              Intro:(Asus4/D)(Dm) (Asus4/D)(Dm)
(Bbsus4/Eb)(Eb) (Bbsus4/Eb)(Eb)
 
She (Dm)waits for me at (Am7/C)night
She (Bb)waits for me in (Am7/C)silence
She (Dm)gives me all her (Am7/C)tenderness
(Gm)And takes away (Gm/A)my (Bb)pain (C)
And so (Dm)far she hasn't (Am7/C)run
Though I (Bb)swear she's had her (Am7/C)moments
She (Dm)still believes in (Am7/C)miracles
(Gm)while others (Gm/A)cry in (Bb)vain
 
   It's all about (F)soul (C/E)(Bb/D)
   It's all about (F/C)faith and a deeper de(C/G)votion
   It's all about (F/A)soul (C)(Bb)
   'Cause under the (F/C)love is a stronger e(C/G)motion
   She's got to be (Dm)strong (G)
   'Cause so many (C)things getting out of con(F)trol
   Should drive her (Bb)away, so why does she (F/A)stay?
   It's all about (Asus4/D)soul(Dm) (Asus4/D)(Dm)
   (Bbsus4/Eb)(Eb) (Bbsus4/Eb)(Eb)
   (Asus4/D)(Dm) (Asus4/D)(Dm)
   (Bbsus4/Eb)(Eb) (Bbsus4/Eb)(Eb)
 
She (Dm)turns to me some(Am7/C)times
And (Bb)asks me what I'm (Am7/C)dreaming
And I (Dm)realize I (Am7/C)must have gone
(Gm)A million miles (Gm/A)a(Bb)way (C)
And I (Dm)ask her how she (Am7/C)knew
To (Bb)reach out for me that (Am7/C)moment
And she (Dm)smiles because it's (Am7/C)understood
(Gm)there are no words (Gm/A)to (Bb)say
 
   It's all about (F)soul (C/E)(Bb/D)
   It's all about (F/C)knowing what someone is (C/G)feeling
   The woman's got (F/A)soul (C)(Bb)
   The power of (F/C)love and the power of (C/G)healing
   This life isn't (Dm)fair (G)
   It's gonna get (C)dark, it's gonna get (F)cold
   You've got to get (Bb)tough, but that ain't e(F/A)nough
   It's all about (Asus4/D)soul(Dm) (Asus4/D)(Dm)
   (Bbsus4/Eb)(Eb) (Bbsus4/Eb)(Eb)
   (Asus4/D)(Dm) (Asus4/D)(Dm)
   (Bbsus4/Eb)(Eb) (Bbsus4/Eb)(Eb)
 
   (Gm7)NaNa (C7)NaNa (Gm)NaNa (Am)Na, OhOh(Dm)Oh
   It's all about soul
   (Gm7)NaNa (C7)NaNa (Gm)NaNa (Am)Na
 
   (Gm7)NaNa (C7)NaNa (Gm)NaNa (Am)Na, OhOh(Dm)Oh
   It's all about soul
   (Gm7)NaNa (C7)NaNa (Gm)NaNa (Am)Na
 
There are (Dm)people who have (Am7/C)lost
Every (Bb)trace of human (Am7/C)kindness
There are (Dm)many who have (Am7/C)fallen
There are (Gm)some who still (Gm/A)sur(Bb)vive (C)
She (Dm)comes to me at (Am7/C)night
And she (Bb)tells me her (Am7/C)desires
And she (Dm)gives me all the (Am7/C)love I need
(Gm)To keep my faith (Gm/A)a(Bb)live
 
   It's all about (F)soul (C/E)(Bb/D)
   It's all about (F/C)joy that comes out of (C/G)sorrow
   It's all about (F/A)soul (C)(Bb)
   Who's standing (F/C)now and who's standing to(C/G)morrow
   You've got to be (Dm)hard (G)
   Hard as the (C)rock in that old rock 'n' (F)roll
   But that's only (Bb)part, you know in your (F/A)heart
   It's all about (Asus4/D)soul(Dm) (Asus4/D)(Dm)
   (Bbsus4/Eb)(Eb) (Bbsus4/Eb)(Eb)
   (Asus4/D)(Dm) (Asus4/D)(Dm)
   (Bbsus4/Eb)(Eb) (Bbsus4/Eb)(Eb)
 
   (Gm7)NaNa (C7)NaNa (Gm)NaNa (Am)Na, OhOh(Dm)Oh
   It's all about soul
   (Gm7)NaNa (C7)NaNa (Gm)NaNa (Am)Na
 
   (Gm7)NaNa (C7)NaNa (Gm)NaNa (Am)Na, OhOh(Dm)Oh
   It's all about soul
   (Gm7)NaNa (C7)NaNa (Gm)NaNa (Am)Na
