           Dm
An act of kindness
             A#      Dm
Is what you show to me
     A#
Not more than I can take
         Gm              C
Oh, not more than I can take
Dm                    A#    Dm
Kindness is what you show to me
    A#              Dm
It holds me 'till I ache
     A#                 C
Overflow and start to break
   A#                          Dm          C
Oh I, got a feeling this will shake me down
   A#                          Dm          C
Oh I, kind of hoping this will turn me round

Chorus:
                      Dm
And now it follows me every day
                      A#
And now it follows me every day
                      Gm
And now it follows me every day
                      A#                    C
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day
                      Dm
And now it follows me every day
                      A#
And now it follows me every day
                      Gm
And now it follows me every day
                      A#                    C
And now it follows me every day, every day, every day

An act of kindness
Is what you showed to me
It caught me by surprise in this town of glass and ice
Kindness, so many people passed me by
But you warmed me to my core, and you left me wanting more

Oh I got a feeling this'll shake me down
Oh I'm kind of hoping this'll turn me round
Oh I got a feeling that however small
Oh I'm kind of hoping this will reach my soul

Chorus

Dm
Back's up against the wall
       A#
I feel guilty, I feel guilty
        Gm
And you want nothing in return
        A#             C
I feel guilty, I feel guilty
Dm
Back's up against the wall
        A#
I feel guilty, I feel guilty
        Gm
And you want nothing in return
        A#             C
I feel guilty, I feel guilty

Chorus

(Now it follows me everyday)

Oh, my back's up against the wall
I feel guilty, I feel guilty
And you want nothing in return
I feel guilty, I feel guilty
