Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I wanted to write you something dignified and pretty

With a good structure, maybe a little bit witty

I’d love perfect metaphors and imagery

But those things don't come easily to me

 Not like you, your face fills my mind

 But not all the time, I have other things I need

 Because it's time to work and I know you do

 You intend to succeed, I am pleased

Some nights I don’t sleep til way past 4

And it’s bugging me for sure

So this is what I do I write a love song

 That doesn’t love

 Not like you, your face fills my mind

 But not all the time, I have other things I need

Because it's time to work and I know you do

You intend to succeed, I am pleased

Hold my hand one last time

Tell me it’ll be okay

Tell me it’ll be okay

Call out one last time

I promise it’s okay

I promise it’s okay

 Not like me, my heart is gone

 I put the last part in this song

 And you’ll move on with every dawn

 While I am here and disappear

 But that’s my choice, I’ve never said

 But I am much better off instead

 Not like you, you have this song now

 It’s yours to keep, I have other things I need

Because it's time to work and I know you do

You intend to succeed, I am pleased
