[ C ]         G
   If not for you
D C                       G
    Babe, I couldn't even find the door
D C                 G
    I couldn't even see the floor
D C                Am
    I'd be sad and blue

 If not for you
 
 
[Verse]
[ C ]         G
   If not for you
D C                              G
    Babe, the night would see me wide awake
D C                      G
    The day would surely have to break
D C                     Am
    But it would not be new
Am         | G   D | C | G   D | C |
 If not for you
 
 
[Middle 8]
C                   G
 If not for you, my sky would fall
    D                 G
The rain would gather too
C                         G
 Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
       A7              | D | D/C | D/B | D/A |
I'd be lost, if not for you            (break)
 
 
[Verse]
[ D/A ]         G
     If not for you
D C                  G
    The winter would hold no spring
D C                  G
    'Couldn't hear a robin sing
D C                        Am
    I just wouldn't have a clue
Am         [ G ]
 If not for you
