Intro: A9—D9--; (2x)


             
Kelly is raising a son
                           
His dad left just after the birth
                       
Now she's living on child support checks
                                
I guess that's all that man was worth.


                                     
She says, "I just need a man who will love me
                                   
"But they all just want one night of sin
                            
"I know my life could be better
                                   
"I just don't know where I should begin."


Refrain 1:

                    
She said, “write me a song
                       /  
One that makes all the girls cry
                              
And the old women swoon at the sound of my tune
                                
And the hearts of the lonely will fly
              ———— 
Yeah, they'll fly...”



                     
Beth, she sings straight from her heart
                            
She's hidden her tracks very well
                       
But these days she's   falling apart
                                 
And it makes me feel just like hell



                          
She said, "Boy, you can't imagine my life
                               
"The death and the drugs and the pain
                      
"And though I keep running
                                       
"Just can't seem to break from these chains."


Refrain 2:

                    
She said, “write me a song
                         /  
And fill it all  up  with the words
                      
Like "brilliant" and "heavenly"
          
Make it sound just like me
                                     
Just like the first time "I love you" was heard.


Refrain 3:

		          
She said, “write me a song
                       /  
One that makes all the girls cry
                              
And the old women swoon at the sound of my tune
                                 -
And the hearts of the lonely will fly


Bridge:

                        
We're all feeding our lonely
                  
Like it might go away
               
The doors of heaven swing wide
                                   /G# 
If we just find the right words to say

	(Repeat Refrain 2 & Refrain 1)


Outro:

                     
She said, “write me a song’
           
(Write me a song)
                     
She said, “write me a song”
           
(Write me a song)
                     
She said, “write me a song”
           
(Write me a song)
                     
She said, “write me a song”
           
(Write me a song)…
