C      C                Am        F
I wanted to write you a song
C                           C     F
A song you could sing forever
Em               Am
And I want it to rhyme 
Em                     Am
And to bend phrase and time
       F                 Fm
Into something clever
    Am   F                C     G       G
But you deserve something better


[Chorus]
    G                   F
If I could make all the mountains
           Am
Spell your name
                F
And all the old streetcars 
             Am
dance in the rain 
               F
And promise to hold you 
           Am
For all my days
               F          Fm
It wouldn’t be enough
 Fm                   
To show you my love
C     C    Am     G 


[Verse 2]
   C        C           Am            F
I wanted to write you a verse
    C         C             F
Of all of the things that I love in you
        Em          Am
Of your beautiful smile
         Em          Am
And the truth in your eyes
         F      Fm
And the way you always knew
     Am  F                  C       G  
That you deserved something better


[Chorus]
    G                   F
If I could make all the mountains
           Am
Spell your name
                F
And all the old streetcars 
             Am
dance in the rain 
               F
And promise to hold you 
           Am
For all my days
               F         Fm
It wouldn’t be enough
 Fm                   
To show you my love
C      C    Am   Am


[Bridge]
    G        F
And when Im ugly
  G        F
I know you love me
        G        F
And you know all of me
F                   C         F         
And I wouldnt wish that on anyone


[Chorus]
    G                   F
If I could make all the mountains
           Am
Spell your name
                F
And all the old streetcars 
             Am
dance in the rain 
               F
And promise to hold you 
           Am
For all my days
               F          Fm
It wouldn’t be enough
 Fm                   
To show you my love
C     C    Am     G
