C                      G/B                    Am 
Guess you never really know just what you've got 
                      F6      G        C 
'Til you finally realize she could be gone 
C                      G/B 
I know that I've been taking you for granted 
Am               F6 G 
For the longest time 
C                      G/B             Am 
All you wanted was someone who really cares 
                   F6    G        C 
And I didn't even notice you were there 
C                         G/B             Am 
I promise that I'll never ever make that same mistake 
    A 
Not twice 

 
D 
That was then, this is now 
G 
Took some time to come around 
Em           A/C# 
All I wanna do 
D 
Is try again, show you how 
G 
I know that it's all about 
Bm                  A/C# 
Giving attention to you 
Bm 
I was a fool for way too long 
         E 
What you wanted, I could not see 
Em 
That was then, this is now 
G 
Took some time to figure out 
E/G# 
Love is all you need 



C             G/B                 Am 
Guess I never thought about it before 
                     F6       G        C 
I was thinking of myself, and nothing more 
C                 G/B 
Didn't even wanna try to find out 
Am                F6 G 
How you really feel 

C             G/B                      Am 
Now I see that I'm the lucky one, it's true 
                              F6    G       C 
What we got, you know, I never want to lose 
C                 G/B 
I was trippin' in a fantasy 
    Am                A 
And missing what was real 


D 
That was then, this is now 
G 
Took some time to come around 
Em           A/C# 
All I wanna do 
D

E/G# 
Love is all you need 



Bm 
I used to be someone 
         E/G# 
Who only really thought about themselves 
           Em                 A/C# 
And no one else and you could tell baby 
Bm 
But that's before I understood 
     E/G# 
That when you got something this good 
              G 
Gotta let her know... 
                  E 
And I want you to know 



C                       G/B 
You're always my priority 
                     Am                           F6 
And I wanna give you more than all the love you need 
       G 
Took a little time 
C                          G/B 
And now you know I finally see 
                Am   F6 G 
That you're my world 
C                        G/B 
I never want our love to fade 

Ready, willing 
        Am                        F6 
And I'm gonna do whatever it takes 
       G             C 
No, I'm never gonna let it all slip away 
                   Am 
'cause you're my girl 
 A 
 Yes, you are
