Verse
F# Fm A#m
How they, they make it up
D#sus2 C#/G# F#
And it sends in deep elation
Fm A#m
Eventually it could let you down
D#sus2 C#/G# F#
By believing in standing ovation
Fm A#m D#sus2 C#/G# F#
Song won’t lift up if made by revenge, so oh sweet
Fm A#m
I will, will it
D#sus2 C#/G#
To add up to more than you or me
[Chorus]
F# Fm A#m
'Cause a man is not his song
F# Fm A#m
And I’m not a story
F# Fm A#m
But I wanna sing along
F# Fm A#m
If he’s singing it for me
[Verse 2]
Fm A#m D#sus2
That filament that flies by
C#/G#
And it brings yellow light from those yellow summers back
F# Fm A#m
By coconut palm, snowy pine
D#sus2 C#/G#
I’ve heard years pass through my ears to hear otherwise
F# Fm A#m
We all believe in old melodies
D#sus2 C#/G#
Carry tunes around like they carry me
[Instrumental]
Fm C#/G# x4
[Bridge]
C#/G# Fm
A# man is not his song
A#m F#
(Though we all wanna sing along)
C#/G# Fm
We’ve all heard those old melodies
A#m
(Like they’re singing right to me)
[Outro]
F# Fm
More than a melody’s needed
A#m F#
More than a melody’s needed
Fm A#m
More than a melody’s needed
F# Fm
More than a melody’s needed...
