Verse 1

[A#]While she lay sleeping I stay out late at night and play my songs

I'll never know just what she sees [Am7]in me I [D]told her someday if she was [Gm]my girl [D]I could change [Gm7]the
world [Em]with my little [Cm]songs I was wrong [D#]but [A#][D#]she has [A#]faith in me and so I go on trying faithfully

Verse 2

while [F]she lays [A#]waiting I stumble to the kitchen for a [D#]bite then [A#]I see [Cm]my old guitar [F]in the night
just waiting [Gm]for me like a secret [Cm]friend and there's [D#]no end while she [A#]lays crying
I fumble with the melody or two [D#]then [Dm]I'm torn [Cm]between the things [F]that [Cm/D#]I should [F]do
