Intro.: --- (D) --- ||(D) |(D) |(G) |(G) | x 2
I (D)never was the (Bm7)biggest (G)or the (D)fastest guy
(Bm) I never hit a homerun when the (G)game was tied
I (D)knew from an early (Bm7)age I (Em7)wasn't (D)gonna be
A (Bm)doctor or the CEO (A) of (G)anything (A) ---
(Chorus)
So I (D) sang, "She Believes In Me"
And I (Bm)played, "Fire On The Mountain" 'til I (G)made my (D)fingers (A)bleed
I (G)tried to stand out from the (F#m)crowd
But (Bm7)most times I just (E)struck out at the (G)plate (A)
So I (D) sang
Solo: / / / |(D) |(G) |(G)
I (D)wasn't cool e-(Bm7)nough to be (G) a (D)ladies man
(Bm)It took me forever (A)just to (G)hold her hand
(D)First time we kissed, (Bm7) she whis-(A/E)pered, (D)I love you
But I (Bm)wasn't brave enough to say, (A) I (G)loved her too (A)
(Chorus)
So I (D) sang, "You Are So (Bm)Beautiful (F#m)To (D)Me"
And I (Bm)played every (G)note to "(D)Faithfully" (A)
(G)I loved her with (F#m)everything
But I (Bm)couldn't think of (E)anything to say (G) (A) ---
So I (G) sang
Solo: / / / |(G) |(A) |(A) |(Bm) |(Bm) |(A) |(A) ---
(D) No one be-(Bm7)lived in (G)me as (D)much as Mom
See, (Bm)she worked overtime to (A)buy my (G)first guitar
When the (D)angels called her (Bm7)home, my sister (A) (D)asked if I would speak
But there were (Bm) no words to say how much (A) she meant (G) to me (A) ---
(Chorus)
So I (D) sang, "It Is (Bm) Well (F#m)With My (D)Soul"
And I (Bm)played, "I'm So (G)Tired Of (D)Being A-(A)lone"
'Cause (G)those were Mama's favor-(F#m)ite songs
And (Bm)what I felt would (E)take too long to (G)say (A) ---
So I (D) sang (G)
(Tag)
Yes, I (D) sang, (G) so I --- (D)sang -----
