You Were There
Regine Velasquez
Intro: Cm-Cm/B-Cm/Bb-Cm/A
Ab-Cm-Bb-Dm
Eb Cm Bb Eb
I guess you've heard, I guess you know
Cm
In time I might have told you
Bb(/D) Eb
But I guess I'm too slow
Cm
That I'm overly romantic
Bb Eb
But I know that's not real
Cm
I hope you don't mind
Bb(/D) Eb
If I say what I feel
G#m Bb
It's like I'm in somebody else's dream
G#m Bb
This could not be happening to me
Chorus
Eb Fm
But you were there
Ab Bb Eb
And you were everything I'd never seen
Cm Bb Fm
You woke me up from this long
Gm Ab
And empty sleep, I was alone
Bb Eb-Cm-Bb
I opened my eyes and you were there
Eb Cm Bb Eb
Don't be alarmed, no, don't be concerned
Cm
I don't want to change things
Bb(/D) Eb
Leave them just as they were
Cm
I mean, nothing's really different
Bb Eb
It's me who feels strange
Cm
I'm always lost for words
Bb(/D) Eb
When someone mentions your name
G#m Bb
I know that I'll get over this for sure
G#m Bb
I'm not the type who dreams there could be more
(Repeat Chorus moving chords 1 step <F> higher,
except last word)
Bb
... there
C Am-Bb
Can I take your smile home with me
C Bb-Cm-F-Dm-C
Or the magic in your hair
F Dm C F
The rain has stopped, the storm has passed
Dm
Look at all the colors
C F
Now the sun's here at last
Dm
I suppose that you'll be leaving
C F
But I want you to know
Dm C F
Part of you stays with me even after you go
Bb C
Like an actor playing someone else's scene
Bb C
This could not be happening to me
(Repeat Chorus moving chords 1 step <F> higher,
except last line)
C
I opened my eyes and
Gm Am Bb
No no no no no no, I'm not alone
C F Dm
I opened my eyes and you were there
C F-C-F
You were there
