        Just about all the time

A (x02220@1)          Em (022000@1)  D (xx0232@1)       A (x02220@1)       And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,

F#m (244222@1)       Bm7 (x20202@1)   Bm7/E
        She's been with me now quite a long, long time

G6/B  C9 (x3233x@1)      DAnd (xx0232@1)I find myself careening

C9 (x3233x@1)          G6/B             Em7    A7Into (x02020@1)places where I should not let me go.

G6/B C9 (x3233x@1)   DAnd (xx0232@1)to silently remind me

G6/B             D (xx0232@1)        A (x02220@1)    Bm7 (x20202@1)       Bm7/E
