A          D               A
 Do you believe, in happy endings?

       D                         A
Or the mendings, of human hearts?

         D                    A
Oh, I believe, in both I'm certain

              D                            A
Because these curtains, are state of the art

                       D                 A
If you'd occasionally, happen to spy on me

                            D                 A
You'd think I'm having one sided conversations

                           D                            A
But I hear him talking back You'd think, I may even lack

                        D
Some sanity, but maybe, I can't let go

[Chorus 1] (All single strums) So I'll say

A
I finally wrote your song, at last

E      Fdim               F#m
Sorry, that this one came out so sad, every tear I had

    D                          Dm
Was shed for the man that gave me a better sense

A
Of life and meaning to motivate

E               Fdim                 F#m
There's no shortcut to success, I'll wait

For his, guiding hands

   D                 Dm
My guardian Angel, until the very end

e|------5---5---5---------5---5---5-----------------------------|
B|----5---5---5---5-----5---5---5---5---------------------------|

[Verse 2]

        A
I see a cold seat on the couch

                      Bm
Where I remember that just four years ago around December

    F#m
You sat me down and

                D
Held me next to you so close

A
How I long for things to be restored

   Bm
To back when times weren't quite this hard

       F#m
In the car that song you sang to me

D
Never rang so loud before

               F#m                   D
Oh, what'd I'd give for just another hug from you

            F#m                      D    Dm
You may be gone, but love will never die

[Chorus 2] (This is not single strums) So I'll say

A
I finally wrote your song, at last

E      Fdim               F#m
Sorry, that this one came out so sad, every tear I had

    D                          Dm
Was shed for the man that gave me a better sense

A
Of life and meaning to motivate

E               Fdim                 F#m
There's no shortcut to success, I'll wait

For his, guiding hand

   D                 Dm
My guardian Angel, until the very end

Bridge:

Bm     F#m         Bm           F#m
Tears can't run dry, when I start to cry

Bm           F#m             D              E
When I hear people speak of how you'd be so proud of me

        Bm                    F#m
And how I hope this song will reach your ears

  Bm              F#m
I battled all my darkest fears

  Bm                 F#m
I once was blind but now it's clear,

D               E
Wherever I go I know that you'll be near

[Chorus 3] You can choose to just play the chords single strummed until "Was shed for the man..." or you can play it this way:

You just play the A tab and the F#m tab twice

D                         Dm                     A
Was shed for the man that gave me a better sense

Of life and meaning to motivate

E                                     Fdim
There's no short cut to success, I'll wait

My guardian Angel, until the very end

My guardian angel, until the very end
