[Intro]

[Strophe]
               G 
While she lays sleeping  
                   G7/B              C 
I stay out late at night and sing my songs  
G/B  Am7              D7         D/C    Bm7 
And sometimes all the nights can be so long  
         Em7                         Am7 
And it's good when I finally make it home - 
    D7sus4 
All alone  
      D7       G 
While she lays dreaming  
             G7/B                  C 
I try to get undressed without the light  
G/B       Am7    D7       D/C      Bm7 
Then she quietly says how was your night  
       Em7                        Am7 
And I come to her and say it was all right - 
D7             G       D7sus4 
And I hold her tight 
[Refrain]
         Gsus4      G 
And she believes in me  
Gsus4      G                  F#m7b5 
I'll never know just what she sees in me  
  B7                      Em     Em/D# 
I told her someday if she was my girl  
        Em/D        Em/C#        Am7 
I could change the world with my little songs - 
      Dsus4 
I was wrong  
            Gsus4    G 
But she has faith in me  
Gsus4    G            F#m7b5 
And so I go on trying faithfully  
B7                           Em 
And who knows, maybe on some special night  
Em/D#  Em/D     Em/C# 
If my  song is right  
       Am7 
I will find a way  
D7sus4 
Find a way . . . 
[Strophe]
               G 
While she lays waiting  
                 G7/B          C 
I stumble to the kitchen for a bite  
G/B    Am7        D7        D/C  Bm7 
Then I see my old guitar in the night  
     Em7                         Am7 
Just waiting for me like a secret friend - 
             D7sus4 
And there's no end  
      D7       G 
While she lies crying  
               G7/B       C 
I fumble with a melody or two  
G/B      Am7              D7     D/C          Bm7 
Then I'm torn between the things that I should do  
         Em7                           Am7       D7  G 
Then she says to wake her up when I am through  
                      D7sus4 
God her love is true 
[Refrain]
         Gsus4      G 
And she believes in me  
Gsus4      G                  F#m7b5 
I'll never know just what she sees in me  
  B7                      Em     Em/D# 
I told her someday if she was my girl  
        Em/D        Em/C#        Am7 
I could change the world with my little songs - 
      Dsus4 
I was wrong  
            Gsus4    G 
But she has faith in me  
Gsus4    G            F#m7b5 
And so I go on trying faithfully  
B7                           Em 
And who knows, maybe on some special night  
Em/D#  Em/D     Em/C# 
If my  song is right  
       Am7 
I will find a way  
D7sus4 
Find a way . . . 
[Outro]
          G      C/E       Cm/G      G 
While she waits, while she waits for me
