Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x2

Verse 1

I wanted to write you a song

A song you could sing forever

And I want it to rhyme

And to bend phrase and time

Into something clever

But you deserve something better

Chorus

If I could make all the mountains

Spell your name

And all the old streetcars

dance in the rain

And promise to hold you

For all my days

It wouldn’t be enough

To show you my love (intro x1)

Verse 2

I wanted to write you a verse

Of all of the things that I love in you

Of your beautiful smile

And the truth in your eyes

And the way you always knew

That you deserved something better

Chorus x1

(Then)

(Then)

Bridge

And when Im ugly

I know you love me

And you know all of me

And I wouldnt wish that on anyone

Chorus x1
