Start Jamming...
[G] [C] Well, smile just like a river, [F] rolling soft to [C] the sea.
When she blows away my problems, she [G] helps to take a little [C] weight off of me.
Now when she's happy, I'm heaven.
[F] If she's down, she'll never [C] say.
Oh, she knows I'm thread and water.
[G] Yes, she feels I'm better [C] off that way.
[G] But when sadness overcomes me, I'm blinded by the night.
[F] Oh, she takes my hand and leads me [C] to the light.
[G] And she whispers in the morning, she knows the words to say.
[F] She keeps me looking forward to a new day.
[Fm] [C] So I try just to be a lover, and [F] I hope she [C] understands.
And when I hurt her, and I make her crazy, [G] that I'm just an ordinary [C] man.
