G D A
Waving my arms in the air
G D A
love, my love, got no care
C A C A G D A
no care, no, no, pressing my feet to the ground
G D A
stand up right where you stand
C A C A
call to you and what do you do
G D A
laying back in a chair?
G D A
she's so high on the air
G D A
she's so high on the air
C A C A
half and half, half and half
G D A
all you have to do to call
C A C A
is hold her her hand, stand a while
C
and then smile and we'll understand
 
yes we do - yes, yes we do! , G D A
 
G D A
Oh waht a girl I've got too!
G D A
Oh waht a girl I've got too!
C A
with her slinky look
C A
she held her tie to her hair
C A
(and I) could see everywhere
G D A
no-one in the land, no-one
G D A
no-one in the land, no-one
C D A G D A
but it rains on saturday - cats and dogs in the way
C A C A
stormy day, hey, hey
G D A
and you shouldn't try to be what you can't be
G D A
and you shouldn't try to be what you can't be
C A C A
call to you and what do you do
 
G A
There will be shoulders pressing in the hall
G A
and I won't know if you're here at all
G A
there will be wine and drinking in the yard
G A
there won't be anybody very high
G A
there will be lots of things that we can do
G A
and all and more will be for you
D A
everything I knew I tried with you
F# E
but everything to you was never easy
A
so I went ahead around my world
 
I saw the things you do arriving by your side
 
to see you looking too
E
but I know this. I know, I never lied to you
G F
it's been just like you're gone
A G D
for just one day for so long!
F F# G. D
It's been so hard to bear with you not there
E
but thought I think of you, the things you do
 
when I'm with you, to be with you,
 
to be alone...can only think:
A
"Why I am here? What's meant to be?"
