Verse 1:
      D              G                  D
I’ve had these melodies and chords for quite a while
      D              G          F#m     B7
With nonsense lyrics to imply a certain style
      Em7              A7             D        D/C#        Bm7      Bm7/A
Do I lack the whip of discipline, to find the words worth listening to?
           Em7   Edim7     D  Dsus4  D
I’ll just sing a song for you

Verse 2:
        D              G               D
Why do people tend to equate angst to honesty
        D               G                 F#m  B7
Should real art always come from plain anxiety?
   Em7            A7               D      D/C#   Bm7      Bm7/A
I rather sing of simple joys like love between a girl and boy
      Em7   Edim7     D  Dsus4  D   Dsus2
So I sing a song for you

Chorus:
F#m                          G                                 D
And in the morning when she wakes up in my arms she’s looking fine
Dsus4          D Dsus4 D Dsus2
So glad she’s mine
F#m                          G
And in the evening when the stars are in the sky
            D        C        Bm7
I know that I could share my life
            E           E7
To live as man and wife
           A       A/G  A/F#  A/E
Until the day she dies

Verse 3:
      D              G              D
Do I have to grow a beard in order to get heard?
     D               G              F#m      B7
Did Vincent cut his ear to make his painting work?
       Em7               A7                 D       D/C#      Bm7   Bm7/A
Shiny pearls before the swine, Rhinestones gathered from the Rhine
      Em7   Edim7     D  Dsus4  D
So I sing a song for you

Break:
D   G   D   D   G   F#m   B7

F#m                          G                                 D
And in the morning when she wakes up in my arms she’s looking fine
Dsus4          D Dsus4 D Dsus2
So glad she’s mine
F#m                          G
And in the evening when the stars are in the sky
            D        C        Bm7
I know that I could share my life
            E           E7
To live as man and wife
           A       A/G  A/F#  A/E
Until the day she dies

Verse 4:
          D                         G          D
Now I’ve shaped these thoughts and melodies into a song
      D             G              F#m      B7
We’re in the final verse so now we can’t go wrong
       Em7              A7            D        D/C#   Bm7     Bm7/A
And I really hope that you agree, it certainly makes sense to me
        Em7   Edim7     D     Bm7
I just sing a song for you - yeah!
   Em7   Bb       D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4 D  Dsus4  Dmaj7
I sing a song for you
