G5 G(b5)  Gsus4  G(b5)  G5 G(b5)  Gsus4  G(b5)
 
[Verse 1]
  G
You knew just everything
      A
But nothing at all
         C
Now the luminous dark
            G
Feels like pain again
G
You could feel my breath
      A
You opened my eyes
      C
For I could not see
       G
When I met you
 
[Chorus]
        A
When I met you (Your feelings again)
    C
I could not speak (You're drowning in pain)
    D
You opened my mouth (You're walking in mist)
    A
You opened my heart (You're living again)
    A
My spirit rose (She tore you down)
    C
The marks and stains (It was all the same)
       D
Could not exist (You were afraid)
       A
When I met you
         A
Now it's all the same (Now it's all the same)
     C
It's all the same (It's all the same)
      D
The sun is gone (The sun is gone)
      A
It's all the same (It's all the same)
      A
But when I met you (But when I met you)
     C
When I met you (When I met you)
     D
When I met you (When I met you)
     A
When I met you (When I met you)
 
      G
When I met you
      G(b5)
You were afraid (When I met you)
      Gsus4
She stole your heart (When I met you)
      G(b5)
You don't understand (When I met you)
      G
You should be ashamed (When I met you)
      G(b5)
You should have known (I was the walking dead)
      Gsus4
She tore you down (I was kicked in the head)
      G(b5)
She tore you down
 
[Verse 2]
 G
The edge had become
      A
The centre of my world
      C
The seams of my life
      G
The streams of debris
   G
Neither wounds of a friend
       A
Nor the kiss of a foe
      C
The peck of a blackened eye
     G
An eye for the crowd
 
[Chorus]
   A
When I met you
   C
I could not speak
   D
I met you
   A
Then I met you
   A
My spirit rose (Your feelings again)
    C
My kind of truth (You're drowning in pain)
    D
Could not exist (You are afraid)
    A
When I met you
    A
Now it's all the same (Now it's all the same)
    C
It's all the same (It's all the same)
    D
The sun is gone (The sun is gone)
    A
It's all the same (It's all the same)
    A
But when I met you (But when I met you)
    C
When I met you (When I met you)
    D
When I met you (When I met you)
    A
When I met you (When I met you)
 
     G
When I met you (You were afraid)
     G(b5)
When I met you (She stole your heart)
      Gsus4
I was the walking dead (She tore you down)
      G(b5)
I was kicked in the head (She tore you down)
      G
It was such a time (When I met you)
      G(b5)
It was such a time (When I met you)
      Gsus4
I was crushed inside (When I met you)
      G(b5)
I was torn inside
    A
When I met you (When I met you)
    C
When I met you (When I met you)
   D
I was too insane (I was too insane)
    A
Could not trust a thing (Could not trust a thing)
     A
I was off my head (I was off my head)
    C
I was filled with truth (I was filled with truth)
     D
It was not God's truth (It was not God's truth)
    A
Before I met you (Before I met you)
