Verse 
G                     C 
 When the summer days live to bore you, 
D                   G 
 And the river lies long before you, 
G                     C 
 And the one that you love ignores you, 
D7             G 
  I'll be your girl. 

G               C 
 Like a senator works a full room, 
D               G 
 Like a lover undone by full moon, 
G             C 
 Like a lily alive in full bloom, 
D7             G 
  I'll be your girl. 

Bridge 
Em                      C 
  And when the tempests rage, 
                   G             G 
And all the oceans roar, at your door; 
Em                C 
  I could be your man, 
                     D         D7 
But I'd be that much more, and more. 

Verse 
G                   C 
 So when everything soft abrades you, 
D                 G 
 When fortune has long betrayed you, 
G                          C 
 And you're longing for an arm to stay you, 
D7             G 
  I'll be your girl.

Bridge 
Em                      C 
  And when the tempests rage, 
                   G             G 
And all the oceans roar, at your door; 
Em                C 
  I could be your man, 
                     D         D7 
But I'd be that much more, and more. 

 Verse 
G                         C 
So if you're ever feeling less your time due, 
D               G 
 Like someone bereft and lied to, 
G                     C 
 And you never need a guy to guide you, 
D7             G 
  I'll be your girl. 
D7             G 
  I'll be your girl. 
D7             G 
  I'll be your girl.
