[Verse 1]
[Am]Life is like a son[Em]g to sing
With meas[Dm]ures, beat[F]s,
[Dm]and phrases[F][E]
With [Am]bended [C]notes and
[F#sus4]some repeats[F#m]
music through the ages[E]
that [F]brings the highs the
[Em]lows the swells
some[Dm]times [C]it's for an ending.[E]
Bring[Am]ing other s[F#m]ongs to sing.
Ascending. [E]Descending.
[Ddim][E][E]
[F]I'm [C]learning [F]how to listen,
[C]how to hear a [G]melody,
[C]how to hear the[Dm]
song [G]that I'm singing,
[F#m]How to[F] just feel an[C]d let it be[F][C]
[F]Listen to [C]the [F]song
And [Em]knowin' how it g[Bbdim]oes
An[F#]d li[Dm]sten for the mel[G]ody[E]
[C]That [F]flows[F#dim]
[F]Mm, [G]mus[C]ic is a l[G]over
[C]Wit[Bbdim]h shiny[C]
[Am]gold[A]en wings[G]
Whis[Dm]pers [Am]in the lo[G]ver's ear,
[F]dances when she sings,
sends a variation [Eb]on an
[E]everlasting theme.[A]
It is either [Dm]love or sor[G]row
[C]on [E]the[C] sce[G]ne.
[F]I'm learning how to lis[C]ten
for [G]the song[Dm]s
I [C]name, sign,
[Dm]clai[F]m as a posse[E]ssion,
[G]and s[F]ay that is m[Am]ine,[C]
be[F]cause every[C]body [F]knows
that [Em]songs come
from [G]out of [A]the blue,
and I'm [Dm]learning how to
[G]hear [Dm]the c[G]hanges t[C]oo.
I [F]am [C]learning [G]how [E]to lis[G]ten
[F]to [E]the rhy[C]thm o[G]f the nig[Am]ht.[G][C]
[A]How [Dm]to keep [F]it simpl[C]e,
how to make it [Dm]sweet an[A]d l[C]ight,
[F]smooth and free and eas[C]y, or [F]just
Slam[F#m]min' i[G]n a j[F]am[F#]
And [F]oh, for just [G]a moment
It is music [F]that I [Dm]am[G]
