Verse
A# Am Dm
How they, they make it up
Gsus2 F/C A#
And it sends in deep elation
Am Dm
Eventually it could let you down
Gsus2 F/C A#
By believing in standing ovation
Am Dm Gsus2 F/C A#
Song won’t lift up if made by revenge, so oh sweet
Am Dm
I will, will it
Gsus2 F/C
To add up to more than you or me
[Chorus]
A# Am Dm
'Cause a man is not his song
A# Am Dm
And I’m not a story
A# Am Dm
But I wanna sing along
A# Am Dm
If he’s singing it for me
[Verse 2]
Am Dm Gsus2
That filament that flies by
F/C
And it brings yellow light from those yellow summers back
A# Am Dm
By coconut palm, snowy pine
Gsus2 F/C
I’ve heard years pass through my ears to hear otherwise
A# Am Dm
We all believe in old melodies
Gsus2 F/C
Carry tunes around like they carry me
[Instrumental]
Am F/C x4
[Bridge]
F/C Am
D man is not his song
Dm A#
(Though we all wanna sing along)
F/C Am
We’ve all heard those old melodies
Dm
(Like they’re singing right to me)
[Outro]
A# Am
More than a melody’s needed
Dm A#
More than a melody’s needed
Am Dm
More than a melody’s needed
A# Am
More than a melody’s needed...
