[Verse]

               G 
While she lays sleeping 
                   G7/B              C 
I stay out late at night and sing my songs 
G/B  Am7              D7         D/C    Bm7 
And sometimes all the nights can be so long 
         Em7                         Am7
And it's good when I finally make it home -
    D7sus4 
All alone 
      D7       G 
While she lays dreaming 
             G7/B                  C 
I try to get undressed without the light 
G/B  Am7         D7       D/C      Bm7 
 And quietly she says how was your night 
       Em7                        Am7
And I come to her and say it was all right -
D7             G       D7sus4 
And I hold her tight 


[Chorus]

         Gsus4      G 
And she believes in me 
Gsus4      G                  F#m7b5
I'll never know just what she sees in me 
  B7                      Em     Em/D#
I told her someday if she was my girl 
        Em/D        Em/C#        Am7
I could change the world with my little songs -
      Dsus4 
I was wrong 
            Gsus4    G 
But she has faith in me 
Gsus4    G            F#m7b5
And so I go on trying faithfully 
B7                           Em 
And who knows, maybe on some special night 
Em/D#  Em/D     Em/C# 
If my  song is right 
       Am7
I will find a way 
D7sus4 
Find a way . . . 


[Verse]

               G 
While she lays waiting 
                 G7/B          C 
I stumble to the kitchen for a bite 
G/B    Am7        D7        D/C  Bm7 
Then I see my old guitar in the night 
     Em7                         Am7
Just waiting for me like a secret friend -
             D7sus4 
And there's no end 
      D7       G 
While she lies crying 
               G7/B       C 
I fumble with a melody or two 
G/B      Am7              D7     D/C          Bm7 
Then I'm torn between the things that I should do 
         Em7                           Am7       D7  G 
Then she says to wake her up when I am through 
                      D7sus4 
God her love is true 


[Chorus]

         Gsus4      G 
And she believes in me 
Gsus4      G                  F#m7b5
I'll never know just what she sees in me 
  B7                      Em     Em/D#
I told her someday if she was my girl 
        Em/D        Em/C#        Am7
I could change the world with my little songs -
      Dsus4 
I was wrong 
            Gsus4    G 
But she has faith in me 
Gsus4    G            F#m7b5
And so I go on trying faithfully 
B7                           Em 
And who knows, maybe on some special night 
Em/D#  Em/D     Em/C# 
If my  song is right 
       Am7
I will find a way 
D7sus4 
Find a way . . . 


[Ending]

          G      C/E       Cm/G      G
While she waits, while she waits for me
