Chords for Nina Simone: For A While

Lost [Gb] from day to day, [Ebm] _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ so I turn another [Ab] way
[Db] With _ [Gb] a [Db] laugh, [Ebm] a kind hello, _ _ _ [Abm] some small talk _ _
[Db] With a few friends that I know, _ [Ebm] I forget
_ _ I'm [Ab] not over you [Db] for [Gb] a while
_ [Abm] _ [Bbm] This song is dedicated to my [Abm] lover who's gone from me
From Liberia, West [Ab] Africa
A weak and easy [Ebm] grin, _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ and a smile [Ab] to put them in
[Db] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Db] With so many other [Ebm] lies to listen to
_ [Abm] And some music that [Gb] I've got to do
_ [Bb]
I [Ebm] forget I'm [Abm] not over you [Db] for _ [Gb] a while
[Abm] _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [B]
Days [Bbm] go by with [Abm] no [Ab] empty feeling
[Db]
When _ I work and [Gb] work and work, I [Ab] forget _
[B] Until I go [Bbm] home and [Ebm] touch my hair and feel my [Abm] skin
I remember _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ [Db] _ people [Ebm] say to me, _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
you need company
_ [Db] _ _
[Gb] When you have [Db] some [Ebm] time to spend, _ _ _ [Abm] drop around
When _ _
[Ab] you need a friend, [Db] _ _ _ [Ebm] they forget
_ _ I'm [Abm] not over you [Db] for _ [Ebm] a while
[Db] I _ _ [B] _
_ [Gb] _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ [Gb] can't [Db] go on _ [Ebm] without you
_ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Gb] _ Your love [B] is [Ab] all I'm living for
I _ [Gb] _
know [Db] forever _ _ [Ebm] betrays _ me
_ _ [B] _ _ _ I love [Gb] you, Sissy, _ _ [Ab] I love you, _
[Db] _ _ _ [B] I do _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ [Db] _
