   C
a sandman comes to my house late each night
         Dm                    F
But it's way in the morning before
                 C
he turns out my light
      C
It's times like this, my darling, I could see
   Dm               F          C
If I were you I'd know that I love me

The great snowman I've been called by all
But it looks like this time I'm gonna fall
It's times like this, my darling, I can see
Ooh, if I were you I'd know that I love me

G                               F      C
Wind and rain and storm closin' in on me

      G                                     F     C
I've walked the streets alone with my self sympathy
C
Can you hear me saying hopefully
        Dm               F          C
Ooh, if I were you I'd know that I love me

Ooh, if I were you I'd know that I love me
If I were you I'd know that I love me
