1. While she lays sleeping,

G G7 C

I stay out late at night and sing my songs.

C-G Am D7 Bm

And sometimes all the nights can be so long,

C Am D7

and it's good when I finally make it home, all alone.

G

2. While she lays dreaming,

G G7 C

I try to get undressed without the light.

C-G Am D7 Bm

Then she quietly says, “How was your night ?”

C Am - D7

And I come to her and say, “It was all right !

G - D

And I hold her tight.

G F#m - B7

And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me,

Em G

I told her someday if she was my girl,

Em A Am D7

I could change the world with my little songs, I was wrong.

G F#m - B7

But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully,

Em - G

and who knows, maybe on some special night,

Em A Am D7

if my song is right I will find a way, find a way.

G

3. While she lays waiting,

G G7 C

I stumble to the kitchen for a bite.

C-G Am D7 Bm

Then I see my old guitar in the night,

C Am D7

just waiting for me like a secret friend, and there's no end.

G

4. While she lies crying,

G G7 C

I fumble with a melody or two,

C-G Am D7 Bm

then I'm torn between the things that I should do.

C Am - D

Then she says to wake her up when I am through.

G - D7

God, her love is true.

G F#m - B7

And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me,

Em G

I told her someday if she was my girl,

Em A Am D7

I could change the world with my little songs, I was wrong.

G F#m - B7

But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully,

Em - G

and who knows, maybe on some special night,

Em A Am - D

if my song is right I will find a way - - -
