[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D A D A Bm I'm not ashamed to say that I've loved you well, E A G I'm not ashamed to let you know, D Bm I'm just a name that's all, D Bm Scratched upon your wall, Em A You've used it well but what the hell, D That's what walls are for.
[Verse 2]
D A D A Bm I'm not ashamed to listen to the fast falling rain, E A G In the morning upon my window, D Bm I'm not afraid to cry, D Bm I'm not afraid to try, Em A To be your friend once again, D Cause that's what friends are for.
[Chorus 1]
F#m Bm E A Friends are for sorting out the hangups that we hide, F#m Bm E A G Walls are for shutting out the love we feel inside.
[Verse 3]
D A D A Bm I'm not ashmed no to talk it over once again, E A G To rearrange my vocabulary, D Bm But I can't seem to find, D Bm Any words to change your mind, Em A Because I left them all behind, D That's what words are for.
[Interlude]
A D Bm Em A D
[Chorus 2]
F#m Bm E A Words are for explaining the mistakes we might have made, F#m Bm E A G Names are for calling when there's nothing left to say.
[Verse 4]
D A D A Bm I'm not ashamed,to say that I've loved you well, E A G I'm not ashamed, and yet I know, D Bm I'm just a name, that's all, D Bm Scratched upon your wall, Em A A7 You've used it well but what the hell, D That's what walls are for.
[Outro]
E A D
[Verse 5]
D A D A Bm I'm not ashamed of wearing out my old grey socks, E A G Chasing you around the backwoods, D Bm I'm not ashamed to darn, D Bm Nor too proud to find some yarn, Em A To sew them up once again, D Cause that's what socks are for.
