[Verse 1]
Em I come fresh from the street A G Em D Fast on my feet, kinda lean and lazy Em Not much meat on my bones A And a whole lot alone G Em D And more than a little bit crazy Am7/D G The old six string was all I had Em Bm To keep my belly still Em A And for each full-hour lesson I gave G Em D D6 D D6 I got a crisp ten dollar bill
[Verse 2]
Em A She was married for seven years G Em D To a concrete castle king Em A She said she wanted to learn to play the guitar G Em D And to hear her children sing Am7/D G So I'd show up about once a week Em Bm In my faded tight-legged jeans Em A With a backlog full of hobo stories G And dilapidated dreams
[Chorus 1]
D D** D9sus4 D She said, I want to learn a love song Em Em7 Em6 Full of happy things Em A Asus4 A Asus2 She said, I want to learn a love song G Won't you let me hear you sing D D** D9sus4 D She said, I want to learn a love song Em Em7 Em6 I want to hear you play Em A Asus4 A Asus2 She said, I want to learn a love song G Em D D6 D D6 Before you go away
[Verse 3]
Em A So I tried to teach her a couple of chords G Em D And an easy melody Em A But it always turned out she'd rather listen G Em D To my guitar and me Am7/D G I could hear her old man laughing in the den Em Bm Playing stud poker with the boys Em A While I sang so soft in the living room G Em D D6 D D6 Too scared to make much noise
[Verse 4]
Em A I came one week and the den was dark G Em D And she met me at the door Em A And we sat on the couch and we sang and talked G Em D Till I could not sing no more Am7/D D The silence kept on building Em Bm Her eyes grew much too wide Em A And I could hear both of our heartbeats G But there was no place to hide
[Chorus 2]
D D** D9sus4 D She said, I want to learn a love song Em Em7 Em6 Full of happy things Em A Asus4 A Asus2 She said, I want to learn a love song G Won't you let me hear you sing D D** D9sus4 D She said, I want to learn a love song Em Em7 Em6 I want to hear you play Em A Asus4 A Asus2 She said, I want to learn a love song G Em D D6 D D6 Before you go away
[Verse 5]
Em A Well, I guess you know what happened G Em D God I, I never been so clean Em A Yes, I feel like I'm working in a Hollywood movie G Em D Or living out a good bad dream Am7/D G And all them pinup girls in that tinsel world Em Bm Never touched me like she can Em A It took another man's wife in the real world life G To make this boy a man
[Chorus 3]
D D** D9sus4 D She said, I want to learn a love song Em Em7 Em6 Full of happy things Em A Asus4 A Asus2 She said, I want to learn a love song G Won't you let me hear you sing D D** D9sus4 D She said, I want to learn a love song Em Em7 Em6 I want to hear you play Em A Asus4 A Asus2 She said, I want to learn a love song G Em D D6 D D6 Before you go away
