(Intro.)
|(Em) / (C) / |(G) / / / |
 
(Verse 1)
(Em) Before you I was (C)doing my best, (G) Before you I was still a mess
(Em)Wandering 'round this town, (C) didn't have a clue, (G) before you
I don't (Em)have to (C)say, I'm not (G)perfect, babe
You already know, (Em) and you (C)love me just the (G)samestyle='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
 
(Chorus)
Before (Em)you, my (C)heart was running on (G)empty
Before (Em)you, I was (C)drowning in an ocean of (G)lonely
Now I look to something (Em)higher, walk straight through the (C)fire
No, there ain't (G)nothin' I won't do to (Em)be the man I (C)wanna be for you (G)
 
(Verse 2)
(Em) Letting go of the (C)things in my past, (G) all the heartbreaks holding me back
Was (Em)trying to find my (C)own way to something new, (G) then in walked (Em)you
I can't (G/F#)count the (Em)times that you've (C)helped me (G)through
I thank (Em)God for you, (C) you made me (G)living proof
 
(Chorus)
'Cause before (Em)you, my (C)heart was running on (G)empty
Before (Em)you, I was (C)drowning in an ocean of (G)lonely
Now I look to something (Em)higher, walk straight through the (C)fire
No, there ain't (G)nothin' I won't do to (Em)be the man I (C)wanna be for (G)you

(Bridge)
Before (Em)you, my (C)heart was running on (G)empty
Before (Em)you, I was (C)drowning in an ocean of (G)lonely
Now I (C)look to something (Em)higher, walk straight through the (C)fire
No, there ain't (G)nothin' I won't do to (Em)be the man I (C)wanna be for (G)you
