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.

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

[Dm7]    [Em7]                [F]                            [C]
We were alone and I was singing this song  for you
