    GCause (320003@1)songs are made of air, they can't be any use to her, better off trying to

D (xx0232@1)                                     G (320003@1)

D (xx0232@1)                               G (320003@1)                 DWhile (xx0232@1)she was still speaking, towards his feet he's reaching, where lay his guitar.

     GI'm (320003@1)going to build a song for us with four verses and a chorus, on real estate your

 A (x02220@1)      D (xx0232@1)                                             G (320003@1) 
       D (xx0232@1)        Gwords (320003@1)inspired. And there we'll live rent free, sleep on beds of melody as the stars

                          A (x02220@1)     Dand (xx0232@1)the planets and the clock do laps.

            GAnd (320003@1)so that song he built was hers, with a chorus and four verse, and she woke to
