[Intro]
D G
x4
[Verse]
D G G A D
I'm hanging on to my peace of mind
D G G A D
I just don't know
D G G A D
I'm hanging on to those good times, baby
D G G A D
Just wanna let them roll
D G G A D
I'm gonna make it to the light and joy
D G G A D
I'll tell you why
D G G A D
I got a woman who can take me there
D G
The apple of my eye
E7 A G
Oh-oh, I just don't know, no no, no
E7 A G A
No-o, I love her so
[Verse]
D G G A D
Don't let me see that morning paper
D G G A D
'Cause I don't need those dues
D G G A D
It's just the same old murder movie
D G
But they call it "the news"
D G
I'll tell you what would be some story
D G
And what would set me free
D G
Is if the same thing happened to everybody
D G
That just happened to me
E7 A G
Oh-oh, I just don't know, no, no, no, no
E7 A G Bm
No-o, I'll never let her go, no, no, no
[Bridge]
Bm D
Every time I hear somebody sneakin' up behind
E
Whoa, I turn around
But I still hear that sound
A G A Bm
And just when I'm about to lose my mind
N.C.
Here comes my baby
[Chorus]
D
Singing like a nightingale
Bm Bb F
Coming my way down along that devastation trail
C
Well tell the Lord above
G
She's got a brand of love
D
That cannot fail
[Interlude]

[Verse]
D G G A D
I'm hanging on to my peace of mind
D G G A D
That's no lie
D G G A D
I'm hanging on to my special friend
D G
The apple of my eye
D G
The apple of my eye
D G
My inspiration, too
D G
She's got a lead on my heart and my soul
D G
And she knows just what to do
E7 A G
Oh-oh, I just don't know, no, no, no, no
E7 A G E
No-oh, I get so low
A Bb
And my mind's about to go
Bm
But wait a minute
N.C.
Here comes my baby
[Chorus]
D
Singing like a nightingale
Bm Bb F
Coming my way down along that devastation trail
C
Well, let the fires burn
G
And let the floods return
D
We will prevail
