She may be the face I can't ■ ■ forget


[Chorus]
           Dm                
A trace of pleasure or regret
          G        Dm                           
May be my treasure ■  or the price I have to pay
F          G        F                
She may be the song that summer sings

[Verse]
       G   C                       
May be the chill that autumn brings
         F       C               
May be a hundred different things
G          F            G   C
Within the measure of a day ■
                      F           
She may be the beauty or the beast
G          C             F    
May be the famine or the feast
C        G    C          F           Em  
May turn each day into a Heaven or a Hell
    G          F         G  F      C
She may be the mirror of my dreams ■
Am                F  Bb      
A smile reflected in a stream
C   Em7     Am                  
She may not be what she may seem
F          Bb7  
Inside her shell
Bb                            Dm        
She who always seems so happy in a crowd


[Chorus]
                             F   G       
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
Dm                                           
■  No one's allowed to see them when they cry
G       F  C G G7     C                        G   
She may be ■ ■ ■  the love that cannot hope to last


[Verse]
C        F  C               F        Em  
May come to me from shadows ■ of the past
G      F                 G   C    
That I remember 'til the day I die
                        F      
She may be the reason I survive
        E7                C    
The why and wherefore I'm alive
        G C         F   G                 F   G     C    
The one ■ I'll care for through the rough and ready years


[Chorus]
   Dm                                  
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears
              G               
And make them all my souvenirs
Dm                      F        
For where she goes I've got to be

            C            
The meaning of my life is
C      
She she
   C  
Oh she
