She Chords by Elvis Costello

[C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#] _ _
[C#] She may be the face I [E] can't forget,
The trace [Em] of pleasure [F#] or regret,
Maybe my treasure [C#] or the [A#] price I have to [D#m] pay.
She may be the song the [D#] summer sings,
Maybe the chill [C#] the autumn brings,
Maybe a hundred [F#] different things,
[G#] Within the measure [C#] of [F#] a day.
_ [G#] _ [C#] She may be the beauty or [Em] the beast,
Maybe the [F#] famine or the feast,
May turn each [C#] day into a [A#] heaven or a [D#m] hell.
She may be [D#] the mirror [D#] of my dreams,
A smile [C#] reflected in a stream.
She may not be [D#] what she may seem,
[G#] Inside [C#] [F#] a shell.

[C#] _ _ _ _ [A] She always seems so [E] happy in a crowd,
Whose eyes can be so [D] bright or them so proud,
No one's allowed to [C#] see them when they cry.
_ [F#m] She [B] may be the love that cannot [E] hope to last,
[C#] May come to me from [D#] shadows of the past,
That I'll remember till the [G#] day I [C#] die.
She may be the reason [Em] I [E] survive,
The why and wherefore [F#] I'm alive,
The one I'll care [C#] for through the rough [A#] and ready years.
[D#m] Me, I'll take her laughter [D#] and her tears,
And make them all [C#] my souvenirs.
For where she goes, I've [D#] got to be,
[G#] The meaning of my [F#] life is she. _
[C#] She.
_ _ [D#m] _ _ Oh, [C#] she. _ _ _ _ _ _
