D
Hey little woman
        G                            D
You're just what I was lookin' for today
D
I needed someone
            G                             D
And you're just what I was lookin' for today

A#
Good things seem to happen to you
  C                   G
When you just happen to
       D
Run across them in life
    A#
But if you wait too long you know that
  C                     G
When you turn around you
               D
Find you have lost them in life

D
The sun may have to shine
         G                           D
But the visions in my eyes were painted grey
 D
Now listen silver lining
        G                             D
You're just what I was lookin' for today

D
We could drift away together
Where you and I could be alone

D
Nothing that is real applies
Neath the nothing matter skies
We could drift away and build a world of our own

D
Hey little woman
        G                             D
You're just what I was lookin' for today
