Verse: 

C                   Am 
 Just how could I resist  
C             F 
 A kiss that don't exist?  
C            G 
 It's behind me  

C                            Am 
 You're just like shoothing stars  
 C                F 
Hanging round in bars 
         E    G 
Well it bores me 


F        Bb       C 
 If you find yourself  

In need  
F             Bb       C 
 And need a friend to call  
F          Bb 
 Well you know  
C 
 Where I live 
F              G 
 And I'll open up  
      C 
That door 


Verse: 

C                  Am 
 Whatever they may say,  
         C                 F 
There's nothing that can stay  
   C   G 
Behind me 

C                       Am 
 'Cause this is just a gift  
     C 
And you  
           F 
Give me a lift 
     E 
Come on,  
     G 
Surprise me 


F        Bb       C 
 If you want and feel a need to call 
F          Bb      C 
 You will know my name 
F        Bb    C 
  My address hasn't changed at all  
F        G           C 
 And I'm  still the same 


BREAK:
 
F 
(That's all right)  
 G                 
Mmm, That's all right 
Am                      Em G  C 
  That's all right with me-ee 


Verse:
 
C                   Am 
 Nothing's what it seems 
 C             F 
Maybe just a dream 
               C   G 
If you should find me 

C                              Am 
 'Cause I'm hanging around in bars  
        C                F 
With a lot of shooting stars 
          E   G 
And they bore me 


F        Bb        C 
 If you find that you may need a friend 
F         Bb      C 
 You know who to call 
F        Bb        C 
 If you want I'll meet you down the stairs  
F 
 And open  
G       C 
Up the door 


OUTRO:
 
F 
 'Cause that's all right,  
G             C  G 
 (That's all ri-ght) 
F 
 (That's all right)  
G 
 (That's all right)  
F 
 Yeah, that's all right 
G 
 That's all right  
Am                      G  F 
  That's all right with me-ee 

F
