lyrics

(G) Write a song about me you said, (C) write it from your soul
To (Am) write a song that precious i’d (C) need a pen of (G) gold
You / handed me a pen of gold i said (Bm7) hell i’m in it now
I (Em) put that pen to the page and (C) sweat formed on my brow

Refrain:
I write (G) songs about dragons I write (Em) songs about my fears
I write (C) songs that tell stories that leave (D) grown men in tears
I write (Em) songs about writing songs (C) so you can see my point of view
And (D) this is why I can’t write a (C) song about (G) you

(G) One / fateful day you asked me “sing a (C) song about me”
I’d (Am) sing that song in a heartbeat if my (C) voice was half as (G) sweet
As your smile on rainy day ‘cause (Bm7) I have always loved the way
(Em) You see colors everywhere when (C) all I see are shades of grey

(G) I’ve / got a song about my heart breaking (C) thirty years ago
And per- (Am) haps it makes you jealous to hear my
(C) heart still longing (G) so
The e / motions in my voice are ghosts (Bm7) etched upon my soul
And Al (Em) though my heart’s moved on from that the (C) music takes control
