Verse 1
From Me To You - Janis Ian
Dsus4* Cmaj13 G/D Gm/D D Dsus4 Cmaj13/D*
G/D* Gm/D* D* Am/E
I'm [Csus2/D] leaving by [G/D] night, -
Gm/D Dsus4*
I'm leaving a - lone
Cmaj13/D* G/D
I´m Leaving it lie, -
Gm/D Dsus4*
when you waken I'll be gone
Cmaj13/D* G/D
I would not beg for me -
as I [D] would not beg for [Csus2/D] you
though I'd [G/D] like to be the [Gm/D] one to see you [D] through
Every [Csus2/D] step you have [G/D] take -
Gm/D Dsus4*
Disap - pears with the tide
Cmaj13/D* G/D
You're torn up and shaken -
Gm/D Dsus4*
with changing your mind
Cmaj13/D* G/D
You haven't got the grace -
to [D] say you'll finally de- [Csus2/D] cide
and you [G/D] haven't got the [Gm/D] strength to stay to [D] fight
Those [Csus2/D] people who surround you -
only [G/D] want to see you [Gm6/D] weak enough to [D] crawl
They'll [Csus2/D] lie for you, decide for you
and [G/D] buy up all your [Gm/D] rights and all your [D] wrongs
And they'll [Csus2/D] try to stop your [G/D] singing,
Gm/D D (D)
in the middle of your song
for they [Csus2/D] do not want you [G/D] free,
and they [D] will not make you [Csus2/D] strong -
but only [G/D] drag you down in the [Gm/D] hole they're coming [D] from
They [Csus2/D] say you are [G/D] foolish -
Gm/D Dsus4*
in wanting the sun
Cmaj13/D* G/D
Say you selfish -
Gm/D Dsus4*
in learning to run
[Csus2/D] Tell you that the [G/D] darkness -
is a [D] blessing in disguise
For you [Csus2/D] never have to [G/D] notice -
if you're [D] sighted or you're [Csus2/D] blind
G/D Gm/D Dsus4*
And they'll do their best to keep you from the light
Cmaj13/D* - G/D* - Gm/D* - Dsus4* - Cmaj13/D* - G/D* - Gm/D* - D*
You're [Csus2/D] more than be - [G/D] ginning, -
Gm/D Dsus4*
you're learning to fly
You [Cmaj13/D] feel like you're [G/D] falling,
but it [Gm/D] passes in [D] time
I [Csus2/D] hate to see a [G/D] friend go down in [D] flames without a[Csus2/D]
song,
so I'm[G/D] waiting by the [G/D] doorway - I[Gm/D] will not linger [D] long
I'm [Csus2/D] leaving by [G/D] night, -
Gm/D Dsus4*
I'm leaving a - lone
Cmaj13/D* G/D
I´m Leaving it lie, -
Gm/D Dsus4*
when you waken I'll be gone
Cmaj13/D* G/D
I would not beg for me -
as I [D] would not beg for [Csus2/D] you
But I'd [G/D] like to be the [Gm/D] one to see you [D] through
