E / / / / / (x2)

         
I was lost without a song
            
Without a melody
            
You came into my hotel life
                 
You made my room a home
                                  
Ah now, mama, don't you know what you done

Ah, you made the sunshine in the city
Oh, you warmed my heart
You changed an old man filled with pity
Back to a child again
Ah now, mama, can't you see what you done

So tell me darlin' if the feeling's wrong
Ah, don't waste another day
Lord, the saddest thing I've ever known
Was to watch it die away
                      
Ah now, mama, don't you lie

                                        
Oh, how can my giving find the rhythm and the time
                                   
Of you unless you sing your songs to me
                                        
The smell of your sweet skin does entangle my dreams
                                 
Oh may I stand here awhile living your smile

                                  
Oh, how could you ever know what you've done
                                 
You warmed my heart when I was so all alone
           
But all I have to give
       
Are my dreams
   ()          
Of coming and going forever
()              
Inside the rivers of time
            
You'll find me waiting
                       
For you to find peace in your mind
           
So we can love again

I feel what you feel
            
If you feel what you feel
             
And I see what you see
           
If you see what you see
          
So it goes on and on
           
On it goes, on and on
                
It's my heart and your heart
             
It's our hearts together
           
You sing and I'll bring
             
We'll both love together
                        
And all I know is let it grow
                              
All you'll find is peace of mind

The seventh chords in the last bit are just guesses on my part.
Feel free to take liberties with any part that doesn't sound
right to you.
