Verse
C Bm Em
How they, they make it up
Asus2 G/D C
And it sends in deep elation
Bm Em
Eventually it could let you down
Asus2 G/D C
By believing in standing ovation
Bm Em Asus2 G/D C
Song won’t lift up if made by revenge, so oh sweet
Bm Em
I will, will it
Asus2 G/D
To add up to more than you or me
[Chorus]
C Bm Em
'Cause a man is not his song
C Bm Em
And I’m not a story
C Bm Em
But I wanna sing along
C Bm Em
If he’s singing it for me
[Verse 2]
Bm Em Asus2
That filament that flies by
G/D
And it brings yellow light from those yellow summers back
C Bm Em
By coconut palm, snowy pine
Asus2 G/D
I’ve heard years pass through my ears to hear otherwise
C Bm Em
We all believe in old melodies
Asus2 G/D
Carry tunes around like they carry me
[Instrumental]
Bm G/D x4
[Bridge]
G/D Bm
E man is not his song
Em C
(Though we all wanna sing along)
G/D Bm
We’ve all heard those old melodies
Em
(Like they’re singing right to me)
[Outro]
C Bm
More than a melody’s needed
Em C
More than a melody’s needed
Bm Em
More than a melody’s needed
C Bm
More than a melody’s needed...
