Intro: G

Verse

G C

When the summer days live to bore you,

D G

And the river lies long before you,

G C

And the one that you love ignores you,

D7 G

I'll be your girl.

G C

Like a senator works a full room,

D G

Like a lover undone by full moon,

G C

Like a lily alive in full bloom,

D7 G

I'll be your girl.

Bridge

Em C

And when the tempests rage,

G G

And all the oceans roar, at your door;

Em C

I could be your man,

D D7

But I'd be that much more, and more.

Verse

G C

So when everything soft abrades you,

D G

When fortune has long betrayed you,

G C

And you're longing for an arm to stay you,

D7 G

I'll be your girl.

And when the tempests rage,

And all the oceans roar, at your door;

I could be your man,

But I'd be that much more, and more.

Verse

G C

So if you're ever feeling less your time due,

D G

Like someone bereft and lied to,

G C

And you never need a guy to guide you,

D7 G

I'll be your girl.

D7 G

I'll be your girl.

D7 G

I'll be your girl.
