Who I Thought You Were Olivia Lane

1 Verse:
C
Yeah, they told me that you loved me, then they told me to toe the line
C
They said I should be scared of doing things I know you don't like
         Am7
Saying sorry every day
               F
Cuz I was so afraid
 
2 Verse:
           C
That'd you leave me so I left you chasing dreams I never found
C                  Am7
But through these tears here on my knees I'm begging you to come around
          F                                G
Then the God I learned to fear  You showed up and made it clear that

C                               G/H

 You were there in my pain   Yeah
     F                               G
You saw me in the valleys and still loved me anyways

 It's so nice to finally meet you
Am
  Why was I so afraid?

                      G                         C
But thank God you're not who I thought you were

C       Am
You are for me, not against me, for way too long I believed the lie
