            IF I DIDN'T HAVE YOU    Randy Travis



(E)

Well I lost my heart on the day we met

(E)

But I can't do nothing that I don't regret

(E)

Then I hung around util you said I do

(E)                                  (B7)       (E)

I knew I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you





E

Well it changed my thinking when you changed your name

E

And neither one of us will ever be the same

E

Now I swear I'm never gonna be untrue

E                                   B7          E

Cause I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you



CHORUS:

       A                  E             B7              E

If I didn't have you I'd long ago been left in the dark out in the cold

A                     E                   B7   

Blowing around from town to town like a feather in the wind

      A                  E

If I didn't have you I know where I'd be

B7                         E

Floundering around like a ship at sea

A                          E                               B7 

Lost in the rain of a hurricane and that's where I'd have been



E

But I didn't get lost cause I say your light

E

Shining like a beacon on a cold dark night

E

Then the sun came up and the skies turned blue

E                                 B7          E

No, I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you



Lead,

E

Well, I count my blessing every night I pray

E

That the Lord lets me keep you just a-one more day

E

And every day he does cause God knows too

E                                  B7          E

That I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you



Go to chorus, to ending



ENDING:

E

But I didn't get lost cause I say your light

E

Shining like a beacon on a cold dark night

E

Then the sun came up and the skies turned blue

E                                 B7          E

No, I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you

E      

Well, I've always said it but I swear it's true

E                                     B7         E

I know I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you
