Capo 1
AmThis the shit they gonna play,
Fon every station every day
CThese the words you can't escape,
Ggirl I wrote this song for you
AmWhen you're drivin in your car
Fpretending you don't know the words by heart
CGirl I'll be your superstar,
Gtold you from the start I was gonna write a song for you
AmI'm trying to think back to that,
after that,
FJourney to your heart always seemin like I had the map
CIn these trips I've had to do,
I was simply passin through
GWas a dedication, now its chapter two
On these paAmges now I see that,
when I'm wiFth you I can't be that
CGuy that you need now, so whats this story about?
GIt don't seem like you can figure it out
AmNo, a lots change since we met up in June
FThis love you can't buy but you let it consume
CAnd I try for you but it just don't work
GI won't lie to you baby what's this worth
AmAlFl this fightin gets us nowhere
FLosin you to the crowd
CAnd there's no way we gon make this right
GSo baby go and turn your radio loud
[Chorus]
AmAn eternity of questions while answers she had none of
FStill when I was with her toss and turn until the sun up
CWait for me to come up, don't let it blind you
GI have half a mind to remind you
That I can't Ambe there every time you need me
FIf you don't like that then you can leave me
CBut I won't sit here and have you tell me I'm wrong
G'Cause been right and I'll be writin till I'm gone
AmYou say you lie awake waitin,
FLike thats the reason we're fadin,
CKeep blamin me it just ain't right
GAnd it's not my fault you can't sleep at night
AmAll this fightin got us nowhere
FLost you to the crowd
CAnd you will see where went wrong
GYou just gotta turn your radio loud
[Chorus]
AmNow I'm livin the life
FWe was doin it wrong,
now we getting it right
Its beCen a long time since I written this song
GUsed to turn this off,

AmAnd even though we're done for
Girl I'll prolly see Fyou at my shows in the front row
CScreamin out the words like I told you you would do
GAnd even though it hurts, you always knew
That I was gonna write a song for you
[Chorus x2]
Told you what I would do
Kept my word when I said I was gonna write a song for you

Capo 1

This the shit they gonna play,

on every station every day

These the words you can't escape,

girl I wrote this song for you

When you're drivin in your car

pretending you don't know the words by heart

Girl I'll be your superstar,

told you from the start I was gonna write a song for you

I'm trying to think back to that,

after that,

Journey to your heart always seemin like I had the map

In these trips I've had to do,

I was simply passin through

Was a dedication, now its chapter two

On these pages now I see that,

when I'm with you I can't be that

Guy that you need now, so whats this story about?

It don't seem like you can figure it out

No, a lots change since we met up in June

This love you can't buy but you let it consume

And I try for you but it just don't work

I won't lie to you baby what's this worth

AlFl this fightin gets us nowhere

Losin you to the crowd

And there's no way we gon make this right

So baby go and turn your radio loud

[Chorus]

An eternity of questions while answers she had none of

Still when I was with her toss and turn until the sun up

Wait for me to come up, don't let it blind you

I have half a mind to remind you

That I can't be there every time you need me

If you don't like that then you can leave me

But I won't sit here and have you tell me I'm wrong

'Cause been right and I'll be writin till I'm gone

You say you lie awake waitin,

Like thats the reason we're fadin,

Keep blamin me it just ain't right

And it's not my fault you can't sleep at night

All this fightin got us nowhere

Lost you to the crowd

And you will see where went wrong

You just gotta turn your radio loud

[Chorus]

Now I'm livin the life

We was doin it wrong,

now we getting it right

Its been a long time since I written this song

Used to turn this off,

now you singing along

And even though we're done for

Girl I'll prolly see you at my shows in the front row

Screamin out the words like I told you you would do

And even though it hurts, you always knew

That I was gonna write a song for you

[Chorus x2]

Told you what I would do

Kept my word when I said I was gonna write a song for you
