C               Em                      F               F


[Verse]
         C              Em                      F               F
When you ask me to      sing
                C                       Em      F               F
It feels like my heart would burst with pride
      C                  Em                     F               F
And I look at your face
    C         Em                                F               F
and tears come  to my eyes
C                    Em                         F               F
All that's harsh and wrong in my life
C          Em           F               F
melts into one sweet    song
       C            Em                  F     F
And my love spreads wings like a        glad bird
  C                     Em                      F               F
flying over     the road

C               Em                              F               F
I know you take pleasure in     my singing
C                               Em              F               F
I know that only when I         sing do you     hear me


        C                       Em
then I  touch things I can't    touch
       F                        F               C               Em      F       F
I touch parts of you that       I can't really  touch
C                   Em     F        F
Then drunk with the joy of singing
C                   C
I forget myself and

Em      F                  C                    Em      F
call    you             my friend
                C                               Em      F               F
I'm here to     sing you songs
             C          Em                      F               F
From this room I have a corner seat
        C                    Em                 F               F
In your world I have no real work to do
                    C                   Em              F
My life is just to  sit         and     sing these      songs
C                               Em              F                       F
that have                       no              purpose

C                    Em         F                       F
