Verse
D C#m F#m
How they, they make it up
Bsus2 A/E D
And it sends in deep elation
C#m F#m
Eventually it could let you down
Bsus2 A/E D
By believing in standing ovation
C#m F#m Bsus2 A/E D
Song won’t lift up if made by revenge, so oh sweet
C#m F#m
I will, will it
Bsus2 A/E
To add up to more than you or me
[Chorus]
D C#m F#m
'Cause a man is not his song
D C#m F#m
And I’m not a story
D C#m F#m
But I wanna sing along
D C#m F#m
If he’s singing it for me
[Verse 2]
C#m F#m Bsus2
That filament that flies by
A/E
And it brings yellow light from those yellow summers back
D C#m F#m
By coconut palm, snowy pine
Bsus2 A/E
I’ve heard years pass through my ears to hear otherwise
D C#m F#m
We all believe in old melodies
Bsus2 A/E
Carry tunes around like they carry me
[Instrumental]
C#m A/E x4
[Bridge]
A/E C#m
F# man is not his song
F#m D
(Though we all wanna sing along)
A/E C#m
We’ve all heard those old melodies
F#m
(Like they’re singing right to me)
[Outro]
D C#m
More than a melody’s needed
F#m D
More than a melody’s needed
C#m F#m
More than a melody’s needed
D C#m
More than a melody’s needed...
