It Was Destiny That Led Me To Meet You

Such a wonderful melody and a heart-touching message... I just want to share this.




I set out on a narrow way
many years ago
hoping I would find true love
along the broken road
but I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
Couldn't see how every sign
pointed strait to you

every long lost dream
led me to where you are
others who broke my heart
they were like northern stars
pointing me on my way
into your loving arms
this much I know is true
that God blessed the broken road
that led me strait to
Led me straight to you
others who broke my heart
they were like northern stars
pointing me on my way
into your loving arms
this much I know is true
that God blessed the broken road
that led me straight to you

Here's the version of Rascal Flatts (original) lyrics (with chords):

Intro:  c   G  Am   F G c (x2)


VERSE1

c              G      Am  F    G       c
I set out on a narrow way many years ago

Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
    Am            G
But I got lost a time or two
    F                   c
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
c                  G     Am   F       G            c
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you



CHORUS
       F         c                 G        c        
Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
            F        c                     F        G
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
             F      c             G     Am
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
            F        c
This much I know is true........
     c                  G    Am

VERSE2
  c                G       Am    F      G        c
I think about the years I spent just passing through
     c                G      Am   F           G       c     
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
     Am                  G
But you just smile and take my hand
F                      c
You've been there you understand
c                   G        Am   F       G      c
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
             F      c             G     Am
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
            F        c
This much I know is true........
     c                  G    Am
