Dm F  
 
Dm             F      Dm 
Now the first day that I met you 
F       Dm        F  
I was looking in the sky 
Dm                  F      
When the sun turned all a blur 
F     Dm                  F  
And the thunderclouds rolled by 
 
       Gm                             (Barre chord/*Slide up) 
The sea began to shiver 
                    Bb  
And the wind began to moan 
G             Dm  
It must've been a sign for me 
            F   
To leave you well alone 
D     F  
I was born without you, baby 
F#    G                        Dm  
But my feelings were a little bit too strong 
 
Dm F Dm F Dm 
 
F           Dm       F  
You never said you love me 
Dm        F    Dm     F  
And I don't believe you can 
Dm              F  
'Cause I saw you in a dream 
Dm             F  
And you were with another man 
Gm                     Eb  
You looked so cool and casual 
Gm  
And I tried to look the same 
Bb       Gm           Dm  
But now, I've got to love you 
F        Dm         F  
Tell me who am I to blame? 
 
D    F   
I was born without you, baby 
F#     G                              D  
But my feelings were a little bit too strong

F         Dm           F  
Now the whole wide world is movin' 
Dm                 F  
'Cause there's iron in my heart 
Dm           F         
I just can't keep from cryin' 
Dm              F  
'Cause you say we've got to part 
 
Gm           Bb           G             Bb  
Sorrow grips my voice as I stand here all alone 
Dm                   F  
And watch you slowly take away 
F          Dm     F  
A love I've never known 
 
F                   
I was born without you, baby 
G                             D  
But my feelings were a little bit too strong 
                              (Fm) 
Just a little bit too strong
