Ab
[Verse 1]
Db Gb
I've heard it said
Db/F Gb
That people come into our lives for a reason
Db Ab
Bringing something we must learn
Db Gb
And we are led
Fm7
To those who help us most to grow
Bbm7
If we let them
Eb Ab
And we help them in return
Db Gb Gbm Bbm
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
A
But I know I'm who I am today
Gbm B
Because I knew you
[Chorus]
Db Gb
Like a comet pulled from orbit
Db
As it passes a sun
Db/F Db
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Gb Ab
Halfway through the wood
Db Ebm7 Fm Bbm
Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But
Gb Db/F Gb Db/F
Because I knew you
Ebm Gb Ab Db Gb Ab
I have been changed for good
[Verse 2]
Gb
It well may be
Db
That we will never meet again
Gb
In this lifetime
Db Ab
So let me say before we part
Gb
So much of me
Fm7
Is made of what I learned from you
Bbm7
You'll be with me
Eb/G Ab
Like a handprint on my heart
Db/F Gb Gbm Bbm
And now whatever way our stories end
A
I know you have re-written mine
Gbm B
By being my friend
[Chorus]
Db/F Gb
Like a ship blown from its mooring
Db
By a wind off the sea
Gb
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
B Ab
In a distant wood
Db Ebm7 Fm7 Bbm7
Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But
Gb Db/F
Because I knew you
Gb Db/F
Because I knew you
Ebm Gb Ab Gbm7
I have been changed for good
[Bridge]
B E
And just to clear the air
Gbm7 B E
I ask forgiveness for the things I've done you blame me for
Abm B Db Gb/Bb
But then, I guess we know there's blame to share
A Gbm B
And none of it seems to matter anymore
[Chorus]
Db Gb
Like a comet pulled from orbit (Like a ship blown from its mooring)
B Db
As it passes a sun (By a wind off the sea)
Db/F Gb
Like a stream that meets a boulder (Like a seed dropped by a bird)
B Ab
Halfway through the wood (In the wood)
Db Ebm7 Fm Bbm
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
Gb Db Ab Bbm
I do believe I have been changed for the better
Gb Db
And because I knew you
Gb Db
Because I knew you
[Outro]
Gb Db/F
Because I knew you
Ebm Gb Ab Db Gb
I have been changed
Db Gb Ab Db
For good
