[Verse 1] – – – – – While she lays [G] sleeping, I stay out late at [G7] night and play my [C] songs. [G7] And [Am7] sometimes all the [D7] nights can [D] be so [Bm7] long, and it’s [Em7] good when I finally make it [Am7] home, all [D7SUS4] alone – –
While [D7] she lays [G] dreaming, I try to get [G7/B] undressed without the [C] light. [G7/B] And [Am7] quietly [D7] she says “How [D/C] was your [Bm7] night?” And I [Em7] come to her and say, it was [Am7] all right, [D7] and I hold her [G] tight. [D7SUS]
[CHORUS] And she [GSUS] believes in [G] me, [GSUS] I’ll never [G] know just what she [F#m7B5] sees in me. ALT – PLAY Am rather than [F#m7/B5] I [B7] told her someday if she [Em] was my [E7] girl, I could [Em7] change the world.
With my [Am7] little songs, I was [DSUS]wrong but she has [GSUS4] faith in [G] me,
[GSUS] and so I [G] go on trying [Em] faithfully. [B7] And who knows maybe on some [Em] special night, if my [Em7] song is [Em] right I can [Am7] find a way, [D7] . . find a way . . .

[Verse 2] – – – – – While she lays [G] waiting, I stumble to the [G7] kitchen for a [C] bite. [G] Then I [Am] see my old [D7] guitar in [D] the [D6] night. Just [Em7] waiting for me like a secret [Am7] friend, and there’s no [D7SUS] end
While [D7] she lays [G] crying, I fumble with a [G7] melody or [C] two, [G] And I’m [Am7] torn between the [D7] things that [D] I should [Bm7] do, and she [Em7] says to wake her up when I am [Am7] through. [D7] [G] God her love is [D7SUS] true.
[CHORUS] – – – – – And she [GSUS] believes in [G] me, [GSUS] I’ll never [G] know just what she [F#m7B5] sees in me. I [B7] told her someday if she [Em] was my [Em] girl, I could [Em7] change the world, with my [Am7] little songs, I was [DSUS] wrong, but she has [GSUS] faith in [G] me, [GSUS] and so I [G] go on trying [Em] faithfully. [B7] And who knows maybe on some [Em] special night,
if my [Em7] song is [Em] right, I can [Am7] find a way, [D7SUS] . . find a way . . . While she [G] waits, [C] while she [Cm] waits . . . for [G] me.
