Intro:
G

Verse:
G                     C
 When the summer days live to bore you,
D                   G
 And the river lies long before you,
G                     C
 And the one that you love ignores you,
D7             G
  I'll be your girl.

G               C
 Like a senator works a full room,
D               G
 Like a lover undone by full moon,
G             C
 Like a lily alive in full bloom,
D7             G
  I'll be your girl.

Bridge:
Em                      C
  And when the tempests rage,
                   G             G
And all the oceans roar, at your door;
Em                C
  I could be your man,
                     D         D7
But I'd be that much more, and more.

Verse:
G                   C
 So when everything soft abrades you,
D                 G
 When fortune has long betrayed you,
G                          C
 And you're longing for an arm to stay you,
D7             G
  I'll be your girl.

Solo:
G C D G  G C D G

Bridge:
Em                      C
  And when the tempests rage,
                   G             G
And all the oceans roar, at your door;
Em                C
  I could be your man,
                     D         D7
But I'd be that much more, and more.

 Verse:
G                         C
So if you're ever feeling less your time due,
D               G
 Like someone bereft and lied to,
G                     C
 And you never need a guy to guide you,
D7             G
  I'll be your girl.
D7             G
  I'll be your girl.
D7             G
  I'll be your girl.
