Lyrics: 
Do you believe, in happy endings? 
Or the mendings, of human hearts? 
Oh, I believe, in both I'm certain 
Because these curtains, are state of the art 

If you'd occasionally, happen to spy on me 
You'd think I'm having one sided conversations 
But I hear him talking back 
You'd think, I may even lack 
Some sanity, but maybe, I can't let go 



Chorus 1: All single strums 

So I'll say 
A 
I finally wrote your song, at last 
E      E2                 Fmaj9 
Sorry, that this one came out so sad, every tear I had 
D                         Dm                       A 
Was shed for the man that gave me a better sense 

Of life and meaning to motivate 
E                E2                   Fmaj9 
There's no short cut to success, I'll wait 

For his, guiding hand 
D                  Dm 
My guardian Angel, until the very end

verse 2: 
A 
I see a cold seat on the couch 
                 E 
Where I remember that just four years ago around December 
Fmaj9 
You sat me down and 
                D            Dm 
Held me next to you so close 
A 
How I long for things to be restored 
E 
To back when times weren't quite this hard 
Fmaj9 
In the car that song you sang to me 
D                  Dm 
Never rang so loud before 


Fmaj9                                D 
Oh, what'd I'd give for just another hug from you 
        Fmaj9                        D    Dm 
You may be gone, but love will never die 


Chorus 2:  *This is not single strums* 

So I'll say 

A 
I finally wrote your song, at last 
E      E2                 Fmaj9 
Sorry, that this one came out so sad, every tear I had 
D                         Dm                       A 
Was shed for the man that gave me a better sense 

Of life and meaning to motivate 
E                E2                   Fmaj9 
There's no short cut to success, I'll wait 

For his, guiding hand 
D                  Dm 
My guardian Angel, until the very end 


Bridge: 

*PM the starred chords* 

*F#                  *Em 
Tears can't run dry, when I start to cry 
*A      A                   D 
When I hear people speak of how you'd be so proud of me 
F# 
And how I hope this song will reach your ears 
Em 
I battled all my darkest fears 
A 
I once was blind but now it's clear, 
D             Dm 
Wherever I go I know that you'll be near 


Chorus 3: You can choose to just play the chords single strummed until "Was shed for the 
man..." or you can play it this way: 

You just play the A tab and the Fmaj9 tab twice

D                         Dm                       A
