• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: D

🎸 Verse 1:
N.C.        D                          Em
Wrote you a love song on the back of a Bible
                 G                      D
On the back of a Bible, a love song for you
                                            Em
And I ain't no authority about what it says in it
               G
I can't even begin it
                                          D
Page in the back is blank and waiting for you


🎸 Verse 2:
N.C.       D                        Em
Heard me a sad song on the way to a wedding
                G                    D
On the way to a wedding on the car radio
                                  Em
And I can't remember words to the verses
                   G
But I remember the chorus

🎸 Bridge:
G                                     D
And I can't remember who was marrying who
        G                             D  N.C.
But I'm writing this love song for you

D
And I hate this motel room, they all smell the same
Em7
View of the parking lot etched in my brain
G                                        D
Stuck in this town and you're so far away


🎸 Verse 4:
D
I ain't got no paper, I just got this pen
Em7
Rip out the back page and write you a hymn
G                                      D
Singing it to you again and again and again

Wrote you a love song on the back of a Bible

On the back of a Bible for you
                                 Em7
Ain't no authority about what it says in it

I can't even begin it but I'm writing for you
