Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]You fell in [F#m]love
[A]or threw it [Bm]away
You're looking for the [A]perfect
thing to [G]say[D]
You're no good with words,
[A]well, [Bm]that's okay
[G]That's why [A]I write songs
[D]

[Verse 2]
Might make [A]you laugh
or make [Bm]you cry
Might help you [G]make it through a bad
[D]goodbye
'Cause you've been through it
[F#m]and so have I[Bm]
[G]That's why I [A]write songs
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
I remember all the [A]times I [G]felt
Like somebody knows me [Asus4]all
[A]too [D]well[G]
'Cause it was my life [A]story I was
[D]listen[Bm]ing [D]to[G]
I don't know about [A]you[D]

[Verse 4]
But I've buried [A]loved ones and
a few good [Bm]friends
I've held a [G]brand new baby
in [D]my hands
It ain't just what [A]I do, it's who I [Bm]am
And [G]that's why I [A]write songs
[D]

[Interlude 1]

[A][G]

[Verse 5]
I remember how it [A]blew my [G]mind
When I played my song and
watched [A]a grown man cry
[D]And [G]it was at that mo [A]ment
[D]I just [Bm]knew[A][G]
What I was born [A]to do

[Verse 6]
[D]
Most songwriter[A]s never get
[Bm]the fame
Some folks wouldn't [A]recognize
[G]their names[D]
But chances [A]are you probably
sang along
[Bm][G][A]

[Verse 7]
[D]To Harlan Howard or
[A]Bob [D]McD[Bm]ill
