Verse 1:
Ebm           B     Gb          Bb
When I'm with you, I feel like myself
   Ebm          B        Gb           Db
No stranger the shadow of somebody else

When I feel you holding my hand
Ebm   B
I get touched

Ain't this life grand?

And the smell of your hello I know
        B         Gb       Db             Ebm
And the smile of a knife is seldom befriending
        B          Gb     Db
And the smell of tangelo I know

Verse 2:
Ebm           B     Gb              Bb
When I'm near you, I feel like a king
  Ebm          B      Gb         Db
a life force inside to do anything
Ebm          B      Gb               Bb
When I'm downtown, I pick up the phone
Ebm    B       Gb           Db
I hear you, and I'm not alone

Chorus:
Bb       B        Gb      Db           Ebm

And the smell of your hello I know
        B         Gb       Db             Ebm

And the smell of tangelo I know

Bridge:
      Bbm         Ebm         Bbm          Ebm
But December came strong, the mending went wrong
        Abm            Db         Gb   Bb
And the clothes on the line never dried
        Bbm         Ebm       Bbm        Ebm
And the crows on my hill came in for the kill
        Abm           Db             Ebm Daug
But the dream of this love never died

Verse 3:
Gb    Ab7   Ebm         B  Gb          Bb
      But when I lost you out in that field
Ebm        B         Gb        Db
My crooked eyes could hardly conceal
Ebm         B       Gb              Bb
Tell me one time and bring me my tray
Ebm        B      Gb             Db
Oh, let it go, and now I must pray
Bb
 Let's pray, yeah
