C#                         B
Woke up sweating from a dream
                          F#
With a different kind of feeling
C#                         B
All day long my heart was beating
                   F#
Searching for the meaning

C#m
Hazel eyes,
          B
I was so color blind
             F#
We were just wasting time
    C#m
For my whole life
           B
We never crossed the line
             F#
Only friends in my mind
But now I realize,

Chorus:
              C#m
It was always you
                 B                         F#
Can't believe I could not see it all this time,
all this time
              C#m
It was always you
                B                    F#
Now I know why my heart wasn't satisfied,
satisfied
              C#m B  F#
It was always you, you
                 C#m
No more guessing who
                 B                    F#
Looking back now I know it was always you,
always you

All my hidden desires
Finally came alive, oh
No, I never told a lie
To you, so why would I start tonight?

Hazel eyes,
I was so colorblind
We were just wasting time, oh oh
For my whole life,
We never crossed the line
Only friends in my mind,
But now I realize

Chorus

C#                        B
Woke up sweating from a dream
                          F#
With a different kind of feeling

Chorus
