• Intro

* - One Strum

Intro

D  Bm  A  G


Verse 1
D
It's rainin' out in Soho, you're tellin' me, "Don't go"
Bm
Tucked outside a bar door, what are we alive for?
A                                            G
I could call a car or we could walk down the avenue

I wrote a song for you
S
About that spot in Ireland, you got on the table when
Bm
That man played his sad songs for me and all my drunken friends
A
You danced there and I did too
                             G
That night I wrote a song for you
        D
And you remind me of some old timey photo that I saw
       Bm
In the doorway on a long day, in your black-lace bra
        A
Started writin' when I met you, I'll be writin' when I die
              G
This song for you


Chorus
  D                   A                Bm         G
I heard you told your daddy 'bout some boy in the city
     D        A               Bm        G
He's Oklahoma trash, but he's real kind with me
       D       A       Bm             G
Does a boy get tired of playin' those tunes
      D          A        D
But I wrote this song for you


Break
D  Bm  A  G


Verse 2
D
Deep within my lower spine, I see you drinkin' summer wine
Bm
At a venue out in Dublin, back when I said nothing
A
Wish I'd said then the things I'm thinkin' now
  G
I wrote a song for you
    D
And all these people tellin' me I ain't what I used to be
    Bm
But you've known me since I was naive and twenty-three
  A                                            G
I could give a shit about what these people say I am

I wrote a song for you
    D
And I feel like a kid again when you start askin' questions
Bm
About my mama, Oklahoma or the way I'm sleepin'
      A
When they took the boy you knew, sold him for profit
 G
I had you in my arms last night, but I lost it


Break
D  Bm  A  G


Chorus
  D                   A                Bm         G
I heard you told your daddy 'bout some boy in the city
     D        A               Bm        G
He's Oklahoma trash, but he's real kind with me
       D       A       Bm             G
Does a boy get tired of playin' those tunes
      D          A       D
But I wrote this one for you
         D         A       D
Yeah, I wrote this one for you


Break
D  Bm  A  G


Outro
D
Maybe you move on, do something different
Bm
Find yourself a sober man who golfs and is Christian
A
But in everything I say and in everything I do
             G*
I wrote this song for you
