Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

C Em

She’d take the world off my shoulders

Am

If it was ever hard to move

G

She’d turn the rain to a rainbow

C Em

When I was living in the blue

Am

Why then if she’s so perfect

G

Do I still wish that it was you?

Chorus

C Em

’Cause sometimes I look in her eyes

Am G

And that’s where I find a glimpse of us

C

And I try to fall for her touch

Em

But I’m thinking of the way it was

Am G

Said I’m fine and said I moved on

C Em Am

I’m only here passing time in her arms

G

Hoping I’ll find a glimpse of us

Verse 2

C Em

Tell me he savors your glory

Am

Does he laugh the way I did?
