Verse:
Gm
The first words that come out
A#
And I can see this song will be about you
Cm
I canʼt believe that I can breathe without you
F7D#F7
But all I need to do is carry on
Gm
The next line I write down
A#
And thereʼs a tear that falls between the pages
Cm
I know that painʼs supposed to heal in stages
F7D#F7
But it depends which one itʼs standing on
Pre-chorus:
Gm
I write lines down, then rip them up
A#D#F7
Describing love canʼt be this tough
Chorus:
A#Gm
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
A#D#F7
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
A#Gm
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
A#Cm
Play it for the world, but it wonʼt mean much
D#A#
Unless I sing this song to you
Verse:
Gm
Iʼm dying to show you
A#
This could end happily ever after
Cm
There doesnʼt ever have to be disaster
F7D#F7
And all you have to do is sing along
Pre-chorus:
Gm
I write lines down, then rip them up
A#D#F7
Impossible describing love
Chorus:
A#Gm
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
A#D#F7
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
A#Gm
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
A#Cm
Play it for the world, but it wonʼt mean much
D#A#
Unless I sing this song to you
Post-chorus:
A#Gm
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
A#Gm
I could set this song on fire
Bridge:
A#Gm
Light this old guitar on fire, Iʼd still hear the notes
A#D#F7
Drown the melody in water, Iʼd still hear its ghost
A#Gm
Sing it with somebody else, but weʼd be out of tune
A#Cm
Play it for the world, but it wonʼt mean much
Chorus:
A#Gm
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
A#D#F7
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
A#Gm
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
A#Cm
Play it for the world, but it wonʼt mean much
D#A#
Unless I sing this song to you
Outro:
A#Gm
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
A#Gm
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
D#A#
I could set this, I could set this
D#A#
I wanna sing this song to you
A#Gm
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
D#A#
I could set this, I could set this
