A Song For You by Donny Hathaway
[Verse 1]
Am E
I've been so many places in my life and time
C Am/F# 202210
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
F Em Dm Em
I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching
Dm Em
But we're alone now
F C
And I'm singing this song for you
[Verse 2]
Am E
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
C Am/F#
I treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
F Em
There's no one more important to me
Dm Em
Baby can't you please see through me
Dm Em
Cause we're alone now
F C
And I'm singing this song for you
[Verse 3]
Am E
You taught me precious secrets of the
C Am/F#
Truth, withholding nothing
F G C
You came out in front when I was hiding
Em Am E
But now I'm so much better and if
C Am/F#
My words don't come together
F Em Dm G
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
[Verse 4]
Am E
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
C Am/F#
I love you for my life you're a friend of mine
F Em
And when my life is over
Dm Em Dm Em
Remebmer when we were together we were alone
F C
And I was singing this song for you
Dm Em F C
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
