A song for you
A Song For You
[Am] [E7] [F#m7-5]
I've been so many places in my life and time, I've sung a lot of songs,
I've made some bad rhyme,
[F] [Em7] [Dm7] [Em7]
I've acted out my life in stages, with ten thousand people watching,
[Dm7] [Em7] [F] [C]
but we're alone now, and I'm singing this song for you.
[Am] [E7]
I know your image of me is what I hope to be,
[C] [F#m7-5] [F]
I treated you unkindly, but darling can't you see, there's no one more
[Em7] [Dm7] [Em7]
important to me, baby can't you please see through me,
[Dm7] [Em7] [F] [C]
cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you.
[Am] [E7] [C] [F#m7-5]
You taught me precious secrets of the truth with holding nothing,
[F] [G] [C]
you came out in front when I was hiding,
[Em7] [Am] [E7] [C]
But now I'm so much better, and if my words don’t come
[F#m7-5] [F] [Em7] [Dm7]
together, listen to the melody, cause my love is in
[G7]
there hiding.
[Am] [E7]
I love you in a place where there's no space or time,
[C] [F#m7-5]
I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine,
[F] [Em7]
and when my life is over,
[Dm7] [Em7]
remember when we were together,
[Dm7] [Em7] [F] [C]
we were alone and I was singing this song for you.
