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
