Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x2

Verse 1

I wanted to write you a song

A song you could sing forever

And I want it to rhyme

And to bend phrase and time

 Into something clever

 But you deserve something better

Chorus

 If I could make all the mountains

 Spell your name

 And all the old streetcars

 dance in the rain

 And promise to hold you

 For all my days

 It wouldn’t be enough

 To show you my love (intro x1)

Verse 2

 I wanted to write you a verse

 Of all of the things that I love in you

 Of your beautiful smile

 And the truth in your eyes

 And the way you always knew

 That you deserved something better

Chorus x1

(Then)

(Then)

Bridge

 And when Im ugly

 I know you love me

 And you know all of me

And I wouldnt wish that on anyone

Chorus x1
