For You

You say you could never write a tune
As pretty as I do
But I love it when you sing to me
Out of the billion other places and faces
We are yet to meet
It's only you where my heart fits in perfectly

I like the sound of pouring rain
My cup of tea that keeps me sane
But I love rain when I'm nestled in your arms
And someday we'll buy a bed for two
Kiss you softly every morning, too
Oh, what I'd give to wake up next to you

                    Em7
There's so much of you I'll never know
         Cadd9
So many treasures I cannot give
              Em7              Cadd9
Lay down with me, recount our memories
               G              D
Does that make up for what we've missed?
         Em7
And I'm terrible at understanding
Cadd9
Time and time again
        Em7~                Cadd9~
But if time was meant to heal us
                   D~
We're filled with vows we're yet to send

Well, I like writing melodies
And humming out a tune
But I love it when I'm writing them for you
D - Cadd9 - G (x2)
      D               Cadd9
With these words left unsaid
             G
We'll write novels in our heads
                D             Cadd9         G
And spill them out once they finally understand
       D               Cadd9
That life is gray and black and blue
      G
But Darling, that's not always true
       D              Cadd9               G
It's never blue when my clothes smell of you
Em7
Shivers down my spine
Cadd9
When eyes lock, hands intertwine
          Em7              Cadd9
Our hearts beat the same old lullaby
            G           D
We're worn out yet so alive
Em7
We're just a bunch of broken souls
Cadd9
We're not quite sure just where to go
      Em7~         Cadd9~
But this time I would know
                 D~
Cause it's your heart that I call home

Well, I like writing melodies
And humming out a tune
But I love it when I'm writing them for you

In four more years you'll leave this town
Make new friends and we'll fall down
But that doesn't mean that I won't stick around
And when we finally say goodbye
Tears will shed, hearts will die
But our love is here to stay and so am I

I know that I'm not perfect
Even though you disagree
And I know there's nothing harder than loving someone like me
But if you still think it's crazy
How you're loved by lil' old me
I'll send all our plans in bottles if it meant you were the sea

    Em7~
And I can't do as much as you
       Cadd9~
Can't write, can't make good art for you
        Em7~               Cadd9~
So, for now I hope this'll do
            G~                 D~
To make you feel my love for you
       Em7~
We're six months down an endless road
       Cadd9~
We've got the rest of our lives to go
Em7~             Cadd9~                 G~
'Till then I'll be waiting through this storm
                 Em7~          Cadd9~               D~
As we promise to laugh and sing and keep each other warm

Well, I like writing melodies
And humming out a tune
But I love it when I'm writing them for you
           D~         Cadd9~        G~
Darling, I hope my melody reaches you...
