Song Sheet

(Intro: Em Am D7 G) AmShe'd take the world off my D7shoulders If it was Gever hard to Emmove AmShe turned the rain to a D7rainbow When I was Gliving in the Emblue AmWhy then, if she's so D7perfect? Do I Gstill wish that it was Dyou? AmPerfect don't mean that it's D7working So what can I Gdo? (Ooh E7ooh) (Chorus) 'Cause sometimes I Amlook in her eyes And that's where I D7find a glimpse of Gus Em And I try to Amfall for her touch But I'm thinking D7of the way it Gwas Em Said I'm Amfine and said I moved D7on I'm only here Gpassing time in her Emarms Hoping I'll Amfind a glimpse of D7us (Bridge) AmTell me he savors your D7glory Does he Glaugh the way I Emdid? Is this a Ampart of your story? One that I D7had never Bblived? Maybe one Amday you'll feel lonely And in his D7eyes, you'll get a glimpse Maybe you'll Gstart slipping slowly And find me E7again... (Chorus) 'Cause sometimes I Amlook in her eyes And that's where I D7find a glimpse of Gus Em And I try to Amfall for her touch But I'm thinking D7of the way it Gwas Em Said I'm Amfine and said I moved D7on I'm only here Gpassing time in her Emarms Hoping I'll Amfind a glimpse of D7us G
