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