We were something meant to be

I was so excited that I couldn't believe
C D G
I said baby, I will not forget this day
C
She was an angel
D
Who stepped in my hell
C D (strum chords)
And made my world a better place to be, yeah, yeah
G
I still can't believe she's gone
Em
And I don't know if I can move on
C D
Because she was the best thing I'll ever have
G
And I'll never replace what's lost
