                (I don't...) 

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


C#m     A           E       B  
I will write you a song  
C#m                A            E             B  
That's how you'll know that my love is still strong  
C#m     A          E       B  
I will write you a song  
           F#m             A           E            B           E  
And you'll know from this song that I just can't go on without you  


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


C#m     A           E       B  
I will write you a song  
C#m                A            E             B  
That's how you'll know that my love is still strong  
C#m     A          E       B  
I will write you a song  
           F#m             A           E            B           A  
And you'll know from this song that I just can't go on without you 


                E        B                             A  
Now that it's out on the table (it's out on the table)  
             E       B                     A  
Both of us knew all along (knew all along)  
               E            B             C#m  
I've got your love and then you've got my song

        A                           E           C#m  
I can't say where we'll go, but the one thing I know  
    F#m                      B  
Is how to be a good man to you

Until I die that's what I'll do
