Verse

A#

While she lays sleeping 

                   A#7/D             D#

I stay out late at night and sing my songs 

A#/D Cm7              F7         F/D#   Dm7

And sometimes all the nights can be so long 

         Gm7                         Cm7

And it's good when I finally make it home -

    F7sus4

All alone 

      F7       A#

While she lays dreaming 

             A#7/D                 D#

I try to get undressed without the light 

A#/D Cm7         F7       F/D#     Dm7

 And quietly she says how was your night 

       Gm7                        Cm7

And I come to her and say it was all right -

F7             A#      F7sus4

And I hold her tight

Chorus

A#sus4     A#

And she believes in me 

A#sus4     A#                 Am7b5

I'll never know just what she sees in me 

  D7                      Gm     Gm/F#

I told her someday if she was my girl 

        Gm/F        Gm/E         Cm7

I could change the world with my little songs -

      Fsus4

I was wrong 

            A#sus4   A#

But she has faith in me 

A#sus4   A#           Am7b5

And so I go on trying faithfully 

D7                           Gm

And who knows, maybe on some special night 

Gm/F#  Gm/F     Gm/E

If my  song is right 

Cm7

I will find a way

F7sus4

Find a way . . .

Verse

A#

While she lays waiting 

                 A#7/D         D#

I stumble to the kitchen for a bite 

A#/D   Cm7        F7        F/D# Dm7

Then I see my old guitar in the night 

     Gm7                         Cm7

Just waiting for me like a secret friend -

             F7sus4

And there's no end 

      F7       A#

While she lies crying 

               A#7/D      D#

I fumble with a melody or two 

A#/D     Cm7              F7     F/D#         Dm7

Then I'm torn between the things that I should do 

         Gm7                           Cm7       F7  A#

Then she says to wake her up when I am through 

                      F7sus4

God her love is true

Repetition: Chorus

A#sus4     A#

And she believes in me 

A#sus4     A#                 Am7b5

I'll never know just what she sees in me 

  D7                      Gm     Gm/F#

I told her someday if she was my girl 

        Gm/F        Gm/E         Cm7

I could change the world with my little songs -

      Fsus4

I was wrong 

            A#sus4   A#

But she has faith in me 

A#sus4   A#           Am7b5

And so I go on trying faithfully 

D7                           Gm

And who knows, maybe on some special night 

Gm/F#  Gm/F     Gm/E

If my  song is right 

Cm7

I will find a way

F7sus4

Find a way . . .
