Intro: G   C/G  G  C/G  G

                  G
Ev'ry thing's all right and then she's
                   F
all the time in my neighborhood
               Am
She cries both day and night
            G             C/G  G  C/G  G
I know it 'cause she was there

       G
It's a milestone
          F
but she's down on her luck
        Am
And the day makes her lonely
         G
and it's so hard to buck
         C/G  G  C/G  G
...I was there

    C
I believe that she'd stop him
       Em
if she had time to care
    F
I believe that she'd look upon
    C
beside 'em and care
         F                      C
And I'd go by her now and she's on my way
               G          C/G  G  C/G  G
But I don't belong there

     G
No I don't belong to her
           F
I don't belong to anybody
        Am
She's my prize forsaken angel
              G
But she don't hear me cry
         G
She's a lone-hearted mystic
        F
And she can carry on
        Am
When I'm there, she's all right
          G            C/G   G   C/G
But she's not when I'm gone

         C
Heaven knows she's the answer
      Em
she don't call on no one
         F
She's a wave, a thing of beauty
       C
she's mine for the one

         C
And I'm not hesitating
       Em
by temptation lest it runs
         F
Which she don't follow me
            C
but I'm not there, I'm gone

         G
Now I'll cry tonight
         F
Like I cried the night before
         Am
And I'll feast on her eyes but
       G
I'll dream about the door
    G
So long, Jesus, savior
      F
Blind faith worth to tell
     Am
It don't have consolation
         G             C/G  G  C/G  G
she's my love far thee well

    C
Her smile is contagious
      Em
I was born to love her
        F
But she knows that the kingdom waits
   C
so high above her
      C
And I run but I race
         Em
but it's not too fast or soon
      F
I'll try and not deceive her
        G           C/G  G  C/G  G
I'm not there, I'm gone

     G
It's all about confusion
      F
and I cry for her pale
        Am
I don't need anybody now
    G
beside me to tell
           G
Cause it's all affirmation
         F
I've recieved but it's not
   Am
I wish I was beside
            G          C/G  G  C/G  G
but I'm not there I'm gone
