        C#maj7            G#
It's no secret I've been waiting
      C#maj7         G#
But I didn't expect this
        Fm
Nothing will remain
         D#
Nothing stays the same
      C#
After you came

It's no secret I've been starving
I never felt anything for years
I sat up all night
Just to watch your smile
When you're sleep'ng

Chorus:
         G#              D#
I was so lucky you came by
    Fm                 C#
And turned a different corner
  G#                      D#
I could've been somewhere else
                    C#maj7              G#maj7
You could've passed by, could've passed by

Come on and sail the sea with me
Come on, let's go around the world
Maybe find a flat or a canyon house
For the season

Chorus:
         G#              D#
I was so lucky you came by
    Fm                 C#
And turned a different corner
  G#                       D#
I could've been somewhere else
           C#   D#
You had in mind
          G#              D#
I was so lucky you found me
   Fm                   C#
My rags turned gold and silver
  G#                      D#
I could've been somewhere else
                    C#maj7             G#maj7
You could've passed by, could've passed by

F#              G#                A#m
What would you make of this, my baby?
                       F#
(the sun through the trees)
           Fm      G#       C#   C#   A#m
Is there a better place to be?

Chorus:
         A#              F
I was so lucky you came by
    Gm                D#
And turned a different corner
   A#                       F
It could have been someone else
           D#        F
You had in mind, oh my
         A#                F
I was so lucky you picked me
    Gm             D#
My trash turned to silver
         A#                       F
Yeah, I could have been somewhere else
                    C#maj7               G#maj7
You could've passed by, could've passed by
C#maj7         G#maj7
Uuooh, my babe
