    Dm              Am7/C
She waits for me at night
    A#              Am7/C
She waits for me in silence
    Dm               Am7/C
She gives me all her tenderness
Gm        Gm/A A#  C
And takes away my pain
       Dm             Am7/C
And so far she hasn't run
          A#                  Am7/C
Though I swear she's had her moments
     Dm                Am7/C
She still believes in miracles
 Gm           Gm/A   A#
while others cry in vain

Chorus:
                F C/E A#/D
It's all about soul
                F/C                 C/G
It's all about faith and a deeper devotion
                F/A C A#
It's all about soul
                  F/C                 C/G
'Cause under the love is a stronger emotion
                   Dm  G
She's got to be strong
                 C                        F
'Cause so many things getting out of control
                  A#                    F/A
Should drive her away, so why does she stay?
                Asus4/D Dm Asus4/D Dm
It's all about soul

She turns to me sometimes and she asks me
what I'm dreaming
And I realize I must have gone a million
miles away
And I ask her how she knew to reach out
for me at that moment
And she smiles because it's understood
there are no words to say

Chorus:
It's all about soul
It's all about knowing what someone is feeling
The woman's got soul
The power of love and the power of healing
This life isn't fair
It's gonna get dark, it's gonna get cold
You've got to get tough, but that ain't enough
It's all about soul

There are people who have lost every
trace of human kindness
There are many who have fallen,
there are some who still survive
She comes to me at night and
she tells me her desires
And she gives me all the love
I need to keep my faith alive

Chorus:
It's all about soul
It's all about joy that comes out of sorrow
It's all about soul
Who's standing now and who's standing tomorrow
You've got to be hard
Hard as the rock in that old rock 'n roll
But that's only part, you know in your heart
It's all about soul
