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.
