A Song for You

I've been so many places in my (G)life and time.

(Cm7)I've sung a lot of songs,

(F)I've made some bad rhyme.

(Ab)I've acted out my life in stages

(Gm7)with ten thousand people watchin'.

(Fm7)But darlin', we're alone

(Ab)and I'm singin' this song for (Eb)you.

(Cm)I know your image of me

(G)is what I hope to be.

(Cm7)I treated you unkindly.

(F)Can't you see

(Ab)there's no more important to me.

(Gm7)So, darlin', won't you please see through me,

(Fm7)'cause darlin' we're alone

and I'm (Ab)singin' this song for

(Eb)you.

(Cm)You taught me (G)precious secrets (Eb)of the truth,

(F7)withholding nothin'.

(Ab)You came out in front.

Well, baby, (Eb)I was hidin'.

(Cm)But now I'm (G)so much better (Eb)with my words (F7)coming together.

(Ab)Listen to the melody 'cause my (Bb)love is in there

(Fm7)hiding.

(Cm)I love you in a place

(G)where there's no space or time.

(Cm7)I love you for my life (F)'cause you the boy next door and a friend of mine.

(Ab)And when my life is over,

(Gm7)remember, remember, remember, remember

(Fm7)we were together

(Ab)and I was singin' this song

for (Eb)you.

(Ab)We were alone

and I was singin' our song

for (Eb)you.
