Capo third

G5 E5 D5 C5

D5                                            E5
I wanted to write you something dignified and pretty
D5                                          E5
With a good structure, maybe a little bit witty
E5                                D5
 I?d love perfect metaphors and imagery
D5                                    E5
But those things don't come easily to me

         G5                       E5
Not like you, your face fills my mind
                 C5                         D5
But not all the time, I have other things I need
            G5                     E5      
Because it's time to work and I know you do
                  C5             D5
You intend to succeed, I am pleased

G5 E5 D5 C5

D5                  E5
Some nights I don?t sleep til way past 4
D5                        E5
And it?s bugging me for sure
E5                        D5
So this is what I do I write a love song
            E5
That doesn?t love

      G5                  E5
Not like you, your face fills my mind
            C5            D5
But not all the time, I have other things I need
G5                  E5      
Because it's time to work and I know you do
C5            D5
You intend to succeed, I am pleased

E5                        G5
Hold my hand one last time
D5
Tell me it?ll be okay
C5
Tell me it?ll be okay
E5                        G5
Call out one last time
D5
I promise it?s okay
C5
I promise it?s okay

      G5            E5
Not like me, my heart is gone
      C5            D5
I put the last part in this song
      G5            E5
And you?ll move on with every dawn 
      C5            D5
While I am here and disappear
      G5            E5 
But that?s my choice, I?ve never said
      C5            D5
But I am much better off instead
      G5                  E5
Not like you, you have this song now
            C5            D5
It?s yours to keep, I have other things I need
G5                  E5      
Because it's time to work and I know you do
C5            D5
You intend to succeed, I am pleased
