Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

F# minorF#m
The first words that come out
Asus2Asus2
And I can see this song will be about you
E MajorE
I can’t believe that I can breathe without you

I write lines down, then rip them up
B minorBm 
D MajorD
Describing love can’t be this tough

I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
F# minorF#m D MajorD
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
Asus2Asus2 E MajorE
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon

Play it for the world, but it won’t mean much
Unless I sing this song to you
F# minorF#m Asus2Asus2 E MajorE B minorBm
