Words & music by Paul Simon 1989
Bm | |Em | | | |Bm |
Oo---------------------
|
I feel good
|
It's a fine day
|Em |
The way the sun hits off the runway
|
A cloud shifts
|
The plane lifts
|Bm |
She moves on
|
But feel the bite
|
Whenever you believe that
|Em |
You'll be lost and love will find you
|
When the road bends
|
And the song ends
|Bm | |B7sus4 | | | | | | | |Bm |
She moves on
B7sus4 | | | | | | | |Bm | | | | Em/B|Bm | Em/B|
Bm |
I know the reason
|
I feel so blessed
|Em
My heart still splashes
|
Inside my chest, but she
|
She is like a top
|
She cannot stop
A |Bm |
She moves on
|
A sympathetic stranger
| |Em |
Lights a candle in the middle of the night
|
Her voice cracks
|
She jumps back
|Bm |
But she moves on
| | |Em |
She says "Ooh my storybook lover
| |
You have underestimated my power
|Bm |
As you shortly will discover"
| |
Then I fall to my knees
| |
Shake a rattle at the skies
|
I'm afraid that I'll be taken
|
Abandoned, forsaken
| | |B7sus4 | | |
In her cold coffee eyes
|Bm
She can't sleep now
|
The moon is red
|Em
She fights a fever
|
She burns in bed
|
She needs to talk so
|
We take a walk
A |Bm |
Down in the maroon light
|
She says "Maybe these emotions are
| |
As near to love as love will ever be"
|
So I agree
|
Then the moon breaks
|
She takes the corner that's all she takes
|Bm |
She moves on
| | |Em |
She says "Ooh my storybook lover
| |
You have underestimated my power
|Bm |
As you shortly will discover"
| |
Then I fall to my knees
| |
I grow weak, I go slack
| |
As if she captured the breath of my
voice in a bottle
| |
And I can't catch it back
|
But I feel good
|
It's a fine day
| |
The way the sun hits off the runway
|
A cloud shifts
|
The plane lifts
|Bm | |
She moves on
Repeat and fade:
Bm |
Dit-di-lidle-la
|Em | | | | | |
Dit-di-lidle-la, ooh, ooh
|
