Verse
D# Dm Gm
How they, they make it up
Csus2 A#/F D#
And it sends in deep elation
Dm Gm
Eventually it could let you down
Csus2 A#/F D#
By believing in standing ovation
Dm Gm Csus2 A#/F D#
Song won’t lift up if made by revenge, so oh sweet
Dm Gm
I will, will it
Csus2 A#/F
To add up to more than you or me
[Chorus]
D# Dm Gm
'Cause a man is not his song
D# Dm Gm
And I’m not a story
D# Dm Gm
But I wanna sing along
D# Dm Gm
If he’s singing it for me
[Verse 2]
Dm Gm Csus2
That filament that flies by
A#/F
And it brings yellow light from those yellow summers back
D# Dm Gm
By coconut palm, snowy pine
Csus2 A#/F
I’ve heard years pass through my ears to hear otherwise
D# Dm Gm
We all believe in old melodies
Csus2 A#/F
Carry tunes around like they carry me
[Instrumental]
Dm A#/F x4
[Bridge]
A#/F Dm
G man is not his song
Gm D#
(Though we all wanna sing along)
A#/F Dm
We’ve all heard those old melodies
Gm
(Like they’re singing right to me)
[Outro]
D# Dm
More than a melody’s needed
Gm D#
More than a melody’s needed
Dm Gm
More than a melody’s needed
D# Dm
More than a melody’s needed...
