Tom: C

(verse 1)
             G            D
There are no words  I can use 
            G              G7                C
Because the meaning  still leaves for you to choose.
               Em                      Bm        Cmaj9 C
And I couldn't stand  to let them be a-bused  by you   you.

 Dreams I had just last night;
Am       Dm      A          Dm
 Made me scared  white with fright.
        Bb           C7        F
But I'm over to that sunnyside road 
Bb            C7        Dm    G
 Over to that sunnyside road.

 Fortunes come and fortunes go 
Am7             Dm           A                  Dm
 But things get better babe; that's one thing I know.
        Bb           C7        F
And I'm over to that sunnyside road 
Bb            C7        Dm    G
 Over to that sunnyside road.

Now I have a friend  that I have met 
             E          Ebm        Bbm7   Bb  Ab
Who gives me love and a certain re-spect.
F#                C#
 Just a little re-spect;
F#               C#                F#   C#
 Everybody needs just a little res-pect.
           F#       C#
That means you  you 
F#         C#        F#        C#
 You  you  you  you  you  you  you.

To you  you...
D7               G7              Em7       Am

Dm7               Em7          E                 Asus4 A   D7
 There'll be some-one who will love you just for who   you are

Really are  are  are.         for truth!

 Dreams I had just last night;
Am7      Dm       A7             Dm
 Made me worried; face up to the light.
A7              Dm
 Face up to the light.

G
 You can live in the largest house 
      C
And e-leven apartments too.

 Run your own private plane

And a boat in Malibu.

 But 'till you know deep down

What in-side you really need.

(verse 9)

And I think about you some-times.

 Man must fight for freedom;
            Em                           Am   C  Am  Em
Sure that's what most other people would say.
Am7                 Dm
 Look for a body to lead them;
            Em
But there's too many to lead them a-way.
Am   C  Am  Em
 Ah......

Am7                  Dm7
 Why wait until it's your time to die 
           Em                          Am   C  Am  Em
Before you learn what you were born to do?

But there's only one freedom for you.

 'Cos you've been  a saving grace to me.

 And I'd hate to face  a day 
                    G  Em         D          D7
Without you around; my life would be without sound.

         Am              G       Em       D            D7
'Cos you taste to me  as good as God made honey taste  babe.
        Am                    G                Em         D   D7
And the sky all glistens with gold when you're talking to me.
        Am7                     G            Em           D     D7
And the whirling wind  turns to song; why it sets my soul free  free.

Oh dar-ling; you see my face 
               G             G7                C
But it's in my heart; that's where it's taking place.
               Em7                    Bm         C(add9) C    Bb  F  D

I knew that I need not look no more.
C/B             Am7            D
 I've seen many other girls be-fore
