Intro:

G  C  G


Verse 1:
G                  B7
I can’t put pen to paper
        Am                     C
Without scaring myself off the page
G                B7
Lately I’ve been thinking that
      Am                     C
Maybe I’m not the one to blame
    G
The lies that you’ve told
         B7
They are now fully grown
       Am                             C
Like a script that you’ve written for me
            G
I’ll draw a line in the sand
         B7
I’ll let go of your hand
            Am
Like you’re nothing at all to me

Chorus:
          G
Here’s to every song
     Am
That never made the stage
          G
Here’s to every dream
     Am
That never came my way
          G
Here’s to every lover
     Am
That never gave me his name
G   G/B       Am7
God knows you try
                             G
But you can't take my story away


Verse 2:
G                      B7
I’ve grown so sick and tired
          Am            C
Of always falling to my knees
       G                  B7
When I bowed down to your gospel
      Am                   C
You devoured all my self belief
        G
Now I’m dancing
        B7
Yes I’m screaming
           Am            C
They think I’m losing my mind
    G
But I’ll sing my truth
          B7
Like I’ve nothing lose
   Am
It all feels real to me
                    D
Yes it all feels so real


Chorus:
          G
Here’s to every song
     Am7
That never made the stage
          G
Here’s to every dream
     Am7
That never came my way
          G
Here’s to every lover
     Am7
That never gave me his name
G   G/B       Am7
God knows you try
                             G
But you can't take my story away


Bridge:
  B7                         C
I won’t have you think for a minute that
           C7                          G
I couldn’t stand all the hate that you gave
B7                        Em
But know that there is no limit babe
                                 D
To all the cruel games you tried to play


Verse 3:
          G          B7
I’ll take comfort in knowing that
          Am          C
You won’t trouble me again
          G            B7
There’s a moment after all the hurt
              Am           C
When you finally learn to accept


[Out-Chorus]
          G
Here’s to every song
     Am7
That never made the stage
          G
Here’s to every dream
     Am7
That never came my way
          G
Here’s to every lover
     Am7
That never gave me his name
G   G/B       Am7
God knows you try
G   G/B       Am7
God knows you try
G   G/B       Am7
God knows you try
                             G
But you can't take my story away
