SOFT BUT STRONG

(Am)      C9
Oh why must I live so much
Of my life when I am young

(F)      Am9
For already in my dreams
I see faces that are gone

(chorus)(Dm9)
But somehow I'll keep on smiling
           F9                     Bb
Do my best at fate beguiling
         C                      E7                          Am
For I know what separates most right from wrong
             Dm                       F                   C9
And rewards come to those who are soft but strong

They all watch my sunny face
And blue eyes glowing bright 

But inside I sometimes feel 
Shadows creeping in the night

(chorus repeats)

Now you've landed in my life
 Like a shiny metal plane 
That will fly me high above 
All my sorrow and my pain

(chorus repeats)

And I see your crazy eyes
But I do know there inside
Is a soul that loves me so
That will always be my guide

(chorus repeats)

In your mind I see you've built 
A crystal palace high 
But you've lived there all alone 
Until I came walking by

(chorus repeats)
