A Song For You chords by The Carpenters

Am            E
I've been so many places in my life and time
C             Am/F# 202210
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
F            Em      Dm         Em
I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching
Dm     Em
But we're alone now
    F           C
And I'm singing this song for you

Am           E
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
C           Am/F#
I treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
F               Em
There's no one more important to me
Dm          Em
Baby can't you please see through me
Dm      Em
Cause we're alone now
    F           C
And I'm singing this song for you

Am           E
You taught me precious secrets of the
C         Am/F#
Truth, withholding nothing
F        G        C
You came out in front when I was hiding
Em  Am       E
But now I'm so much better and if
C          Am/F#
My words don't come together
F       Em        Dm       G
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

Am             E
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
C           Am/F#
I love you for my life you're a friend of mine
F          Em
And when my life is over
Dm          Em    Dm     Em
Remebmer when we were together we were alone
     F           C
And I was singing this song for you

Dm   Em        F          C
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
