Lately- Stevie Wonder
 
 
[1st verse]
 
C                                Am7
Lately I have had this strangest feeling, 
Dm7                            G
With no vivid reasons here to find. 
Dm7                Am7               Dm7               G       C
Yet the thought of losing you's been hanging, round my mind... 
C                                   Am7
Far more frequently you're wearing perfume, 
Dm7                                G
With you say, "No special place to go" 
Dm7                 Am7           Dm7
But when I ask will you be coming back soon, 
G          C           C/Bb
 You don't know, never know. 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      F
Well, I'm a man of many wishes,  
  Fm
I hope my premonition misses, 
    Em                     A7sus             A7
but what I really feel, my eyes won't let me hide, 
           Dm7 Em7 Fm7   G  C
cause they alw-ays start to cry. 
           Dm7  Em7   Fm7  G   C
Cause this time could mean goodbye. 
 
 
[2nd Verse]
 
C                               Am7
Lately I've been staring in the mirror, 
Dm7                     G
very slowly picking me apart. 
Dm7               Am7           Dm7               G      C
Tryin' to tell myself I have no reason, with your heart. 
C                                    Am7
Just the other night while you were sleeping, 
   Dm7                                G
I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name. 
    Dm7            Am7                    Dm7
But when I ask you of the thoughts you're keeping, 
G         C             C/Bb
 you just say, nothing's changed.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      F
Well, I'm a man of many wishes,  
  Fm
I hope my premonition misses, 
    Em                     A7sus             A7
but what I really feel, my eyes won't let me hide, 
           Dm7 Em7 Fm7   G  C
cause they alw-ays start to cry. 
           Dm7  Em7   Fm7  Gm7 G#maj7  Bbm7
Cause this time could mean goodbye,    
    Cm7   F7
goodbye 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
      Bb
Well, I'm a man of many wishes,  
  Bbm
I hope my premonition misses, 
    Am7                    D2                D
but what I really feel, my eyes won't let me hide, 
           Gm Am7  Bbm7  C  F    D2
cause they al-ways start to cry. 
           Gm   Am7   Bbm7        C        F
Cause this time could mean goo-oo-oo-oo-oodbye.

I like this version because you can pick out melody notes and make it instrumental
