Verse: 1
C E F
Remember when you'd sing
F
Just for the fuck of it?
Am E7 F
Any joy it would bring
F
Honey, the look of it
C E F
Was as sweet as the sound
F Am E7 F
Your head tilt back, your funny mouth to the clouds
C E F
I couldn't hope to know that song and all its words
Am E7 F
Wouldn't claim to feel the same it felt the first time it was heard
C E F
I couldn't name that feeling carried in that voice
Am E7 F
Was it that or just the act of making noise that brought you joy?
Pre-Chorus:
F
You don't have to sing it right
G
Who could call you wrong?
C
You put your emptiness to melody
Em F
Your awful heart to song
F G
You don't have to sing it nice, but honey sing it strong
C
At best, you'll find a little remedy
Em F
At worst, the world will sing along
C Em F
So honey, sing, sing
Am Em F
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
C Em F
Sing, sing
Am Em F
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
