Intro:
|A     Em9   |A     Em9   |A     Em9   |A     Em9   |
        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
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
           A       Em   D      A
And I feel fine anytime she’s around me now
      F#m7            Bm7
She’s around me now
          D/E       Bm7    D/E
Almost all the time 
           A            Em        D          A
And if I’m well you can tell that she’s been with me now
               F#m7            Bm7
And she’s been with me now
         D/E       Bm7    D/E
Quite a long, long time
           A      G   D    A
And I feel fine
D             Cadd9             G/B    Cadd9    D
Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning
      G/B    Cadd9    D
And I find myself careening
     Cadd9           Bm               Em   A7
Into places where I should not let me go
D           Cadd9             G/B    Cadd9     D              
she has the power to go where no one else can find me
            G/B   Cadd9     D
Yes, and to silently remind me
       G/B Cadd9 D          A      Bm7     D/E 
Of the happiness and good times that I know, 
       Bm7                D/E
Well I said I just got to know that
   A                D/E   A
It isn’t what she’s got to say
Em         D         G           A
Or how she thinks or where she’s been
   Em                G         C        D
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound
  A                 D/E      A
I like to hear them best that way
Em              D      G         A
It doesn’t much matter what they mean
    Em               G       C       A
she says them mostly just to calm me down
Chorus:
           A       Em   D      A
And I feel fine anytime she’s around me now
      F#m7            Bm7
She’s around me now
          D/E       Bm7    D/E
Almost all the time 
           A            Em        D          A
And if I’m well you can tell that she’s been with me now
               F#m7            Bm7
And she’s been with me now
         D/E       Bm7    D/E
Quite a long, long time
           A      G   D    A
And I feel fine
