Intro:
|A Em9 |A Em9 |A Em9 |A Em9 |
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
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
A Em D A
And I feel fine anytime she’s around me now
F#m7 Bm7
She’s around me now
D/E Bm7 D/E
Almost all the time
A Em D A
And if I’m well you can tell that she’s been with me now
F#m7 Bm7
And she’s been with me now
D/E Bm7 D/E
Quite a long, long time
A G D A
And I feel fine
D Cadd9 G/B Cadd9 D
Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning
G/B Cadd9 D
And I find myself careening
Cadd9 Bm Em A7
Into places where I should not let me go
D Cadd9 G/B Cadd9 D
she has the power to go where no one else can find me
G/B Cadd9 D
Yes, and to silently remind me
G/B Cadd9 D A Bm7 D/E
Of the happiness and good times that I know,
Bm7 D/E
Well I said I just got to know that
A D/E A
It isn’t what she’s got to say
Em D G A
Or how she thinks or where she’s been
Em G C D
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound
A D/E A
I like to hear them best that way
Em D G A
It doesn’t much matter what they mean
Em G C A
she says them mostly just to calm me down
Chorus:
A Em D A
And I feel fine anytime she’s around me now
F#m7 Bm7
She’s around me now
D/E Bm7 D/E
Almost all the time
A Em D A
And if I’m well you can tell that she’s been with me now
F#m7 Bm7
And she’s been with me now
D/E Bm7 D/E
Quite a long, long time
A G D A
And I feel fine
