I wrote then I for-Bmgot
I tried again, but they alEways came out wrong

Even if it's by some Eother writer's pen
[Chorus]
  DTo the songs I didn't F#mwrite
I'm staying up all Bmnight
Trying to get 'em Eright
  DI just forgot the F#mwords
The melody and Bmverse
The way it helped the Ehurt
  D(no, F#mno) x2

  DThis one's for the F#mbirds
Whose songs I never Bmheard
I never saw them Eperch next to me
  DIf I get the chance some F#mday
Wonder if they'd fly a-Bmway
I wonder if they'd Estay
[Chorus]
  DTo the songs I didn't F#mwrite
I'm staying up all Bmnight
Trying to get 'em Eright
  DI just forgot the F#mwords
The melody and Bmverse
The way it helped the Ehurt
  D(no, F#mno) x2
[Verse]
  DThis one's for the F#mnights
When we felt most a-Bmlive
When we agreed that Ewe would do it right
  DI know we stayed up F#mlate
And I know we made it Bmgreat
But I don't remember Eanybody's names
[Chorus]
  DTo the songs I didn't F#mwrite
I'm staying up all Bmnight
Trying to get 'em Eright
  DI just forgot the F#mwords
The melody and Bmverse
The way it helped the Ehurt
  D(ooh-oo, oh F#mno, no) x2

Even if it's by some other writer's pen
