1. (A capella) Well,
I lost my heart on the day we met,
E B7 E
but I
gained a lot that I don't regret.
E A
E
Then I hung around till you
said “I do”,
I knew I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you.

2. Well, it changed my thinking when you changed your name
E B7 E
and
neither one of us will ever be the same.
E A
E
And I swear I'm never gonna be untrue,
E B7
E
'cause I
wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you.
A
If I didn't have you I'd long ago been left in the dark out in the cold,
A E F# B7
blowing around from town to town like
a feather in the wind.
A
If I didn't have you I know I'd be floundering around like a ship at
sea,
A E F# B7
lost in the rain of a hurricane,
that's where I'd have been !
E A E
3. But I didn't get lost 'cause I saw your light,
shining
like a beacon on a cold dark night.
E A E
And the sun came up and the
skies turned blue,
E B7 E
no, I
wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you

4. Well, I count my blessings every night I pray
that
the Lord lets me keep you just one more day.
E A
E
And every day He does 'cause
God knows, too,
E B7
E
that
I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you.

If I didn't have you I'd long ago been left in the dark out in the cold,

no, I
wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you.
E A E
Well, I already said it, but I
swear it’s true,
I know I wouldn’t have nothing
if I didn’t have you !
