There You Were

      Em                           C2
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                     G2/B    Em
Then you reached through the hurri - cane
         Am7       Cm6/Eb
When you baby you  called my name.

        G                              Em
You broke through the storm, And you turned back the night.
                 C                 Cm6/Eb
Baby you are the fire, Burnin' the midnight sky
And your love, Keeps taking me higher.
         Am7          G/B              C2     C/D
Just when all hope was gone, Where the hero belongs...
There you were.

          Em                          C2
Must have broken into heaven, Just to roll back the clouds.
         G                      D/F#
Were you on a mission? Were you seekin me out?
           Em                            C2
Was I that one in a million? Was I that one sacred kiss?
     G                        D/F#
That you couldn't chance, You just couldn't miss?
         Am7                             G2/B   Em
Then you babe, you whispered through the silent tears,
     Am7           Cm6/Eb
When you swept away all my fears.

        G                              Em
You broke through the storm, And you turned back the night.
                 C                Cm6/Eb
Baby you are the fire, Burnin' the midnight sky
And your love, Keeps taking me higher.
          Am7          G/B             C2     C/D
Just when all hope was gone, Where the hero belongs...
          C2
There you were.

C2      D/F#         G         C
Standin' in    the   middle of nowhere,
          D/F#      G        Em
With your arms wide open and you,
             Asus7       A7           Dsus4        D
You were the reason when there was no reason in my life,
           D#sus4       D#  (chorus in G#)
You're the reason in my life


C2              D/F#         G              C
    Standin' in    the   middle of nowhere,
                D/F#         G              Em
With your arms wide open and you,
                    Asus7             A7                  Dsus4              D
