Verse:
Fm
The first words that come out
G#
And I can see this song will be about you
A#m
I canʼt believe that I can breathe without you
D#7C#D#7
But all I need to do is carry on
Fm
The next line I write down
G#
And thereʼs a tear that falls between the pages
A#m
I know that painʼs supposed to heal in stages
D#7C#D#7
But it depends which one itʼs standing on
Pre-chorus:
Fm
I write lines down, then rip them up
G#C#D#7
Describing love canʼt be this tough
Chorus:
G#Fm
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
G#C#D#7
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
G#Fm
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
G#A#m
Play it for the world, but it wonʼt mean much
C#G#
Unless I sing this song to you
Verse:
Fm
Iʼm dying to show you
G#
This could end happily ever after
A#m
There doesnʼt ever have to be disaster
D#7C#D#7
And all you have to do is sing along
Pre-chorus:
Fm
I write lines down, then rip them up
G#C#D#7
Impossible describing love
Chorus:
G#Fm
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
G#C#D#7
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
G#Fm
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
G#A#m
Play it for the world, but it wonʼt mean much
C#G#
Unless I sing this song to you
Post-chorus:
G#Fm
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
G#Fm
I could set this song on fire
Bridge:
G#Fm
Light this old guitar on fire, Iʼd still hear the notes
G#C#D#7
Drown the melody in water, Iʼd still hear its ghost
G#Fm
Sing it with somebody else, but weʼd be out of tune
G#A#m
Play it for the world, but it wonʼt mean much
Chorus:
G#Fm
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
G#C#D#7
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
G#Fm
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
G#A#m
Play it for the world, but it wonʼt mean much
C#G#
Unless I sing this song to you
Outro:
G#Fm
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
G#Fm
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
C#G#
I could set this, I could set this
C#G#
I wanna sing this song to you
G#Fm
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
C#G#
I could set this, I could set this
