I'm Not There

	  		Intro:  G  C/G  G  C/G 

                  G 
Ev'ry thing's all right and then she's 

                   F 
all the time in my neighborhood 

               Am 
She cries both day and night 

           G             C/G  G  C/G  G 
I know it 'cause she was there 

       G 
It's a milestone 

          F 
but she's down on her luck 

        Am 
And the day makes her lonely 

            G 
and it's so hard to buck 

         C/G  G  C/G  G 
...I was there 

    C 
I believe that she'd stop him 

          Em 
Where she once stopped to care 

    F 
I believe that she'd look upon 

    C 
beside 'em and care 

        F                       C 
And I'd go by her now and she's on my way 

              G    C/G  G  C/G  G 
But I don't belong there 

     G 
No I don't belong to her 

          F 
I don't belong to anybody 

         Am 
She's my prize forsaken angel 

              G 
But she don't hear me cry 

        G 
She's a lone-hearted mystic 

        F 
And she can carry on 

         Am 
When I'm there, she's all right 

          G            C/G  G  C/G 
But she's not when I'm gone 

       C 
Heaven knows she's the answer 

    Em 
she don't call on no one 

        F 
She's a wave, a thing of beauty 

      C 
she's mine for the one 

        C 
And I'm not hesitating 

       Em 
by temptation lest it runs 

              F 
But she don't follow me 

            G          C/G  G  C/G  G 
but I'm not there, I'm gone 

         G 
Now I'll cry tonight 

       F 
Like I cried the night before 

         Am 
And I'll feast on her eyes but 

     G 
I'll dream about the door 

   G 
So long, Jesus, savior 

      F 
Blind faith worth to tell 

         Am 
It don't have consolation 

         G             C/G  G  C/G  G 
she's my love far thee well 

    C 
Her smile is contagious 

      Em 
I was born to love her 

        F 
But she knows that the kingdom waits 

   C 
so high above her 

      C 
And I run but I race 

         Em 
but it's not too fast or soon 

     F 
I'll try and not deceive her 

        G          C/G  G  C/G  G 
I'm not there, I'm gone 

     G 
It's all about confusion 

      F 
and I cry for her pale 

        Am 
I don't need anybody now 

  G 
beside me to tell 

           G 
Cause it's all affirmation 

       F 
I've received but it's not 

  Am 
I wish I was beside 

            G         C/G  G  C/G  G 
but I'm not there I'm gone 

Yes, she s gone like
