[Intro]
C G Am G F Em G
[Verse 1]
C G
I drew pictures of you

Long before I met you

Almost every night
F Em G
Precious things are hard to find
[Verse 2]

It was just an evening

Much like any else

When you came into my life

It takes one to know one

And I saw you there

As I had seen you all my life
[Chorus]
C G Am
I thank a God I've never met
G F Em G
Never loved, never wanted (For you)

I write it so I don't forget

Never let it get away

I wear a picture of you
G
Just to keep you safe
[Post-Chorus]

[Verse 3]
C G
Now that I have you
Am G
I will not forget
F Em G
What a miracle you are
C G
No childish expectation

Love is not the answer
F Em G
But the line that marks the start
[Chorus]

I thank a God I've never met
