Capo 4
Intro: C G Em
C G
He came to meet me
C
On some July morning
G
He said he missed me
C
He came without warning
Em
We walked for half a day
C
Got lost in my neighborhood
Em
Came back another way
C
Just like I knew we would
G
And he came to meet me
C G
He had some stories
C
He knew a few of mine
G
I had not heard his voice
C
For such a long time
Em
My mind would race a bit
C
Come back to where we stood
Em
I could not keep hold of it
C
Although I knew I should
G
And he came to meet me
C G
C G
I'd seen this whole day
C
Like it was drawing near
G
Sometimes I'd pray for it
C
Sometimes I'd shake with fear
Em
Sometimes the only thought
C
That kept me in the night
Em
Was one that I'd forgot
C
In summer's blinding light
G
And he came to meet me
C G C G C G
C G
I wrote myself a song
C
I could not speak what I'd done
G
He could've been here all along
C
He could've been anyone
Em
But there is no one who
C
Could wake my heart like this
Em
Could break my world in two
C
I felt a suddenness
Em
I felt a suddenness
C
The day fell completely still
Em
The dream was a lot like this
C
But I never knew until
G
He came to meet me
C G C G
