[A] I'vex heard it sa[G]idx
That people c[D]omex into our lives for a re[G]asonx
Bringing som[D]ethingx we must le[A]arnx
And we are l[G]edx to those
who h[D]elpx us most to grow
If we [C] letx them
And we h[G]elpx them in r[A]eturnx
[G]Well,x I don't k[D]nowx if I be[A]lievex that's t[D]ruex
But I [Am] knowx I'm who I am to[C]dayx
[G]Becausex I knew y[A]ou...x
Like a c[G]ometx pulled from o[D]rbitx
As it p[C]assesx a s[A]unx
Like a st[G]reamx that meets a b[D]oulderx
Hal[C]fwayx through the w[A]oodx
[G]Whox can say if [D] xxx I've been ch[C]angedx for the be[Em]tter?x
But b[G]ecausex I kn[D]ewx you
[G]Ixx have been cha[A]ngedx for g[D]oodx
It well may [G] bex
That we will n[D]everx meet again
In this life[G]timex
So let me [D] sayx before we p[A]artx
So much of [G] mex is made
of w[D]hatx I learned from you
You'll be w[C]ithx me
Like a ha[D]ndprintx on my h[A]eartx
[G]Andx now wha[D]teverx way our st[A]oriesx e[D]ndx
I kn[Am]owxx you have re-written m[C]inex
By b[G]eingx my fri[A]end...x
Like a s[G]hipx blown from its moo[D]ringx
By a w[C]indx off the s[A]eax
Like a s[G]eedx dropped by a sky[D]birdx
[C]Inx a distant w[A]oodx
[G]Whox can s[D]ayx if I've been ch[C]angedx for the bet[Em]ter?x
But be[G]causex I k[D]newx you
B[G]ecausex I k[D]newx you
[G]Ixx have been ch[A]angedx for g[D]oodx
[Em]Andx just to cl[C]earx the air
I ask forgi[Em]venessx
For the things I've done you b[C]lamex me for
[A]Butx then, I guess we know
There's bl[C]amex to share
And [Am] nonex of it seems to matter an[C]ymorex
Like a c[G]ometx pulled from or[D]bitx
As it p[C]assesx a s[A]unx
Like a st[G]reamx that meets a b[D]oulderx
H[C]alfwayx through the w[A]oodx
[G]Whox can s[D]ayx if I've been
Cha[A]ngedx for the be[D]tter?x
[G]Ixx do bel[D]ievex I have been
C[A]hangedx for the [G] betterx
And b[G]ecausex I k[D]newx you...
[G]Becausex I k[D]newx you...
[G]Becausex I k[D]newx you...
[G]Ixx have been cha[A]ngedx for g[D]ood...x
