Love Song
Sara Bareilles (www.sarabmusic.com)... so good.
I think these chords are pretty close for piano. You have the ascending bass line of
notes F# G, A Bb, C D, E F under the chords during the verses. This is what I figured out
to the recording.
[Verse]
Gm Bb
head under water
Dm
and they tell me
F
to breathe easy for a while
Gm Bb
but breathing gets harder
Dm F
even i know that
Gm Bb
you made room for me
Dm
but its too soon to see
F
if im happy in your hands
Gm Bb Dm F
im unusually hard to hold on to
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Am
blank stares at blank pages
Bb Am
no easy way to say this
Gm Am Bb
you mean well, but you make this hard on me
[Chorus]
Gm
i'm not gonna write you a love song
C
'cause you asked for it
F Bb
'cause you need one, you see
Gm
i'm not gonna write you a love song
C
'cause you tell me it's
F
make or break in this
Bb
if you're on your way
Gm F
i'm not gonna write you to stay
Dm G/B
if all you have is leavin' im'a need a better reason
Bb C Gm Bb Dm F
to write you a love song today
[Verse]
Gm Bb
i learned the hard way
Dm
that they all say
F
things you wanna hear
Gm Bb
and my heavy heart
Dm F
sings deep down under you
Gm Bb
and your twisted words
Dm
your help just hurts
F
you were not what i thought you were
Gm Bb Dm F
hello to high and dry
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Am
convinced me to please you
Bb Am
made me think that i need this too
Gm Am Bb
i'm trying to let you hear me as i am
[Chorus]
Gm
i'm not gonna write you a love song
C
'cause you asked for it
F Bb
'cause you need one, you see
Gm
i'm not gonna write you a love song
C
'cause you tell me it's
F
make or break in this
Bb
if you're on your way
Gm F
i'm not gonna write you to stay
Dm G/B
if all you have is leavin' im'a need a better reason
Bb C
to write you a love song today
[Bridge]
Dm Am Bb
promise me
F C
you'll leave the light on
Dm Am Bb
to help me see
F C
with daylight, my guide, gone
Dm A(maj) Bb
'cause i believe there's a way
C
you can love me because i say
Chorus:
Gm
i'm not gonna write you a love song
C
'cause you asked for it
F Bb
'cause you need one, you see
Gm
i'm not gonna write you a love song
C
'cause you tell me it's
F
make or break in this
Gm
i'm not gonna write you a love song
C
'cause you tell me it's
F
make or break in this
Gm
im not gonna write you a love song
C
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
Bb
if you're on your way
Gm F
i'm not gonna write you to stay
Dm
if your heart is no where in it
C
i dont want it for a minute
Dm
babe ill walk the seven seas
G/B
when i believe that there's a reason
Bb C Gm Bb Dm F
to write you a love song today, today
Hopefully that's a little clearer!!
