[Intro]

[Intro Verse]

F                A             Dm            F7    
I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night
Bb               C                F              Dm
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out the light
Bb              C                F              Dm
I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long
Bb                 C              Bb       F  
I never heard the melody, until I needed a song.


[Bridge/Intro]

Bb  C  F   (x2)


[Verse 2]

F                A                    Dm             F7
I never saw the white line, 'til I was leaving you behind
Bb              C                    F              Dm
I never knew I needed you 'til I was caught up in a bind
Bb               C                F              Dm
I never spoke 'I love you' 'til I cursed you in vain,
Bb               C                    Bb            F  
I never felt my heartstrings, until I nearly went insane.


[Bridge/Intro]

Bb  C  F   (x2)


[Verse 3]

F                A                Dm          F7
I never saw the east coast 'til I move to the west
Bb               C                 F                 Dm
I never saw the moonlight until it shone off of your breast
Bb               C                  F                                   Dm
I never saw your heart 'til someone..tried to steal, tried to steal it away
Bb                C                Bb               F  
I never saw your tears, until they rolled down your face.


[Bridge/Intro]

Bb  C  F   (x2)


[Outro Verse]

F                A             Dm            F7
I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night
Bb               C                F               Dm
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out your love light, baby
Bb              C                F              Dm
I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long
Bb                 C              Bb       F  
I never heard the melody, until I needed a song.
