[Intro]
Am F C G
Am F C G
 
[Verse 1]
Am                    F                       C     G
Never was the kind to think about dressing in white
       Am                     F                   C    G
Wasn't waiting on a prince to come riding into my life
              Am           F
Thought I was happy on my own
         C                   G
'Til you came and proved me wrong
 
 
[Chorus]
          F            C                   Am     G
I finally found what I never knew I always wanted
           F          C                       Am     G
I couldn't see; I was blind 'til my eyes were opened
         F                C
I didn't know there was a hole
          Am            G
Something missing in my soul
         F             G
'Til you filled it up with your love, yeah
Am F C G
Am F C G
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am                     F            C    G
Never pictured myself singing lullabies
Am                    F                          C    G
Sitting in a rocking chair in the middle of the night
       Am            F
In the quiet, in the dark
       C                        G               F
You're stealing every bit of my heart with your daddy's eyes
       G
What a sweet surprise
 
 
[Chorus]
        F              C                   Am     G
Now i'm holding what i never knew I always wanted
           F          C                       Am     G
I couldn't see; I was blind 'til my eyes were opened
         F                C
I didn't know there was a hole
          Am            G
Something missing in my soul
         F             G
'Til you filled it up with your love, yeah
F C Am G
F C Am G
 
 
[Bridge]
F                 G                         Am
Life has a way of showing you just what you need
                         G
And who you were made to be, yeah
 
 
[Chorus]
          F            C                   Am     G
I finally found what I never knew I always wanted
           F          C                       Am     G
I couldn't see; I was blind 'til my eyes were opened
         F                C
I didn't know there was a hole
          Am            G
Something missing in my soul
         F             G
'Til you filled it up with your love, yeah
         F             G
'Til you filled it up with your love, yeah
Am F C G
Am F C G
 
 
[Outro]
  Am            F                               C     G
I never was the kind to think about dressing in white
  Am                    F            C     G
I never pictured myself singing lullabies

She's clearly better than Swift. Swift shouldn't even be compared to Underwood because Taylor's pop, and Carrie's country. While Taylor's old albums were legit country, she still can't top off the true Queen. And yes, this is definitely my favorite song from the Storyteller album. Carrie absolutely slays!

Thank you so much for this one! ;) Love this song so much! The prince is my crush from Arellano Chiefs and JRU Heavy Bombers! I'm in love! ♥ Whew! :/ This is probably the best song on Carrie Underwood's Storyteller album! It's so relaxing and beautiful at the same time! ♥ She's so much better than Taylor Swift! -nitz43 loves Carrie Underwood and Allen Enriquez!

The lyrics in the 2nd chorus are "now i'm holding what i never knew I always wanted." Otherwise, its perfect. Thank you for posting this!
