[Verse 1]
     F#m                   
The first words that come out

            A                         
And I can see this song will be about you

            E                                
I can't believe that I can breathe without you

          Bm                   
But all I need to do is carry on

     F#m                       
The next line I write down

              A                                 
And there's a tear that falls between the pages

               E                                
I know that pain's supposed to heal in stages

        Bm                                                        
But it depends which one it's standing on
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F#m                       A
I write lines down, then rip them up

     Bm                D          
Describing love can't be this tough
[Chorus]
A                              E
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke

F#m                                  D                
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly

A                              E
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon

F#m                                  D   
Play it for the world, but it won't mean much

           D               F#m
Unless I sing this song to you
[Verse 2] I'm dying to show you This could end happily ever after There doesn't ever have to be disaster And all you have to do is sing along [Pre-Chorus 1] I write lines down, then rip them up Impossible describing love [Chorus] I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon Play it for the world, but it won't mean much Unless I sing this song to you [Post-Chorus]
A                              E
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you

F#m                              D
I could set this song on fire
[Bridge]
A                              E
Light this old guitar on fire, I'd still hear the notes

F#m                           D                  
Drown the melody in water, I'd still hear its ghost

A                               E
Sing it with somebody else, but we'd be out of tune

F#m                                   D
Play it for the world, but it won't mean much
[Chorus] I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon Play it for the world, but it won't mean much Unless I sing this song to you [Outro]
A                              E
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you

F#m                           D    
I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you
I could set this, I could set this I wanna sing this song to you I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you I could set this, I could set this
