[VERSE 1]
[G]In earlier days there was plenty of time just to play the field.
[C]Played the cards as they fell, fell in l[G]ove with her as she dealed.
[Em]Never thought those d[C]ays would pass and I[G]’d be growing o[D]ld.
[Em]Never thought I’d go loo[C]king for she[G]lter from the c[D]old, from the c[G]old

[VERSE 2]
[G]Sometimes I’d pick the wrong side I wouldn’t call that a mistake.
[C]Winning some and losing some you c[G]an’t always get the breaks.
[Em]Never thought I’d look [C]so far back to what se[G]ems like yesterd[D]ay.
[Em]Never thought those you[C]thful days would e[G]ver slip aw[D]ay slip aw[G]ay

[VERSE 3]
[G]Used to wonder if I’d find someone and raise a family.
[C]No that didn’t happen I guess it wa[G]sn’t meant to be.
[Em]Never thought, that [C]I’d conclude it[G]’s really not [D]too bad.
[Em]I never thought [C]about it for long, can’t[G] miss what you neve[D]r had, never[G] had

[VERSE 4]
[G]Then one day in an unexpected way, I ran into you.
[C]I didn’t wonder if you were right for me it was s[G]omething I already knew.
[Em]Never thought that n[C]ecessarily w[G]e would go this f[D]ar.
[Em]Never thought you’d still be b[C]y my side lik[G]e a shining sta[D]r, shining sta[G]r.

[CHORUS]
[Em]Now I can see your smiling eyes w[C]here ever we call home.
[G]I can see your smiling eyes when I f[D]ind myself alone.
[Em]I can feel those smiling eyes as you w[C]rap your arms around me.
[G]I can see your smiling eyes when we k[D]iss at the lucky tree [G]
