A Song For You by Donny Hathaway
Verse 1
[Am] [E7/G#]
I've been so many places in my life and time
[C/G] [D7/F#]
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
[F] [Em7] [Dm7] [Em7]
I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching
[Dm7] [Em7]
But we're alone now
[F/G] [C] [E7]
And I'm singing this song to you
Verse 2
[Am] [E7/G#]
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
[C/G] [D7/F#]
I treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
[F] [Em7]
There's no one more important to me
[Dm7] [Em7]
Baby, can't you see through me
[Dm7] [Em7]
Cause we're alone now
[F/G] [C] [E7]
And I'm singing this song to you
Verse 3
[Am] [E7/G#]
You taught me precious secrets
[C/G] [F#m7b5]
Of a true love, withholding nothing
[F] [G6] [C] [Em7]
You came out in front when I was hiding
[Am] [Am/G#]
But now I'm so much better and if
[C/G] [F#m7b5]
My words don't come together
[F] [Em7] [Dm] [G7sus4]
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
Verse 4
[Am] [E7/G#]
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
[C/G] [D7/F#]
I love you for my life, you're a friend of mine
[F] [Em7]
And when my life is over
[Dm7] [Em7] [Dm7]
Remember when we were together. We were alone
[Em7] [F/G] [C]
And I was singing this song to you
[Dm7] [Em7] [Bb] [G#] [A7] [Cmaj7]
We were alone and I was singing this song to you
