Intro: Cm-Cm/B-Cm/Bb-Cm/A
          Ab-Cm-Bb-Dm

  Eb               Cm   Bb            Eb
   I guess you've heard, I guess you know
                           Cm
   In time I might have told you
          Bb(/D)        Eb
   But I guess I'm too slow
                     Cm
   That I'm overly romantic
          Bb              Eb
   But I know that's not real
               Cm
   I hope you don't mind
        Bb(/D)     Eb
   If I say what I feel
         G#m                         Bb
   It's like I'm in somebody else's dream
  G#m                             Bb
   This could not be happening to me

                 Chorus
  Eb             Fm
   But you were there
  Ab               Bb           Eb
   And you were everything I'd never seen
  Cm           Bb            Fm
   You woke me up from this long
              Gm            Ab
   And empty sleep, I was alone
       Bb                          Eb-Cm-Bb
   I opened my eyes and you were there

  Eb           Cm   Bb               Eb
   Don't be alarmed, no, don't be concerned
                       Cm
   I don't want to change things
            Bb(/D)         Eb
   Leave them just as they were
                             Cm
   I mean, nothing's really different
       Bb            Eb
   It's me who feels strange
                    Cm
   I'm always lost for words
          Bb(/D)             Eb
   When someone mentions your name
     G#m                            Bb
   I know that I'll get over this for sure
      G#m                                    Bb
   I'm not the type who dreams there could be more

                Bb
          ... there

          C                        Am-Bb
   Can I take your smile home with me
            C            Bb-Cm-F-Dm-C
   Or the magic in your hair

  F               Dm    C                F
   The rain has stopped, the storm has passed
                    Dm
   Look at all the colors
            C              F
   Now the sun's here at last
                            Dm
   I suppose that you'll be leaving
          C            F
   But I want you to know
                        Dm         C        F
   Part of you stays with me even after you go
            Bb                           C
   Like an actor playing someone else's scene
    Bb                             C
   This could not be happening to me

   (Repeat Chorus moving chords 1 step <F> higher,
    except last line)

      C
   I opened my eyes and
  Gm            Am             Bb
   No no no no no no, I'm not alone
      C                      F         Dm
   I opened my eyes and you were there
  C            F-C-F
   You were there
