Tom: F#m
F#m
The first words that come out
A
And I can see this song will be about you
E
I can't believe that I can breathe without you
Bm
But all I need to do is carry on
F#m
The next line I write down
A
And there's a tear that falls between the pages
E
I know that pain's supposed to heal in stages
Bm
But it depends which one it's standing on
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F#m A
I write lines down, then rip them up
Bm D
Describing love can't be this tough
[Chorus]
A E
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
F#m D
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
A E
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
F#m D
Play it for the world, but it won't mean much
D F#m
Unless I sing this song to you
[Verse 2]
I'm dying to show you
This could end happily ever after
There doesn't ever have to be disaster
And all you have to do is sing along
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I write lines down, then rip them up
Impossible describing love
[Chorus]
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
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
[Post-Chorus]
A E
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
F#m D
I could set this song on fire
[Bridge]
A E
Light this old guitar on fire, I'd still hear the notes
F#m D
Drown the melody in water, I'd still hear its ghost
A E
Sing it with somebody else, but we'd be out of tune
F#m D
Play it for the world, but it won't mean much
[Chorus]
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
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
[Outro]
A E
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
F#m D
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
I could set this, I could set this
I wanna sing this song to you
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
I could set this, I could set this
