I Had Something

INTRO: Em


I had something, it fell from me
          C                       G  D
Something strong, like a pounding drum
             Em                C
Like ringing bells, when I was young
      D                    Em
I had something and it was gone



I had something, made me walk all night
                 C             G  D
Made me run from home, made me fight
      Em                       C
I had something, made me feel alone
        D                    Em
Like an orphan waiting for a home


CHORUS:
      C        G      D
Every footstep that I take
              C      D       Em
Completes the circle my life makes
      C      G                   D
Every living thing has ties that bind
       Am7    C                  Em
What I lost returns with love in time



I heard something, it called to me
       C             G  D
And it told me I was saved
       Em             C
Not by god and not by words
       D          Em
Not by any living thing



It was the voice that I once knew
      C               G   D
Of my daughter, of my son
        Em               C
Not yet born and not yet known
        D                    Em
Another orphan waiting for a home


CHORUS:
      C        G      D
Every footstep that I take
              C      D       Em
Completes the circle my life makes
      C      G                   D
Every living thing has ties that bind
       Am7    C                  Em
What I lost returns with love in time


INSTRUMENTAL: Em   C   G  D  Em   C   D  Em


CHORUS:
      C        G      D
Every footstep that I take
              C      D       Em
Completes the circle my life makes
      C      G                   D
Every living thing has ties that bind
       Am7    C                  Em
What I lost returns with love in time
      C      G                   D
Every living thing has ties that bind
       Am7    C                  Em
What I lost returns with love in time
