There You Were

      Em                           
I was counting down minutes. I was

wishin' on the stars
      G                       D/F#
I was prayin' for a sign, And tryin'
 to beat the odds.
      Em                 C2
I was dreamin' of you, before I saw 
your face.
G               D/F#
There you were, Waitin' for that 
day.

         Am7       Cm6/Eb
When you baby you  called my name.

        G                          
You broke through the storm, And 
    Em
you turned back the night.
                 C                 
Baby you are the fire, Burnin' the

midnight sky
And your love, Keeps taking me 
higher.
         Am7          G/B         
Just when all hope was gone, Where
     C2     C/D
 the hero belongs...
There you were.

          Em                       
Must have broken into heaven, Just

to roll back the clouds.
         G                      
Were you on a mission? Were you

seekin me out?
           Em                      
Was I that one in a million? Was I

that one sacred kiss?

That you couldn't chance, You just 
couldn't miss?
         Am7                       
Then you babe, you whispered 
      G2/B   Em
through the silent tears,
     Am7           Cm6/Eb
When you swept away all my fears.
