Intro: A9?D9--; (2x)


  A9           D9
Kelly is raising a son
    A9                       D9
His dad left just after the birth
  A9                     D9
Now she's living on child support checks
  F#m7                           D9   E
I guess that's all that man was worth.


              A9                       D9
She says, "I just need a man who will love me
      A9                             D9
"But they all just want one night of sin
   A9                         D9
"I know my life could be better
        F#m7                       D9    E
"I just don't know where I should begin."


Refrain 1:

             A9  E     D9
She said, ?write me a song
A9             E/G#          D9/F#  E/G#
One that makes all the girls cry
         A9        E             D9
And the old women swoon at the sound of my tune
         F#m7                     B7  D9
And the hearts of the lonely will fly
  E            A9?D9?A9?D9?
Yeah, they'll fly...?



  A9                   D9
Beth, she sings straight from her heart
        A9                    D9
She's hidden her tracks very well
  A9                     D9
But these days she's   falling apart
       F#m7                     D9  E
And it makes me feel just like hell



           A9               D9
She said, "Boy, you can't imagine my life
      A9                         D9
"The death and the drugs and the pain
   A9                   D9
"And though I keep running
            F#m7                       D9    E
"Just can't seem to break from these chains."


Refrain 2:

            A9   E     D9
She said, ?write me a song
     A9         E/G#           D9/F#  E/G#
And fill it all  up  with the words
         A9             E
Like "brilliant" and "heavenly"
          D9
Make it sound just like me
F#m7                         D9            E
Just like the first time "I love you" was heard.


Refrain 3:

		   A9  E     D9
She said, ?write me a song
A9             E/G#          D9/F#  E/G#
One that makes all the girls cry
         A9        E             D9
And the old women swoon at the sound of my tune
         F#m7                      B7  D9-E
And the hearts of the lonely will fly


Bridge:

 Bm7                       F#m7
We're all feeding our lonely
 Bm7                 F#m7
Like it might go away
 Bm7              F#m7
The doors of heaven swing wide
       E             D9             E  E/G# A9
If we just find the right words to say

	(Repeat Refrain 2 & Refrain 1)
