There's (C)some thing in the (Dm7)way she (Dm)moves,

or looks my (F)way, or (Bb)calls my (C)name

that (Gm)seems to leave this (Bb)trou bled world be (F)hind.

And if (C)I'm to feel ing (Dm7)down and (Dm7)blue,

or trou bled (F)by some (Bb)fool ish game,

she (Gm)al ways seems to (Bb)make me change my (C)mind.

And I feel fine an y time (F)she's a (C)round me now,

(F)she's a (Am7)round me now,

just a bout all the (F)time.

And if I'm well, you can tell (F)she's been (C)with me (F)now,

(F)she's been (Am7)with me now,

quite a (F)long, long time,

and (G7)I feel fine.

Ev 'ry now and then the things I lean on (Eb6)lose their mean ing and I (Bb)find my (Eb6)self ca reen ing in to (Eb)plac es where I (Bb)should n't (Gm7)let me (C7)go.

She has the (Eb6)pow-er to go where (Bb)no one else can find me, and to (Bb)si lent ly re mind me of the (Bb)hap pi (Eb6)ness and good times (C7)that I (Dm7)know

just got to know them.
