I Wanna Learn a Love Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I come [Am]fresh from the street
[D]Fast on [C]my feet, kinda lean [G]and lazy
Not much [Am]meat on my bones
And a [D]whole lot alone,
[C]more than a little [G]bit crazy

[Verse 2]
And the [G]old six- string, was [C]all I had
To [Am]keep my belly [Em]still
And for [Am]each full [D]hour lesson I gave
I got [C]a crisp, ten dollar bill
[G]

[Verse 3]
You [Am]see, she was
married for [D]seven years
To a [C]concrete [Am]castle [G]king
She said, she [Am]wanted to learn
[D]to play the guitar
And to [C]hear her [Am]children s[G]ing

[Verse 4]
So, [G]I'd show up about [C]once a week
In my [Am]faded tight- legged [Em]jeans
With a [Am]backlog full of [D]hobo stories
And [C]dilapidated dreams

[Verse 5]
[C]
She said, [G]"I wanna learn a love [Am]song
Full of happy things"
She said, [D]"I wannalearn a love song
Won't you [C]let me hear you sing?"

[Verse 6]
[C]
She said, [G]"I wanna learn
a love [Am]song
Wanna hear you play"
[C]She said, [D]"I, I wanna learn a love song
Be[C]fore you [Am]go away"
[G]

[Verse 7]
So, [Am]I tried to teach her [D]a couple of chords
And an [C]easy [G]melody
But it [Am]always turned out,
she'd [D]rather listen
[C]To my guitar and [G]me

[Verse 8]
I could [G]hear [F]her [G]old man
[C]laughin' in the den
[Am]Playin' stud poker with [Em]the boys
While [Am]I sang so soft in the [D]living room
Too [C]scared to make much [G]noise

[Verse 9]
[Am]I came one week and the [D]den was dark
And she [C]met [Am]me at the do[G]or
And we [Am]sat on the couch
and [D]we sang and talked
'Til [C]I could not sing no [G]more

[Verse 10]
You know, [G]the silence kept on [C]buildin'
And her eyes grew much too [Em]wide
I could [Am]hear both of our [D]heartbeats
But there [C]was no place to hide

[Verse 11]
She said, [G]"I wanna learn a love [Am]song
Full of happy things"
She [C]said, [D]"I wanna learn a love song
Won't you [C]let me hear you sing?"

[Verse 12]
[C]
She said, [G]"I wanna learn
a love [Am]song
Wanna hear you play"
[C]She said, [D]"I wanna learn a love song
Be[C]fore you [Am]go aw[G]ay"

[Interlude 1]
[F][G][Em][D]
[Am]

[Verse 13]
Guess, you know what [D]happened
My God, [C]I never been s[Am]o cl[G]ean
Yeah, [Am]I feel like I'm workin'
in a [D]Hollywood movie
Or [C]livin' out [Am]a good bad [G]dream

[Verse 14]
And all [G]them pin- up girls
in [C]that tinsel world
[Am]Never touched me, like she [Em]can
It took an[Am]other man's wife
in [D]the real world life
[C]To make this boy, a man

[Verse 15]
[C]
She [G]said, "I wanna learn a love [Am]song
Full of happy things"
[C]She said, [D]"I wanna learn a love song
Won't you [C]let me hear you sing?"

[Verse 16]
[C]
She said, [G]"I wanna learn
a love [Am]song
Wanna hear you play"
[C]She said, [D]"I wanna learn a love song
Be[C]fore you go [G]away"
I [C]guess you know,
[G]I stayed
