         G
I made a livin' writin' lover's dream words

            C
I found the notes to hang them on

                               G
I found a way to play with the meanin' of things

                                D
And I came up with a couple good songs
[Verse 2]
         G
And so I oughta have an easy answer

         C
I oughta have some pretty things to say

      D                       G
But I haven't found the combination

             C                            D        D*
That'll make you change your mind and wanna stay
[Chorus]
                G        C      D                    G
So I wish I had one sure honest line to say over and over again

        C        D                G
Sung in tune and time to a melody pure

          C    D                    G
One clear e-verpresent pulse in the pocket

               C               D              G
And I'm on the radio so you'll know that I am yours
[Break] C D G G* [Verse 3]
G
Listen to the laughter of the children

    C
She scratched on the back of a bill

                                   G
As we climbed past the road to the schoolhouse

                                D
On the burnt crust brownin' pan hill
[Verse 4]
              G
To where they don't take sad for an answer

  C
A place at the corner of your heart

      D                G
Where music meets with memories

           C                            D        D*
So you can recognize the feelin' from the start
[Chorus]
                 G        C      D                    G
How I wish I had one sure honest line to say over and over again

        C        D                G
Sung in tune and time to a melody pure

          C    D                    G
One clear e-verpresent pulse in the pocket

               C               D
And I'm on the radio so you'll know that I have
[Outro]
G        C      D                    G
One sure honest line to say over and over again

        C        D                G
Sung in tune and time to a melody pure

          C    D                    G
One clear e-verpresent pulse in the pocket

               C               D              G
And I'm on the radio so you'll know that I am yours

                      C               D              G
They'll put us on the radio so you'll know that I am yours
C D G G*
