Fm
Blue is all I've ever really known
D#
Playing records that I couldn't own
Fm
Walking fast into the ticket line
D#
Walking slow to save a lonely night

       Fm
I'm sweeping up at 9 a.m
Unable to pay my rent
  D#
Across the bar, beneath the mess of alcohol and cigarettes
        Fm
There's ten more hours of life I missed
                                                D#
But I don't even need them back because I found you

Chorus:
   A#
I found you
                         D#
I can't believe I get to know you
                               Fm
Woah, I can't believe I get to show you
      Cm A#               G#
I had no one 'til I found you
             A#
'Til I found you

Early mornin' in the market place
Freezing rain falling in my face
Heavy sky on the same old town
Heavy head, I'm slowly breaking down

I'm sweeping up at 9 a.m
Unable to pay my rent
And across the bar, beneath the mess of alcohol and cigarettes
There's ten more hours of life I missed
But I don't even need them back because I found you

Chorus:
I found you
I found you
I can't believe I get to know you
Woah, I can't believe I get to show you
See, I had no one 'til I found you
'Til I found you
'Til I found you
'Til I really found you

        Cm
When I found you
        A#
When I found you
              G#
There wasn't nothing left that wasn't love
         A#
Sinking deeper, sinking like a stone
        Cm
When I found you
        A#
When I found you
         G#
I needed you more than I'll ever know
          A#
Slippin' deeper, deeper

Chorus:
I can't believe I get to know you
No, I can't believe I get to show you
I had no one 'til I found you
'Til I found you
'Til I really found you

I can't believe I get to know you
No, I can't believe I get to show, show you
I had no one
I had no one 'til I found you
'Til I found you
'Til I really found you
