Verse
G F#m Bm
How they, they make it up
Esus2 D/A G
And it sends in deep elation
F#m Bm
Eventually it could let you down
Esus2 D/A G
By believing in standing ovation
F#m Bm Esus2 D/A G
Song won’t lift up if made by revenge, so oh sweet
F#m Bm
I will, will it
Esus2 D/A
To add up to more than you or me
[Chorus]
G F#m Bm
'Cause a man is not his song
G F#m Bm
And I’m not a story
G F#m Bm
But I wanna sing along
G F#m Bm
If he’s singing it for me
[Verse 2]
F#m Bm Esus2
That filament that flies by
D/A
And it brings yellow light from those yellow summers back
G F#m Bm
By coconut palm, snowy pine
Esus2 D/A
I’ve heard years pass through my ears to hear otherwise
G F#m Bm
We all believe in old melodies
Esus2 D/A
Carry tunes around like they carry me
[Instrumental]
F#m D/A x4
[Bridge]
D/A F#m
B man is not his song
Bm G
(Though we all wanna sing along)
D/A F#m
We’ve all heard those old melodies
Bm
(Like they’re singing right to me)
[Outro]
G F#m
More than a melody’s needed
Bm G
More than a melody’s needed
F#m Bm
More than a melody’s needed
G F#m
More than a melody’s needed...
