[Verse 1]
G        B7                    Em              G7 
I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night
C               Am  D7              G       B7    Em  G7
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out the light
C               Am  D7              G       B7    EmG7
I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long
C                 Am              C      D G    
I never heard the melody, until I needed a song.

[Verse 2]
G        B7                    Em              G7        
I never saw the white line, 'til I was leaving you behind
C               Am  D7              G       B7    Em    G7
I never knew I needed you 'til I was caught up in a bind
C               Am          D7    G          B7 Em   G7
I never spoke 'I love you' 'til I cursed you in vain,
C                 Am              C      D G            
I never felt my heartstrings until I nearly went insane.

[Verse 3]
G        B7                    Em              G7 
I never saw the east coast 'til I move to the west
C               Am  D7              G       B7    Em    G7
I never saw the moonlight until it shone off your breast
C               Am  D7              G       B7    Em     G7               
I never saw your heart 'til someone tried to steal, tried to steal it away
C                 Am              C      D G            
I never saw your tears until they rolled down your face.
