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