There's a song outside my window
And it plays to your tune
And there's a life inside this pencil

F# C#m A

I had months to write a song

That captured who you are

F# C#m A

But I fear I have done you wrong

Because I've failed you so far

The chord that struck, an angel fell

The sky went dark and it all comes down

F# C#m A

The choices made, the lies forgotten

Oh, well

A B C#m G#
