Intro: G - D - Cadd2 (2x)

Verse 1:

G Cadd2
Kelly is raising her son
G Cadd2
His dad left just after the birth
G Cadd2
Now she's living on child support checks
Em7 Cadd2
I guess that's all that man was worth

G Cadd2
She said I just need a man who will love me
G Cadd2
But they all just want one night of sin
G Cadd2
I know our life could be better
Em7 Cadd2 D
I just don't know where I should begin

Chorus:
G D Cadd2
She said write me a song
G D/F# Cadd2
One that makes all the girls cry
D/F# G
And the old women swoon
D/F# Cadd2
At the sound of my tune
Em7 A
And the hearts of the lonely will fly
Cadd2-D G
Yeah, they'll fly

Verse 2:

G Cadd2
Beth, she sings straight from the heart
G Cadd2
She's hidden her tracks very well
G Cadd2
But these days she's falling apart
Em7 Cadd2
And it makes me feel just like hell

G Cadd2
She says, boy, you can't imagine my life
G Cadd2
The death and the drugs and the pain
G Cadd2
And though I keep running
Em7 Cadd2
I just can't seem to break from these chains

Chorus 2:

G D Cadd2
She said write me a song
G D/F# Cadd2
Fill it all up with good words
D/F# G
Like brilliant and heavenly
D/F# Cadd2
Make it sound just like me
Em7 A
Just like the first time I love you was heard

(Chorus 1)

Bridge:

Am Em7
We're all feeding our lonely
Am Em7
Like it might go away
Am Em7
The doors of heaven swing wide
D G
If we just find the right words to say

(Chorus 2)

(Chorus 1)

G D Cadd2
She said write me a song (Repeat until fade)
