Song For You

	  		 
 

Intro: G C G C 


Verse 
G              Em            C 
The waves crash over me again and again 
G           Em              C 
There's a storm approaching land 
G          Em             C 
And I'm so far out in the undertow 
G         Em             C 
Blindly praying for the sand 

 
Em         C                    G      D 
I built a boat that caused my sinking 
Em          D              C 
Nothing to blame but my own hands 
Em         C                  G      D 
The final lifeboat has been taken 
Em          D              C 
And I find I'm playing with the band 

      G     Em     C 
This song for you 
      G     Em     C 
This song for you 


Verse 
G              Em            C 
When we first met I held a hammer in my hands 
G          Em            C 
A box of nails I used before 
G              Em       C 
Turns out the woodshed now is empty 
G              Em            C 
I didn't know the job in store 

 
Em               C                 G       D 
I thought the plans I drew were carefully drawn 
Em   D              C 
But alas, I'm just a fool 
Em           C              G   D 
And now I'm drowning in my sorrow 
Em          D                    C 
Like when a builder blames his tools 

          G     Em     C 
And sings his song for you 
G          Em     C 
Singing his song for you 


Verse 
G              Em        C 
"Find what you love and let it kill you" 
G            Em              C 
But I have always been unsure 
G              Em   C 
If this was spoken by a mad man 
G         Em            C 
Or by a doctor with a cure 


Em         C                  G  D 
So as I am fighting with the ocean 
Em          D              C 
Too soon to tell if I'll survive 
Em      C             G  D 
Will I meet you underwater? 
Em          D              C 
Will we be swallowed by the tide? 

              G     Em     C 
And drown in this song 
G     Em     C 
Drown in this song for you
