After [G] long enough of being [Am] alone
Everyone [Am] must [D7] face their share of [G] loneliness
In my own [A7] time nobody [D] knew
The [G] pain I was goin' [C] through
And [Am] waitin' was all [Dsus4] my heart [D] could do
Hope [G] was all I had until you [Am] came
Maybe [Am] you can't [D7] see how much [G] you mean to me
You were the [A7] dawn breaking the [D] night
The [G] promise of morning [C] light
Filling [A7] the world [Dsus4] surrounding [D] me
When I hold [D7] you
(F) Baby, baby, feels like maybe
things [Am] will be all right
(F) Baby, baby, your love's made me
Free [Dsus4] as a [D7] song, singin' forever
Chorus:
Only [G] yesterday when I was [Am] sad and I was [D7] lonely
You [G] showed me the way to leave the [Am] past
And all its [D7] tears behind me
Tomorrow [B] maybe even [Em] brighter than [Esus] [E] today
Since [Am] I threw my [D7] sadness [Am7] away
Only [D7] yester [G] day
I [G] have found my home here in your [Am] arms
Nowhere [D7] else on earth I'd really rather [G] be [Em]
Life waits for [A7] us, share it with [D] me
The [G] best is about to [C] be
And [A7] so much is left for [Dsus4] us to see
When I hold [D7] you
