D                       G
I never thought I needed anyone
A                    D         G A D
Or anything to get me through
D                          G
Come to close and then I'd start to run
A                             D     G A D
Just to stay one step ahead of you
D                         G
And I'd see others walking hand in hand
A                             D       G A D
Say to myself what a couple of fools
D                       G
How could one woman just love one man
A                        D      G A D
And not tear his heart in two

[Interlude]
D  G  A  D  G A D  (x2)

[Verse]
D                         G
Fools chase love around so desperately
A                  D       G A D
Till the end up all alone
D                      G
Shouldn't love come more naturally
A                       D
Like a river cuts into a stone
     G A D
And you know I

[Chorus]
D             G
I love you for loving me
A                               D      G A D
Because it's a rare and precious thing
D                                G
And you can't run from love that's meant to be
A                     D        G A D
So let it shine on everything

[Interlude]
D  G  A  D  G A D  (x4)

[Verse]
D                        G
Took a little while but I found myself
A                           D     G A D
Right where I did not need to be
D                         G
I try to push the blame on someone else
A                                      D
That's when it all came crashing down on me
            G A D
And that's why I

[Chorus]
D             G
I love you for loving me
A                              D          G A D
Because it's a rare and precious thing
D                                G
And you can't run from love that's meant to be
A                      D
So let it shine on everything
A                      D     G A D
Oh let it shine on everything
