Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

^

^

You might not believe that these words are my own

But I wrote this myself so your mind would be blown

^

If what I felt for you was kept on a boat

There’s not enough water to keep it afloat

^

If every word I wrote made you want to smile

 I’d write a list of words as long as The Nile

^

And never stand so far that I had to shout

 I’d follow you ‘round and won’t shut my mouth

 If you were safe when I held you I’d be satisfied

  ^

With my arms stitched in a coat and you wrapped in inside

 You’d wear me out in the rain and the snow

  ^

But you can’t hang me up ‘cause I won’t let you go

 No I won’t let you go

^

  ^

If you were only happy if I went away

 I’d dig a hole in the moon and inside I’d stay

  ^

But I’d take a pencil and some paper too

 And think of the perfect words to write to you

 I’d take all the lines from your favourite songs

  ^

And write a new favourite and you’d sing along

 Then I’d pencil in your favourite cartoon

  ^

And he’d stand before millions and sing you this tune

 While I’m stuck on the moon

 If you were safe when I held you I’d be satisfied

  ^

With my arms stitched in a coat and you wrapped in inside

 You’d wear me out in the rain and the snow

  ^

But you can’t hang me up ‘cause I won’t let you go

 No I won’t let you go
