[Verse 1]
I used to
trust nobody,
Trusting e
ven less their
words,
Until I fo
und somebody,
There was
no one I pre -
fered,
My heart w
as made of sto
ne,
My eyes sa
w only misty g
rey,
Until you
came into my l
ife, girl,
I saw every -
one that way
[Pre - Chorus]
Until I fo
und the one I
needed at my s
/
ide,
I think I
would've been
a sad man all
my life---!

in the original key of Db.
De-tune all strings down a half-step:
String: 6 5 4 3 2 1
Note: D#-G#-C#-F#-A#-D#
I would recommend using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.

D = xx0232 F/C = x33211
F = 133211 or xx3211 Bb/D = xx0331
