A Song For You by Donny Hathaway
         
Am                       E
I've been so many places in my life and time
C                         Am/F# 202210                
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
F                        Em           Dm                  Em
I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching
Dm          Em 
But we're alone now
        F                     C
And I'm singing this song for you

Am                      E
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
C                      Am/F#
I treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
F                             Em
There's no one more important to me
Dm                    Em
Baby can't you please see through me
Dm            Em
Cause we're alone now 
        F                     C
And I'm singing this song for you

Am                     E
You taught me precious secrets of the
C                  Am/F#
Truth, withholding nothing
F               G                C
You came out in front when I was hiding
Em   Am             E          
But now I'm so much better and if
C                   Am/F#
My words don't come together
F             Em               Dm              G
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

Am                          E
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
C                      Am/F#          
I love you for my life you're a friend of mine
F                   Em
And when my life is over
Dm                    Em       Dm         Em
Remebmer when we were together we were alone
          F                     C
And I was singing this song for you

Dm      Em               F                    C
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
