Tom: A A G I've heard it said D G That people come into our lives for a reason D A Bringing something we must learn G And we are led to those D who help us most to grow C If we let them G A And we help them in return G D A D Well, I don't know if I believe that's true Am C But I know I'm who I am today G A Because I knew you... G D Like a comet pulled from orbit C A As it passes a sun G D Like a stream that meets a boulder C A Halfway through the wood G D C Em Who can say if I've been changed for the better? G D But because I knew you G A D I have been changed for good G It well may be D That we will never meet again G In this lifetime D A So let me say before we part G So much of me is made D of what I learned from you C You'll be with me D A Like a handprint on my heart G D A D And now whatever way our stories end Am C I know you have re-written mine G A By being my friend... G D Like a ship blown from its mooring C A By a wind off the sea G D Like a seed dropped by a skybird C A In a distant wood G D C Em Who can say if I've been changed for the better? G D But because I knew you G D Because I knew you G A D I have been changed for good Em C And just to clear the air Em I ask forgiveness C For the things I've done you blame me for A But then, I guess we know C There's blame to share Am C And none of it seems to matter anymore G D Like a comet pulled from orbit C A As it passes a sun G D Like a stream that meets a boulder C A Halfway through the wood G D Who can say if I've been A D Changed for the better? G D I do believe I have been A G Changed for the better G D And because I knew you... G D Because I knew you... G D Because I knew you... G A D I have been changed for good...
