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