A Song For You


I've been so many places in my life and time
 -6  -6   6  6 -5 -5 -3   3 -2  3   -3  -3

I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhymes
 -6   7  -6 -6  -5  -5     -3   3    -2  -3   -1

I've acted out my love on stages
 -5 -6 -5  -6  -5  -6  -5  7  -7

With ten thousand people watching, whoa
 -5  -6   -6  -5   7 -6   -6  5   -3 3 -2

But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
 -1  -2   3 -3   5   5  -5  -3  3    -2   -2  -2  1


I know your image of me is what I hope to be
-6 -6   6   6  -5 -5 -3 -3  3  -2  3   4  -3

I treated you unkindly, but honey can't you see
-6  7 -6  -6  -5 -5 -6  -3   3 -2  -3   -1  -1

There's no one more important to me
  -5    -6 -5  -6   -5  7 -6  -6  5

Darling can't you please see through me, whoa
 -6  -5  -6   -5    7    -6    -6    5  -3 3 -2

'Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
  -1    -2    3 -3  5   5  -5  -3  3    -2   -2  -2  1


You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholding nothing
-6    7    -6  -5   5  -5  -6   7 -6 -7 7 -6  -5  -6  -3  3  -2

You came out in front and I was hiding
-2   -2  -2   3  -3   -3  4  4   3 -3

But now, I'm so much better, and if my words don't come together
-6   7   -6  -5  5   -5 -6   -6  -7  7  -6    -6    -5  -3  3 -2

Listen to the melody, 'cause my love's in there hiding
-5  -6 -6 -5  7 -5 -5    5  -5  7* 7 -6 -6  -5  -5  5


(-7* -7  7 -6   6 -5  5* -3*  -3  3 -2  2  -5  5* -3* -3)


I love you in a place where there's no space and time
-6 -6   6  6 -5 -6 -5  -3     3     -2   3   -3   -3

I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine
-6  7  -6  -6  -5  -5   -3   3 -2  -3    -2  -1

And when my life is over,  remember when we were together
-5   -6  -5   7  -6 -6  5  -5 -6 -5  -6  -5   7  -6 -6  5

We were alone and I was singing this song to you
-1  -2   3 -3  5  5 -5   -3  3   -2   -2  -2  1

We were alone and I was singing this song to you
-1  -2   3 -3  5  5 -5   -3  3   -2   -2  -2  1

'Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song
  -1    -2    3 -3  5  -5  -6   -3  3   -2   -2

Singing this song to you
-3  3    -2   -2  -1  -2
