Tonality
Verse:
F#m
The first words that come out
A
And I can see this song will be about you
Bm
I canʼt believe that I can breathe without you
E7DE7
But all I need to do is carry on
F#m
The next line I write down
A
And thereʼs a tear that falls between the pages
Bm
I know that painʼs supposed to heal in stages
E7DE7
But it depends which one itʼs standing on
Pre-chorus:
F#m
I write lines down, then rip them up
ADE7
Describing love canʼt be this tough
Chorus:
AF#m
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
ADE7
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
AF#m
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
ABm
Play it for the world, but it wonʼt mean much
DA
Unless I sing this song to you
Verse:
F#m
Iʼm dying to show you
A
This could end happily ever after
Bm
There doesnʼt ever have to be disaster
E7DE7
And all you have to do is sing along
Pre-chorus:
F#m
I write lines down, then rip them up
ADE7
Impossible describing love
Chorus:
AF#m
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
ADE7
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
AF#m
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
ABm
Play it for the world, but it wonʼt mean much
DA
Unless I sing this song to you
Post-chorus:
AF#m
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
AF#m
I could set this song on fire
Bridge:
AF#m
Light this old guitar on fire, Iʼd still hear the notes
ADE7
Drown the melody in water, Iʼd still hear its ghost
AF#m
Sing it with somebody else, but weʼd be out of tune
ABm
Play it for the world, but it wonʼt mean much
Chorus:
AF#m
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
ADE7
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
AF#m
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
ABm
Play it for the world, but it wonʼt mean much
DA
Unless I sing this song to you
Outro:
AF#m
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
AF#m
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
DA
I could set this, I could set this
DA
I wanna sing this song to you
AF#m
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
DA
I could set this, I could set this
