Key: E
Introduction: E A
E A
A guitar won't change the world
B E
But there's nights that I feel like it has
A
A singer can't put lonely in a song
B E
Until he's felt lonely like that
C#m B
Callused fingers, a poured out heart
A B
And a dream much harder than you ever thought
A B7
Oh, I don't know why I do what I do
E A
I just know that I'm in right or wrong
B7
Somewhere in these chords lies the truth
A B E
For a guitar, a singer and a song
E A
Well, it's not always gonna rhyme
B E
And sometimes it won't be in tune
A
And the damn thing will keep you up at night
B A B
You think you're singing the song but the song's singing you
A B7
Oh, I don't know why I do what I do
E A
I just know that I'm in right or wrong
B7
Somewhere in these chords lies the truth
A B E
For a guitar, a singer and a song
E A B E
A B E
E A
So I'll write you a thousand songs
B7 E
And I'll play you a thousand shows
A
It'll feel like a thousand years
B7 E
Some will remember me and some won't
E A B7
But I know why I do what I do
E A
Oh and I'm in till the day that I'm gone
B7
And I pray when they speak my name
C#m
That I live on
A B E
Oh, in a guitar, a singer and a song
