[INTRO]
Eb Cm Bb Ab .
[VERSE ONE]
Eb It's rainin' out in Soho, you're tellin' me, "Don't go"
Cm Tucked outside a bar door, what are we alive for?
Bb Ab I could call a car or we can walk down the avenue
Ab I wrote a song for you
Eb About that spot in Ireland, you got on the table when
Cm That man played his sad songs for me and all my drunken friends
Bb You danced there and I did too
Ab That night, I wrote a song for you
Eb And you remind me of some old timey photo that I saw
Cm In the doorway on a long day, in your black lace bra
Bb Started writin' when I met you, I'll be writin' when I die
Ab This song for you
[CHORUS]
Eb Bb Cm Ab I heard you told your daddy 'bout some boy in the city
Eb Bb Cm Ab "He's Oklahoma trash, but he's real kind with me"
Eb Bb Cm Ab Does a boy get tired of playin' those tunes
Ab Bb Eb But I wrote this song for you
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Eb Cm Ab Bb Eb .
[VERSE TWO]
Eb Deep within my lower spine, I see you drinkin' summer wine
Cm At a venue out in Dublin, back when I said nothin'
Bb Wish I'd said then the things I'm thinkin' now
Ab I wrote a song for you
Eb And all these people tellin' me I ain't what I used to be
Cm But you've known me since I was naive and twenty three
Bb Ab I could give a shit about what these people say I am
Ab I wrote a song for you
Eb And I feel like a kid again when you start askin' questions
Cm About my mama, Oklahoma, or the way I'm sleepin'
Bb When they took the boy you knew, sold him for profit
Ab I had you in my arms last night, but I lost it
[CHORUS]
Eb Bb Cm Ab I heard you told your daddy 'bout some boy in the city
Eb Bb Cm Ab "He's Oklahoma trash, but he's real kind with me"
Eb Bb Cm Ab Does a boy get tired of playin' those tunes
Ab Bb Eb But I wrote this song for you
Yeah, I wrote this one for you
[OUTRO]
Maybe you'll move on, Do somethin' different
Find yourself a sober man who golfs and is Christian
But in everything I say and in everything I do
I wrote this song for you
