Pete Atkin & Clive James - The Way You Are With Me


	THE WAY YOU ARE WITH ME *Lyric by Clive James, music by Pete Atkin* from the CD album The Colours of the Night.
	Let's spend the evening with the ocean And watch the surf go mad beneath the moon And in view of that commotion Remember I'll be back here very soon I just never had a notion That such an easy time could ever be Is it just the way you are? Is it just the way you are? Or is it just the way you are with me? I won't be gone forever Next time the full moon is shining on the sea I'll be here, and you will never Believe someone could cherish you like me I'm not trying to be clever But it's destiny, there's nothing you can do And it's not the way I am It's not the way I am It's just the way I am with you Listen to the breakers The movers and the shakers Watch the way the gulls fly through the light Out of the dark night So we didn't sleep a minute And now the early morning burns away And I'd rather not be in it I do not want to know about today No I can't bear to begin it My journey to the far side of the sea Is it just the way you are? Is it just the way you are? Or is it just the way you are with me? Is it just the way you are? Is it just the way you are? Or is it just the way you are with me?	‖ G ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| G ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| G ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| \| D ⁄ B7 ⁄ \| Em ⁄ ⁄ B7 \| \| F ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| Em ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| \| Eb ⁄ Cm ⁄ \| Am ⁄ D7 ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| G ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| \| D ⁄ B7 ⁄ \| Em ⁄ G7 ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ D ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ D ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ D D11 \| G ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| G ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| \| D ⁄ B7 ⁄ \| Em ⁄ ⁄ B7 \| \| F ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| Em ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| \| Eb ⁄ Cm ⁄ \| Am ⁄ D7 ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| G ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| \| D ⁄ B7 ⁄ \| Em ⁄ G7 ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ D ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ D ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ D D11 \| G ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| \| Em/F ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| Em ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| \| A ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| C Bm Am Bm \| \| C ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| Am7 ⁄ Bm7 ⁄ \| \| E ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| \| ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| G ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| \| D ⁄ B7 ⁄ \| Em ⁄ ⁄ B7 \| \| F ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| Em ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| \| Eb ⁄ Cm ⁄ \| Am ⁄ D7 ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| G ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| \| D ⁄ B7 ⁄ \| Em ⁄ G7 ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ D ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ D ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ D D11 \| G ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ D ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ D ⁄ \| \| C ⁄ D D11 \| G ‖
	Pete Atkin notes: In the middle 8, that Em/F is a (grabbed) F shape on the bottom three strings only, with the top three strings left open. And the C there is best (i.e. easiest) if it's a Cmaj7 played at the 8th fret, followed by the minor sevenths on the 7th and 5th frets, building to the big open E. Also, that B7 (the one on 'mad' and 'shining' and 'morning') should properly be B7♭9, at least on its first beat, mainly because the melody hits that C natural quite markedly. That is what I play on piano, although I do (out of laziness) just play a regular B7 on guitar and let the vocal 'make' the chord.
