  A9           D9
Kelly is raising a son

    A9                       D9
His dad left just after the birth

  A9                     D9
Now she's living on child support checks

  F#m7                           D9   E
I guess that's all that man was worth.

              A9                       D9
She says, "I just need a man who will love me

      A9                             D9
"But they all just want one night of sin

   A9                         D9
"I know my life could be better

        F#m7                       D9    E
"I just don't know where I should begin."
Refrain 1:
             A9  E     D9
She said, “write me a song

A9             E/G#          D9/F#  E/G#
One that makes all the girls cry

         A9        E             D9
And the old women swoon at the sound of my tune

         F#m7                     B7  D9
And the hearts of the lonely will fly

  E            A9D9A9D9— 
Yeah, they'll fly...”

  A9                   D9
Beth, she sings straight from her heart

        A9                    D9
She's hidden her tracks very well

  A9                     D9
But these days she's   falling apart

       F#m7                     D9  E   
And it makes me feel just like hell

           A9               D9
She said, "Boy, you can't imagine my life

      A9                         D9
"The death and the drugs and the pain

   A9                   D9
"And though I keep running

            F#m7                       D9    E
"Just can't seem to break from these chains."
Refrain 2:
            A9   E     D9
She said, “write me a song

     A9         E/G#           D9/F#  E/G#
And fill it all  up  with the words

         A9             E
Like "brilliant" and "heavenly"

          D9
Make it sound just like me

F#m7                         D9            E
Just like the first time "I love you" was heard.

A9             E/G#          D9/F#  E/G#
One that makes all the girls cry

         A9        E             D9
And the old women swoon at the sound of my tune

         F#m7                      B7  D9-E
And the hearts of the lonely will fly
Bridge:
 Bm7                       F#m7
We're all feeding our lonely

 Bm7                 F#m7
Like it might go away

 Bm7              F#m7
The doors of heaven swing wide

       E             D9             E  E/G# A9
If we just find the right words to say
