[C]
She wants [G] to know
[F] Why I never [C] wrote [F] a song [G] for her
So I thought [C] I'd try and I thought I'd [G] write this one [C] for you
[F] But it's hopelessly
[Em] Romantic
[F] just like a [Em] child's eyes
[F] Of being [B] [C] without your smile
[Em] Sometimes [G] I [F] could say that I'd jump off a [C] train for you
[F] Well, I would be scorned for you.
I would [G] be born [C] for you if you [F] have the time
[C] And I thought I'd [G] write this one [C] for you
When the [G] world [F] starts spinning [C] around I [F]
see
[C] Her laughing and [Em] wearing the air
[F] ideas and
[C]
kindnesses sparkle [Em] in her hair [F] and
she
[G] Creates a state of grace [C] in places.
I've never [F] been
like [C] the blind men [G] and the elephant
[C] or you and I [F] and God
[C] This love is like [F] that state [C] of grace.
[G] I
Could never say in [C] a song
[F] And it's hopelessly
[Em] Romantic [F]
just like a [Em] child's eyes
[F]
Of being [C] without your smile
[Em] Sometimes I [F] could say that I'd conquer [C] the moon for you
[F] Well, I would be used for you.
I would be [G] new [C] for you [G] if you [F] have the time
And [C] I thought I'd [G] write this one [C] for you
And I thought [G] I [F] would write you [C] a song
[G] [F] of sad
[C] Morning kisses and soft [Em] silver sounds [F] of the pain
We [C] used and the things that [Em] we found of [F] this place
[G] Here beyond [D] [C] love that's bigger and has [F] love inside.
Oh
when we were
[G] dancing children
[C]
[F] you and I
But how [C] can birds be aware [G] [F] of the oceans [C] of air or
[G] stars write songs [C] of the sky
[F] But it's hopelessly
[Em]
Romantic [G] [F] just like a [Em] child's eyes
[F]
Of being [C] without your smile
[Em] Sometimes I [F] could say that I offer [C] myself to you
[F] Well, I would be strong for you I would [G] sing [C] songs for you
If you [F] have the time [C] and I thought [G] I'd write this [C] one for you
[G] [C] [N]
