Key: A
Introduction: F#m A Bm D
F#m
The first words that come out
A
And I can see this song will be about you
Bm
I can't believe that I can breathe without you
D
But all I need to do is carry on
F#m
The next line I write down
A
And there's a tear that falls between the pages
Bm
I know that pain's supposed to heal in stages
D
But it depends which one I'm standing on
F#m A
I write lines down, then rip them up
Bm D
Describing love can't be this tough
A E
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
F#m D
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
A E
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
F#m D
Play it for the world, but it won't mean much
Unless I sing this song to you
F#m
I'm dying to show you
A
This could end happily ever after
Bm
There doesn't ever have to be disaster
D
And all you have to do is sing along
F#m A
I write lines down, then rip them up
Bm D
Impossible describing love
A E
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
F#m D
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
A E
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
F#m D
Play it for the world, but it won't mean much
Unless I sing this song to you
A E
I could set this song on fire
Sing this song to you
F#m D
I could set this song on fire
A E
Light this old guitar on fire, I'd still hear the notes
F#m D
Drown the melody in water, I'd still hear it's ghost
A E
Sing it with somebody else, but we'd be out of tune
F#m D
Play it for the world, but it won't mean much
A E
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
F#m D
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
A E
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
F#m D
Play it for the world, but it won't mean much
Unless I sing this song to you
A E
I could set this song on fire
Unless I sing this song to you
F#m D
I could set this, I could set this
I want to sing this song to you
A E
I could set this song on fire
Sing this song to you
F#m D
I could set this, I could set this
