Intro: G - D - Cadd2 (2x)
Verse 1:
Cadd2
Kelly is raising her son
Cadd2
His dad left just after the birth
Cadd2
Now she's living on child support checks
Cadd2
I guess that's all that man was worth
Cadd2
She said I just need a man who will love me
Cadd2
But they all just want one night of sin
Cadd2
I know our life could be better
Cadd2
I just don't know where I should begin
Chorus:
Cadd2
She said write me a song
Cadd2
One that makes all the girls cry
And the old women swoon
Cadd2
At the sound of my tune
And the hearts of the lonely will fly
Cadd2-
Yeah, they'll fly
Verse 2:
Cadd2
Beth, she sings straight from the heart
Cadd2
She's hidden her tracks very well
Cadd2
But these days she's falling apart
Cadd2
And it makes me feel just like hell
Cadd2
She says, boy, you can't imagine my life
Cadd2
The death and the drugs and the pain
Cadd2
And though I keep running
Cadd2
I just can't seem to break from these chains
Chorus 2:
Cadd2
She said write me a song
Cadd2
Fill it all up with good words
Like brilliant and heavenly
Cadd2
Make it sound just like me
Just like the first time I love you was heard
(Chorus 1)
Bridge:
We're all feeding our lonely
Like it might go away
The doors of heaven swing wide
If we just find the right words to say
(Chorus 2)
(Chorus 1)
Cadd2
She said write me a song (Repeat until fade)
