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

More than a melody’s needed
Fm C#
More than a melody’s needed
Cm Fm
More than a melody’s needed
C# Cm
More than a melody’s needed...
