
And none of it seems to matter anymore

G D
Like a comet pulled from orbit
C A
As it passes a sun
G D
Like a stream that meets a boulder
C A
Halfway through the wood

G D
Who can say if I've been
A D
Changed for the better?
G D
I do believe I have been
A G
Changed for the better

G D
And because I knew you...
G D
Because I knew you...
G D
Because I knew you...
G A D
I have been changed for good...
