D(add9) Gmaj9
Knowing the way the wind was gonna blow
D(add9) Gmaj9
That was the way that I?d be going
Gmaj9 Bmaj7
Too a - fraid to stand alone
Em7
Too unsure to ever make my mind up
Em7 G/A
Following the crowd was where I?d wind up
Just like the tide keeps changing with the moon
Day after day I changed direction
Trying hard to find myself
Wond?ring where my hopes and dreams had gone to
There I was with nothing to hold on to
Chorus:
Bb/C
Oh but
F Em7/5- Dm7
Then I took my strength from you

I had none, I had none
F Em7/5- Dm7
And then I took my faith from you
Cm7 Cm7/F Bmaj7 Am7 Dm(add9)
I had none, I had none

Until I met you
Bbmaj7 D
Just when I needed your love, I met you

Trying hard to find myself

There I was with nothing to hold on to
