(Db)She may be the face I can’t for (E)get, a trace of plea sure or re (Gb)gret, may be the trea sure or the (Db)price I have to (Bb7)pay,

(Db)She may be the beau ty or the (E)beast, may be the fa mine or the (Gb)feast, may turn each day in to a (Db)hea ven or dy (Bb7)hell.

(Ebm)She may be the mir ror of my (Ab)dreams a smile re flect ed in a (Db)stream, she may not be what she may (Ab7)seem, be the mea in ning side of my life her is (Db)shell.

(Db)She may be the rea son I sur (E)vive the why and where fore I’m a (Gb)live the one I’ll care for in the (Db)rough and rea dy (Bb7)years
