[Intro:] A9 G/A A9 G/A A9 G/A F#m7 Bm7 E7(9)(11) A9
 
Cº
She may be the face I can't forget,
Bm7
A trace of pleasure or regret,
E7(9)(11) E/D
May be my treasure or
A7M/C# Em7(9)/B A7(13)
The price I have to pay
 
D/F# G7(9)(11)
She may be the song that summer sings,
G7(9)(#11) C#7(13) C#7(b13)
May be the chill that autumn brings,
F#7(9)(11) F#7(b9) B7(13) B7(b13)
May be a hundred different things
E7(9)(11) E7(b9) A9 G/A A9
Within the measure of a day
 
She may be the beauty or the beast,
May be the famine or the feast,
May turn each day into a
Heaven or a hell
 
D/F# G7(9)(11)
She may be the mirror of my dream,
G7(9)(#11) C#7(13) C#7(b13)
A smile reflected in a stream,
F#7(9)(11) F#7(b9) B7(13) B7(b13)
She may not be what she may seem
E7(9)(11) E7(b9) A9 G/A F7M
Inside her shell
 
C7M
She who always seems so happy in a crowd,
Bb7M
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud,
A7M C#7(#9) F#m7(9) F#m7(9)/E Dm7
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
G7(9)(11) G7(9) C7M
She may be the love that cannot hope to last,
F#m7 B7 E7M B/D#
May come to me from shadows of the past,
C#m7 C#m7/B E7(9)(11) E6(b9)
That I remember till the day I die
 
She may be the reason I survive,
The why and wherefore I'm alive,
The one I'll care for through the
Rough and ready years
 
D/F# G7(9)(11)
Me, I'll take her laughter and her tears
G7(9)(#11) F#m7
And make them all my souvenirs
A7(13) E7(9)(11)
For where she goes I've got to be
E6(b9) A9 G/A
The meaning of my life is she,
 
Fim: A9 G/A
