If I Never Knew You (Love Theme from Pocahontas)

(G)If I never (Em)knew you, (G)if I never (Em)felt this love,

(C)I would have no (Am7)inkling of how (C)precious life can (D7sus)be.

(G)And if I never (Em)held you,

(G)I would never (Em7)have a (E7)clue (Am)how,

at last I'd (Cm6)find in (Em)you the missing (Bm)part of (C)me.

(Am6)In this world so (Cmaj7)full of (D7)fear,

(Am6)full of rage and (Cmaj7)lies,

(Bm7)I can (B7)see the (Em)truth so clear

(C)in your eyes, so (D)dry your (C)eyes.

(G)And I'm so grateful (Em)to you.

(G)I'd have lived my whole life (C)through,

(Am7)lost (G)forever (C)if I never knew you.

(Bb)If I never (Gm)knew you, (Bb)I'd be safe but (Gm)half as real,

(Eb)never knowing (Bb)I could feel a (Eb)love so strong and (F7)true.

(Bb)I'm so grateful (Gm)to you.

(Bb)I'd have lived my whole life (Eb)through,

(Cm7)lost (Bb)forever (Eb)if I nev ver knew (F)I thought our (Eb)love would be so (F)(Eb)beautiful.

(Dm7)Somehow we'd make the whole world bright.

(Gm)I never knew that fear and (Ebmaj7)hate could be so (Bb)strong,

all they'd (Gm)leave us were these (Dm7)whispers in the (Eb)night,

but (Cm9)still my heart is (Dm7)saying we were (Eb)right.

(G7sus)Oh. (C)If I never (Am)knew you,

(C)if I never (Am)knew this love,

(F)I would have no (C)inkling (Dm)of how (F)precious life can (G)be.

(G)I thought our (F)love would be so beautiful,

(Em7)somehow we'd make the whole world bright.

(G)I thought our (F)love would be so beautiful,

(Em7)we'd turn the darkness into (G)light.

(C)And (Dm7)still my heart is (Em7)saying we were (F)right.

(Em7)We were right.

And (D)if I never (Bm)knew you,

(D)I'd have lived my (F#m)whole life (G)through (Em7)empty (F#m7)as the (G)sky,

(Em7)never (F#m7)knowing (G)why,

(Bm7)lost (D)forever (A7)if I never knew (D)you.
