I'm Not There Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]Thing's all right and she's all too tight
In [G]my neighborhood she cries
[Bm]both day and night
I know it [A]because I was there

[Verse 2]
[A]
It's a milestone but she's
[G]down on her luck
And she's [Bm]daily so lonely but
to [A]make hard earned buck

[Verse 3]
I remain
[A]
I be[D]lieve where she's stoppin'
if [A]she [F#m]wants time to care
[A]I bel[G]ieve that she'd look
upon de[A]ciding [D]to care
And I go [F#m]by the Lord in
a way she's [G]on my way
But I don't [A]be long there

[Verse 4]
[A]
No, I don't belong to her,
I don't be[G]long to anybody
She's [Bm]my prize- forsaken angel
but she don't [A]hear me cry
She's a lone- hearted mystic and
[G]she dain't carry on
When I'm [Bm]there she's alright but when
she's [A]not when I'm gone

[Verse 5]
[A]
Heaven [D]knows that the answer,
she's [A]don't [F#m]calling no one
She's the [G]way, her sailin' beauty
for she's [A]mine [D]for the one
And I lost her hesitating by
[A]tempta[F#m] tion does it runs
But she [G]don't holler me but I'm not [A]there,

[Interlude 1]
I'm gone
[A]

[Verse 6]
Now [A]I'll cry tonight like I
[G]cried the night before
And [Bm]I'm released on the heights in
but I'll [A]dream about the door
It's alone, she's forsaken by her fate,
[G]ways to tell
"It don't [Bm]hang by formation",
she [A]smiled, said "thee well"

[Verse 7]
[A]
Now went [D]out treat the layway I
[A]was [F#m]born to love her
But she [G]knows that the kingdom
waits so [D]high above her
And I run but I race but [A]it's
[F#m]not too fast to slim
But [G]I don't perceive her,
I'm [A]not there, I'm gone

[Interlude 2]
[A]

[Verse 8]
Well, it's [A]all about dead
years'n and I cried for her veil
I don't [G]need anybody now
be[Bm]side me to tell
And it's [A]all affirmation,
I perceive but it's not
She's an [G]old- hearted beauty
but she [Bm]don't like the spot
And she phoned
[A]

[Verse 9]
Yes, she's [D]gone like the rainbow,
[A]the shin[F#m] ing yesterday
But [G]now she's home beside me
and I'd [D]like her here to stay
She's a unforsaken beauty
and [A]it's [F#m]don't trust anyone
I [G]wish I was beside her but I'm [A]not there,

[Interlude 3]
I'm gone
[A]

[Verse 10]
Well, it's a [A]too- hard to stakin'
and I [G]don't bother leave
It's so [Bm]bad for abusing when she's h[A]ard,
too hard to leave
It's unknown, it's a crime,
the way she [G]mauls me around
But she [Bm]told, phoned to hate me,
but it's [A]doomed to make a clown

[Verse 11]
[A]
Yes, I be[D]lieve that it's rightful,
oh, I [F#m]believe it in my mind
I been [G]told like I said when I before,
[D]carry on the grind
And she's all to tole her,
like I [F#m]said, carry on
I wish I [G]was there to help her
but I'm not [A]there, I'm gone

[Outro 1]
[A]
