Just when every ray of hope was gone  
                          C               G  
I should have known  that you would come along   
                   D            D7  
I can't believe  I ever doubted you

Another lonely night in a nameless town  
                       C                  G  
if Sleep dont take me first I know you'll come around  
             D               D7  
I know I can always count on you  
C      D7         G

G7                 C  
Lovers leave and  friends will  let you down  
                  G  
and your the only sure thing that I found  
                 D             D7  
No matter what I do I'll never lose
