A Song For You chords by The Temptations

Intro: Am Am7+ Am7 Am6 Am7 Am7+ Am E7/9-

     Am        Am7+     Am7      Am6
I've been so many places in my life and time
    C                          Fm5-/7
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
      F           Em7                Dm7         Em7
I've acted out my life in stages, with ten thousand people watching
        Dm7      Em7    F              C  E7
But we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you
     Am      Am7+      Am7      Am6
I  know your image of me is what I hope to be
    C                   Fm5-/7
I've treated you unkindly but baby can't you see
       F                    Em7   Dm7             Em7
There's no one more important to me, baby can't you please see through me,
Dm7         Em7             F            C      E7
'Cause we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you.
     Am7           E7           C        F#m5-/7
You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholdin' nothin'
      F        G6           C
You came out in front and I was hiding
     Em7     Am7   E7      C                   F#m5-/7
But now I'm so much better, and if my words don't come together
            F     Em7  Dm7    G7
Listen to the melody 'cause my love's in there, hiding
  Am           Am7+         Am7        Am6
I   love you in a place where there's no space or time;
   C          F#m5-/7
I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine,
     F       Em7        Dm7            Em7
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
    Dm7   Em7        F        C      E7
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you.
     Am7           E7           C        F#m5-/7
You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholdin' nothin'
      F        G6           C
You came out in front and I was hiding
     Em7     Am7   E7      C                   F#m5-/7
But now I'm so much better, and if my words don't come together
            F     Em7  Dm7    G7
Listen to the melody 'cause my love's in there, hiding
    Dm7         Em7        F        C   E7
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you
    Dm7              Em7     F    G#7       G7     C7M
We were alone and I was singin' this song, singin' this song for you
