            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.
