Something in the Way She Moves

James Taylor

 
[Verse 1]
 

        C                Gm      C
There’s something in the way she moves
Gm           F       A#       C
 Or looks my way, or calls my name
     Gm                   A#       D#      F
That seems to leave this  troubled world behind
C              Gm       C
If I’m feeling down and blue
Gm           F       A#      C
 Or troubled by some foolish game
    Gm                 A#      D#        C
She always seems to    make me change my mind
 
 
{ CHORUS }
 
           C       Gm   F      C
And I feel fine anytime she’s around me now
      Am            Dm
She’s around me now
       Dm
Almost all the time

           C            Gm        F          C
And if I’m well you can tell that she’s been with me now
               Am          Dm
And she’s been with me now
        Dm
Quite a long, long time
           C   A#  F   C
And I feel fine
 
 
[Bridge]
 
F              D#                A#      D#         F
 Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning
      A#     D#     F
And I find myself careening
     D#             A#                Gm   C
Into places where I should not let me go
F           D#                A#     D#      F
She has the power to go where no one else can find me
         A#   D#      F
Yes, and silently  remind me
       A#    D#      F                 Dm
Of the happiness and good times that I know,
       Dm
Well I said I just got to know that
 
 
[Verse 2]
   C                Gm     C
It isn’t what she’s got to say
Gm          F         A#          C
 Or how she thinks or where she’s been
   Gm                  A#        D#       F
To me, the words are   nice, the way they sound
  C                 Gm        C
I like to hear them best that way
Gm               F      A#        C
 It doesn’t much matter what they mean
    Gm               A#      D#      C
She says them mostly just to calm me down
 
 
{ CHORUS }
 
           C       Gm   F      C
And I feel fine anytime she’s around me now
      Am            Dm
She’s around me now
       Dm
Almost all the time
           C            Gm        F          C
And if I’m well you can tell that she’s been with me now
               Am          Dm
And she’s been with me now
        Dm
Quite a long ,long ,time
                C        A#   F     C
Yes, and I feel fine
