F Am Everybody needs an anchor C A little something that makes you stay Csus2 An incentive, Someone to fight for F Cause no one really needs so much space Am A couple years ago I was lonely C I used to think that there was no God Csus2 But then you looked at me with your blue eyes F And my agnosticism turned into dust C How well you know me G That I don’t care if the rest don’t Dm It doesn’t matter to me, no F C As long as you love me Dm F As long as we still have each other Chorus: C Dm F I knew we had something G From the moment I met you C Dm F I knew we had something G No one thought it could be true C Dm F Hey do you believe G Do you believe in destiny? C Dm F ‘Cause I do as I did then When you were only 23 God knows that I’m a good dancer My feet can move to the music he plays But there were times I asked for an answer When he was acting in mysterious ways There were nights that I stayed up crying Cause I was certain that things wouldn't change But then you came and I saw you smiling Just like an angel, so beautifully strange And then you touched me It's like you were made for me, oh-oh Like it was all meant to be, oh-oh And I was sure that you would love me And that we'd always have each other Chorus: I knew we had something From the moment I met you I knew we had something No one thought it could be true Hey do you believe Do you believe in destiny? Cause I do as I did then When you were only 23 Dm G Always thought that I was fine but I was wrong C G/B Am It was you, that one piece I was missing Dm G And I could do without you but it'd be no fun C G/B Am I found you and life was suddenly easy F There ain't no worries now G There ain't no feeling down Chorus: I knew we had something From the moment I met you I knew we had something No one thought it could be true Hey do you believe Do you believe in destiny? Cause I do as I did then When you were only 23 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  B  C  Csus2  Dm  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
