F------F------C     riff 1

C
I, can turn a grey sky blue, and I can make it rain, whenever I want it to
Oh I can build a castle out of one single grain of sand, and I can make a
ship sail
uh, on dry land
F          Fm7              C
But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue
          F  Fm7                C
Cause I cant get next to you
C                      G F C       C                    G F C
Cant get next to you babe, I cant get next to you (2x)

I can fly like a bird in the sky, and I can buy anything that money can
buy,
Oh Ican turn a river into a ragin fire, I can live forever if I so desire

Unimportant are all the things I can do
Cause I cant get next to you
Cant get next to you babe, cant get next to you
Ahhh (cymbal)

Oooooo, OOOoh, OOOhhh, Ohhhh(2x)

I can turn back the hands of time, you better believe I can
And I can make the season change, just by wavin my hand 
Oh I can change anything from old to new
Then I want to do the most, I'm unable to do

Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
Cause girl youre the key to my happiness
And I-----------------------------------------------------
Cant get next to you(girl your blowin my mind)
                         Eb C Eb C
Cause I cant get next to you...........

Funky as can be
