[Am][C][F][C][G][F][C][Am][F]
[C][G][C]
[Am]I couldn't

[Verse 1]
think of [F]a thing [G]to wri[C]te[F]
[C]On your [G]birthday [F]card
Considered the po[G]ets,
[F]they didn't know
What lay [C]quite inside my heart
[Am]I thought of [C]At [G]lanta,
I thought of [C]Toron[F]to
And [C]all of the [G]places we've [F]been
[Am]I filled up my tea and looked
into [F]the trees
[C]And still came up [G]empty [C]again
[E]So I guess the [Am]next [G]time you [F]see me
In a [E]world of partial truths,
you will [Am]fully [G]bel[F]ieve me
I have [Am]nothing to [G]give [Em]except for [C]to [F]live
Like [C]the person you [G]know me
to [C]be[Am][G][C][F][C][G][F]
I can [Am]clean up the kit[C]chen and
fold up your [F]clothes
[C]Neatly as [G]I am a[F]ble
Wrap a [Am]box up with t[G]ies [C]for a surp[F]rise
[C]Order you [G]flowers for the [C]table
Or I could [Am]book us [G]a trip
on a plane or [C]ship[F]
[C]I know how much [G]you love [F]the sun
[Dm]You could [Am]gamble on [G]me like the lott[F]ery
[C]I'll make you [G]feel like you've [C]won
[E]And I'll bet the [Am]next [G]time [F]you see me
In a [E]world of partial truths,
you will [Am]fully [G]bel[F]ieve me
I have [Am]nothing to [G]give [C]except for to [F]live
Like [C]the person you know me to be
Life is short and [F]so on
I'd like to [C]give you
something to [F#dim]go on
[F]Grow on
They [Am]recently [C]paved the walk on our [F]street
We [C]looked at the shiny [G]ce [F]ment
[Am]We stopped the [C]car ready [F]to carve
Our [C]names into [G]per[C]manence
[Am]For a moment we're k[G]id
s intent on [C]a whim[F]
[C]There is no [G]shadowy [F]past
[Am]But even s[G]o it urges t[F]o go
And [C]put something [G]down that will [C]last
[E]So here goes,
[Am]the next [G]time I [F]show up for you
You will [C]know and [F#dim]be lieve[F]
I am [Am]ready to [C]give, ready to [F]live
Like [C]the person you [G]know me to be
