                (I don't...) 

      E5                      B5  
I don't know how to make lots of money  
         E5                    B5  
I got debts that I'm trying to pay  
        A5                         E5           C#5  
I can't buy you nice things, like big diamond rings  
      F#5                      B5  
But that don't mean much anyway  
         E5                             B5  
I can't give you the house you've been dreaming  
      E5                      B5  
If I could I would build it alone  
       A5                       E5         C#5  
I'd be out there all day, just hammering away  
F#5                     B5  
To make us a place of our own  


C#5     A5           E5       B5  
I will write you a song  
C#5                A5            E5             B5  
That's how you'll know that my love is still strong  
C#5     A5          E5       B5  
I will write you a song  
           F#5             A5           E5            B5           E5  
And you'll know from this song that I just can't go on without you  


         E5                        B5  
I don't know that I'd make a good soldier  
         E5                          B5  
I don't believe in being violent and cruel  
        A5                          E5          C#5  
I don't know how to fight, but I'll draw blood tonight  
    F#5                    B5  
If somebody tries hurting you  


C#5     A5           E5       B5  
I will write you a song  
C#5                A5            E5             B5  
That's how you'll know that my love is still strong  
C#5     A5          E5       B5  
I will write you a song  
           F#5             A5           E5            B5           A5  
And you'll know from this song that I just can't go on without you 


                E5        B5                             A5  
Now that it's out on the table (it's out on the table)  
             E5       B5                     A5  
Both of us knew all along (knew all along)  
               E5            B5             C#5  
I've got your love and then you've got my song  

SOLO: 
A5 E5 B5 - C#5 A5 E5 B5  2x - A5 E5  

        E5                        B5  
I don't know how to make lots of money  
        E5                           B5  
I don't know all the right things to do  
        A5                           E5           C#5  
I can't say where we'll go, but the one thing I know  
    F#5                      B5  
Is how to be a good man to you  
    F#5                        B5 (strong)  
Until I die that's what I'll do  


C#5     A5           E5         B5  
I will write you a song  
C#5                A5            E5              B5  
That's how you'll know that my love is still strong  
C#5      A5          E5         B5  
I will write you a song  
            F#5            A5           E5            B5 (strong)  
And you'll know from this song that I just can't go on without...  
C#5      A5          E5          B5  
I will write you a song (I will write you a song)  
C#5                A5            E5             B5  
That's how you'll know that my love is still strong (love is still strong)

I will write you a song  
            F#5            A5            E5            B5          E5  
And you'll know from this song that I just can't go on without you
