Capo 1st Fret (to match recording)

Intro: (F) (G) (C) (F)

For so (C) long I was looking,
For a (F) reason to make living worth(C)while
I found that reason,
When I first saw you (G) smile
There was no (C) question you were the answer,
For a (F) partner with no dancer or (C) no song
You set my life to music,
(F) The (G) day you came (C) along (Dm) (C) 

  And (F) there for awhile,
  (G) All of my dreams came (C) true (Dm)
  (F) There for awhile,
  (D7) There was nothing (G) I couldn't do
  Yes, (F) there for awhile,
  The (G) future was finally cl(C)ear (E7)
  'Cause (F) there for awhile,
  (G) There for awhile, you were (C) here.

(E) (F) (G) (C) (F)

I (C) guess I never asked you,
Af(F)raid of what the answer might (C) be
Would you love me forever,
Never wanting to be (G) free?
I (C) had no way of knowing,
Just how (Am) soon you'd be (F) going a(C)way
Would it have made a difference,
(F) If only (G) I'd asked you to (C) stay. (Dm) (C)

  Now (F) I don't know,
  What (G) my life could hold for (C) me (Dm)
  'Cause (F) I know that I had it (D7) all,
  When you were (G) holding me
  Yes, (F) there for awhile,
  The (G) future was finally (C) clear (E7) 
  'Cause (F) there for awhile,
  (G) There for awhile, you were (Am) here. (D7)

  Yes (F) there for awhile,
  (G) There for awhile, you were (F) here. (C) (Dm) (C)
