Michael's song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
There's [D]a light out on the freeway
Says [A]it's time [F#]to go[F#m]
[G]I'm wasting my tim[Em]e counting
[G]Stain[A] s on a barroom fl[F#m]oor[A]
[D]Thinking 'bout my hometown
And [G]the friends I'll leave
be[D]hind[F#m][F#]
Mostly 'bout the man who writes
[F#m]His songs [G]with smiling rhymes[Em][G]
[A]And I'm holding on to a smokey [F#m]view
Of his dream[A]s in the midnight light
[D]

[Verse 2]
Michael counts his songs
In the [F#]years of wasted [F#m]miles
[G]I used to think he was really par[Em]t
Of [A]that fantasy [F#m]in rhyme[A]
[D]But looking back on all his tunes
[G]Of butterflies [D]and sunshine[F#]
There was only one [F#m]about the
[G]Man he [Em]kept [G]inside
About [A]the time he crossed [F#m]the line
And let a [A]tear come to his eye
[D]

[Verse 3]
[E]
[A]I used to [G]hide out
In his pretty [D]smile[A]
And hope it [G]would shine me
Through the [D]morrow[F#]
Until I learned the way
[F#m]It fee[G]ls to be the[Em] man
[A]Who sings the world a s[F#m]mile
Without a [A]soul to share his sorrow

[Verse 4]
The light here at [D]the freeway
Well, it's turn[F#]ing green to gold
[G]The stains on that barroom floor
Ten [A]miles back down
[F#m]the road[A]
[D]Thinking 'bout how that old bar
[G]Brought Michael back to [D]mind[F#]
And how I can sing his blues
[D]And be [G]smiling here inside
I guess a weary [A]soul will al[F#m]ways[A]

[Verse 5]
[D]I u[E]sed to hide[G] out
In his pretty [D]smile
[A]And hope it [G]would shine me
Through the [D]morrow[F#]
Until I learned the way
It [G]feels to be the man
[A]Who sings the world a s[F#m]mile
Without a [A]soul to share his sor
[D]row
