There's something about, especially when he's singing his own songs, the way he plays his own piano,
the way he plays guitar and sings, he's just a [G] total soul mate for me.

[E] That's a great part of the art of songwriting, is to take an [D] isolated incident that happens to you
and [A] turn it into poetry that makes it [E] general enough for everybody else [A] to be able to relate.
[E] [F#m] [A] [D]
