Verse 1
D 
C 
G 
Now I've had a lot of regrets,
F 
C 
but I've got so much
D 
to be thankful for.
G 
I  come from a pretty good home,
C 
and my mother gave me
the best of advice.
Em 
But like any young girl
D 
G 
who's never experienced love,
she gets caught up in a
C 
love trap every time.
Set by some jive Casanova
Em 
G 
who doesn't mean himself, her,
C 
or anybody else any good.
I have a pretty good education too,
G 
I went to one of the best schools,
C 
but I never learned the real
meaning of hurt,
until a man locked me up
G 
and just tore my heart to shreds.
But on the other hand,
C 
I never knew the real
meaning of true love,
G 
until you came along and set me free.
C 
You see, I  had lost all faith
D 
C 
in the word man.
G 
Ah, but sweet you, you changed that.
C 
I'm sorry if I go to left field on you,
baby.
G 
But I've got to say that to say this.
C 
You see, in some foreign countries,
I can't remember the exact name,
G 
they have an old custom
C 
and that is when you save someone's life
you are responsible for that life
G 
C 
G 
C 
G 
as long as it shall live.
D 
Baby, that's why I've got to say
G 
C 
That my love is in your hands
D 
G 
Ooh, guide me where
C 
G 
Ooh, ooh, ooh
D 
G 
Darling, my love
C 
Is in your hands
D 
G 
C 
G 
D 
B 
Come on and guide me where
Oh, you shouldn't
have been so good to me,
Em 
G 
and you shouldn't have been
Em 
so good for me.
B 
And now I'm lookin' up to you
C 
D 
And I'm depending on you
G 
Cause darling my love
C 
You hold me in your hands
G 
C 
G 
Yeah, so guide me well
I keep saying, darling,
C 
my love is in your hands
G 
C 
G 
Come on and guide me well
You
