Cº
She may be the face I can't forget,
Gm7
F trace of pleasure or regret,
E7(9)(11) C/A#
May be my treasure or
F7M/G## Cm7(9)/G F7(13)
The price I have to pay
A#/C## G7(9)(11)
She may be the song that summer sings,
G7(9)(#11) A7(13) A7(b13)
May be the chill that autumn brings,
F#7(9)(11) D7(b9) G7(13) G7(b13)
May be a hundred different things
E7(9)(11) C7(b9)F9D#/FF9
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
A#/C## G7(9)(11)
She may be the mirror of my dream,
G7(9)(#11) A7(13) A7(b13)
F smile reflected in a stream,
F#7(9)(11) D7(b9) G7(13) G7(b13)
She may not be what she may seem
E7(9)(11) C7(b9)F9D#/FC#7M
Inside her shell
G#7M
She who always seems so happy in a crowd,
F#7M
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud,
F7MA7(#9)Dm7(9)Dm7(9)/CA#m7
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
G7(9)(11) D#7(9) G#7M
She may be the love that cannot hope to last,
Dm7G7C7M G/A##
May come to me from shadows of the past,
Am7Am7/G E7(9)(11) C6(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
A#/C## G7(9)(11)
Me, I'll take her laughter and her tears
G7(9)(#11) Dm7
And make them all my souvenirs
F7(13) E7(9)(11)
For where she goes I've got to be
C6(b9)F9D#/F
The meaning of my life is she,
