     D      A        Bm    G              A
I'm independent to a fault, I know this well
        D    A     Bm           G         A
But I finally found love without losing myself
G                  D          A
I'm so much happier sharing my life
G                         D            A
All of the good things and bad things alike
   D      A          Bm            G           D
I'm not afraid of the truth, I'm not me without you

D           G    A   D
 Because of you, I'm me
G                    D           A
All of a sudden, I'm something I wasn't
           G   A  Bm
Because of you, I see
G                   D          A
Everything I can be, lonely is history
G                      D
I know that I'm better when we're together
  A          G     D
Because of you, I'm me

     D               A              Bm
Well, there's nothing wrong with the world
G               A
Oh, when you smile
        D               A     Bm
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
G                  A
Is you breathing at night
G                           D          A
When you're asleep and don't know I can hear
      G                     D        A
Sounds like an angel whispering in my ear
D            A           Bm
I don't know what I would do
     G          D
If it wasn't for you

D           G    A   D
 Because of you, I'm me
G                    D           A
All of a sudden, I'm something I wasn't
           G   A  Bm
Because of you, I see
G                   D          A
Everything I can be, lonely is history
G                      D
I know that I'm better when we're together
  A          G     D
Because of you, I'm me
    A          G     D
Oh, Because of you, I'm me

Bm      F#m     G         A             D
I don't need you the way a child needs a home
Bm                F#m      G
It's more like I'm free to admit
G
I'm not too proud to say out loud
G                                     A
I am who I am 'cause you're part of me now

           G    A   D
Because of you, I'm me
G                    D           A
All of a sudden, I'm something I wasn't
           G   A  Bm
Because of you, I see
G                   D          A
Everything I can be, lonely is history
G                      D
I know that I'm better when we're together
  A          G     D
Because of you, I'm me

  A            G
Oh, Because of you
   D
I'm me
