     As I sort through this duffel bag stuffed w/ souv'nirs,
          C            C           Bb                 F
        I smile at the treasures acquired through the years:
          F            F             Dm           G
 Here's a World's Fair ashtray and a cap from the zoo,
          Bb      F         C              F
  There's every memento but something from you.

CHORUS:
          C              C		
          Something from you,	
          Bb             F
     your smile, or your touch,	
          F            F
    1,3   seen from  today,
      2   lookin' back now,		
          F              C
    1,3   don' seem like much.
      2   don' look like much.	
          C7             C
          Something from you,	
          Dm         Bb
          sure funny how,		
          Bb          F
          sure coulda used it,	
          C7           F
          then but not now.		

When some scaffolding gave, I was laid up for a while.
       My workmates & family'd drop by with a smile.
      The church sent a basket, an' the union sent two,
    but I sure coulda stood something from you.

CHORUS

     When I was once famous for not screwin' up,
  an' the councilmen gave me a big silver cup,
    an' a sealed proclamation that the mayor read through;
      the only thin' missin' was something from you.

INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS

          Now that we're over, lookin' back now,
    feels like I spent ages weighed down by dark clouds.
  An' the day that they lifted an the sunshine broke through,
  was the day I stopped lookin' for somethin' from you.

CHORUS
