G C/GG CG G
Intro: /
G
Ev'ry thing's all right
F
And then she's all the time in my neighborhood
Am
She cries both day and night
G
I know it 'cause she was there
G F
It's a milestone but she's down on her luck
Am
And the day makes her lonely
G
And it's so hard to buck, I was there
C Em
I believe that she'd stop him if she'd fine time to care
F C
I believe that she'd look upon beside 'em and care
F C
And I'd go by her now and she's on my way
G C/GG CG G
/
But I don't belong there
G
No I don't belong to her
F
I don't belong to anybody
Am
She's my prize forsaken angel
G
But she don't hear me cry
G
She's a lone-hearted mystic
F
And she can carry on
Am
When I'm there, she's all right
G
But she's not when I'm gone
C Em
Heaven knows she's the answer she don't call on no one
F C
She's a wave, a thing of beauty she's mine for the one
C Em
And I'm not hesitating by temptation lest it runs
F G
Which she don't follow me but I'm not there, I'm gone
G F
Now I'll cry tonight, like I cried the night before
Am G
And I'll feast on her eyes but I'll dream about the door
G F
So long, Jesus, savior, blind faith worth to tell
Am G C/GG CG
/
It don't have consolation she's my love far thee well
C Em
Her smile is contagious I was born to love her
F C
But she knows that the kingdom waits so high above her
C Em
And I run but I race but it's not too fast or soon
F G
I'll try and not deceive her I'm not there, I'm gone
G F
It's all about confusion and I cry for her pale
Am G
I don't need anybody now beside me to tell
G F
Cause it's all affirmation I've recieved but it's not
Am G
I wish I was beside but I'm not there I'm gone
