   Here's a story, lovely lady

   Finest girl, don't give me woe
             E/G#
   'Cause she told me that she loves me

   That she would not take control
          G#m
   So I told her I'm not fronting

   I won't mess with what I find
        E/G#
   Gonna keep her close to me and

   Give her love that is divine, yeah

                G#m
   I'm going to bring you back to reality

   Where things aren't always nice
             E/G#
   Lots of fussing, lots of cussing

   Sometimes things don't turn out right
              G#m
   So I keep her close to me

   And tell her everything's all right
              E/G#
   No more crying, no more shadows

   Girl, I'll be your light, now yeah

   You know that we can do this right
  E/G#
   If only you would open up
                                G#m--break
   Scared of messing with your mind

   Now, I'm not saying that I ain't free

   'Cause I know I'd do you wrong
           E/G#
   And I'm praying that you will see

   That I do not mean you harm
           G#m 
   It ain't easy 'cause I am me

   Sometimes hard to tell the truth
               E/G#
   Still I'm trying, please believe that
                                     G#m-
   Try my best to close these wounds
         E/G#               G#m
