Instrumental Melody:

(1,000 diff ways to play this w/ or w/out slide)

InsteaAbd of feelin' F7bad, be glaBb7d you've got soEb7mewhere to go

Instead of feelin' sad, be happy you're not all alone

Instead of feelin' low, get high on everything that you love

Instead of wastin' time, feel good 'bout what you're dreamin' of.

InsteaC7d of tryin' to win somethFing you never understood

Just play the game you know, eventually you'll love her good

It's sBb7illy to pretend that you Eb7have something you don't own

Bb7 Walk up

Just let her be your woman and you'll be her man:

Instead of feelin' broke, buck up and get yourself in the black

Instead of losin' hope, touch up the things that feel out of whack

Instead of bein' old, be young because you know you are

Instead of feelin' cold, let sunshine into your heart.

Instead of acting crazy chasin' things that make you mad

Keep your heart ahead, it'll lead you back to what you have

With every step you're closer to the place you need to be

It's up to you to let her love you sweetly:

Instead of feelin' bad be glad you've got someone to love

Instead of feelin' sad, be happy there's a god above

Instead of feelin' low, remember you're never on your own

Instead of feelin sad, be happy that she's there at home

She's wBb7aitin' forEb7 you by the Abphone

So be gBb7lad that sEb7he is all yoAbur own
