[Intro]
| G* |
[Verse 1]
G C
He writes his songs, sometimes holding back the tears,
Am G
plays them on his old guitar, but that's not all he hears.
G C
He hears percussion, he hears the strings,
Am G
and every now and then angels voices join in.
[Chorus 1]
C D/F# G G
Songs of sadness, heartache and pain,
C D/F# G G
takes him to places he said he'd never go to again.
C D/F# G Em
All those memories he tries to forget
Am D/F# G G*
but the dark clouds haven't finished with him yet.
[Verse 3]
G C
He doesn't write love songs, doesn't need them anymore
Am G
the only one he could ever love, the one he saved his heart for,
G C
was taken by angels one cold rainy day,
Am G
that's when the dark clouds came drifting his way.
[Chorus 2]
C D/F# G G
He'll keep writing sad songs, heartache and pain,
C D/F# G G
go back to the places he said he'd never go to again.
C D/F# G Em
And all of those memories, he's tried to forget,
Am D/F# G G*
but still those dark clouds haven't finished with him yet.
[Interlude]
| D | D | D | D |
| D | D | D | D |
[Verse 3]
G C
He writes each song now as if it's his last,
Am G
he thinks it will help him to forget the times past.
G C
If only he'd let in the sunshine and chase away the grey.
Am G
then maybe in time the dark clouds would fade away.
[End-Chorus]
C D/F# G G
He'll keep writing sad songs, heartache and pain,
C D/F# G G
go back to the places he said he'd never go to again.
C D/F# G Em
And all of those memories, he's tried to forget,
Am D/F#
and still those dark clouds haven't finished with him
G G G G
yet.
[Outro]
G G C C
He writes his songs, sometimes holding back tears,
Am Am* G G*
plays them on his old guitar, but that's not all that he hears.
