Tift Merritt - Something To Me Chords

INTRO: G
 
Oh, the song I love the best's, the one my father taught to me
                  Bm
The kindness of a stranger is dust from an unseen wing
       C                            G
But an old friend at my table is by far the finest thing
           Am                 D
This tired mile could give to me


        G
Oh, the colours of the man I love are deepest blue and green
       Bm
And it isn't very often that I say just what I mean
           C                                  G
'Cause the feeling seems to scatter and these words fall in between
           Am                      D
For what I miss I'll just tell you this


CHORUS:
                  C
It's something to me
            G       D
It's something to me__
  Em                 G                 C
I don't know what it comes to and it's not so much to see
               G                 D
But you take tomorrow so long as you know
                  C
It's something to me
                  G
It's something to me



Gentle is the road within me and it's gently I depart
             Bm
'Cause these well-worn threads of daylight will sometimes come apart
       C                               G
Giving way to all the shadows where no one can hear your heart
                Am                        D
So, down in the dark, if that's where you are


CHORUS:
                  C
It's something to me
            G       D
It's something to me__
  Em                 G                 C
I don't know what it comes to and it's not so much to see
               G                 D
But you take tomorrow so long as you know
                  C
It's something to me
                  G
It's something to me


INSTRUMENTAL: G       Bm   C   G   Am  D


        G
Now the tender hands of morning have given up a new sunrise
       Bm
And we all get up together in our ordinary lives
      C                            G
Going one step for another, giving up has crossed my mind
            Am                        D
I'll take a long day, come 'round the right way


CHORUS:
                  C
It's something to me
            G       D
It's something to me__
  Em                 G                 C
I don't know what it comes to and it's not so much to see
               G                 D
But you take tomorrow so long as you know
                  C
It's something to me
                  G
It's something to me
                             D
You take tomorrow so long as you know
                  C
It's something to me
                  G
It's something to me
