Cm7 Cm7 
 
And it's good  when I finally make it home,
Eb/F Eb/F 
 
all    alone
Bb Bb 
 
While she lays dreaming,
Bb/D Bb/D 
 
I try to get undressed
Eb Eb 
 
G7/D G7/D 
 
without the light
Cm7 Cm7 
 
F F 
 
Dm7 Dm7 
 
And quietly she says "how was   your night?"
Gm7 Gm7 
 
And I come  to her and say,
Cm7 Cm7 
 
Eb/F Eb/F 
 
"it was all   right,"
Bb Bb 
 
Eb/F Eb/F 
 
and I hold her tight

I'll never know just what she sees     in me
D7 D7 
 
I told her someday,

if she was my girl,
Gm7 Gm7

I could change the world
Cm7 Cm7 
 
Eb/F Eb/F 
 
With my little songs, I      was wrong

Bb Bb 
 
Bbsus4 Bbsus4 
 
Bb Bb 
 
But she has faith     in me, and so I go  on

D7 D7 
 
trying faithfully
And who knows, maybe,
Gm Gm 
 
GmMaj7 GmMaj7 
 
on some special night,
Gm7 Gm7 
 
Gm6 Gm6 
 
if my song  is right
Cm7 Cm7

I will find  a way, find   a way

Verse 2
Bb Bb 
 
While she lays waiting,
Bb/D Bb/D 
 
Eb Eb 
 
G7/D G7/D 
 
I stumble to the kitchen for a bite
Cm7 Cm7 
 
F F 
 
Dm7 Dm7 
 
Then I see   my old guitar in the night
Gm7 Gm7 
 
Cm7 Cm7 
 
Just waiting for me like a secret friend,
Eb/F Eb/F 
 
and there's no end
Bb Bb 
 
While she lays crying,
Bb/D Bb/D 
 
Eb Eb 
 
G7/D G7/D 
 
I fumble with a melody or  two
Cm7 Cm7 
 
F F 
 
And I'm torn  between the things
Dm7 Dm7 
 
that I     should do
Gm7 Gm7 
 
And she says  to wake her up
Cm7 Cm7 
 
Eb/F Eb/F 
 
when I am  through
Bb Bb 
 
Eb/F Eb/F 
 
God, her love is true

I told her someday
