A D/E A
There's something in the way she moves,
Em D G A
Or looks my way, or calls my name,
Em G C D (*)
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
A D/E A
And if I'm feeling down and blue,
Em D G A
Or troubled by some foolish game,
Em G C A
She always seems to make me change my mind.
Chorus:
A Em D A
And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,
F#m
She's around me now
Bm7 Bm7/E
Just about all the time
A Em D A
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,
F#m Bm7 Bm7/E
She's been with me now quite a long, long time
A G D A
And I feel fine.___________
D C(add 9) G6/B C9 D
Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning
G6/B C9 D
And I find myself careening
C9 G6/B Em7 A7
Into places where I should not let me go.
D C9 G6/B C9 D
-- She has the power to go where no one else can find me
G6/B C9 D
And to silently remind me
G6/B D A Bm7 Bm7/E
Of the happiness and the good times that I know, got to know.
