   Am            F              G       - F
1.      I learned a lesson in my life,
            C              - F - Am - G
    but I learned it the hard way.
           C                  G       F
    I don’t know why I used to fall in love
                    G          - F - Am - G
    with the wrong kind.
      F                     G
    Then I’d suffer so much pain,
     Am                        F
    but I only had myself to blame.
        Dm                         G
    Baby, you came in the nick of time.
       C          Dm        G     - F
To show me love doesn’t have to hurt,
     C    - F       G
to feel good,     it’s such a revelation.
 Am         Dm        F        G
With you I can be myself, I know I should,
Dm                   - F                         
     don’t have to cry,       don’t have to fight, 
Am                 - D
    don’t have to die       night after night.
F       Am         - F
Show me, love, love, love

2.    Darling now it seems to me
                         C              - F - Am - G
    like I’ve always known you.
             C         G           F
    But I still shudder when I think back
                G          - F - Am - G
    on the lonely times.
          F            G
    I used to keep all my feelings inside,
       Am                         F
    from your eyes I have nothing to hide,
      Dm                         G
    baby, you came in the nick of time.
