[Verse 1]

E                    A
I wanna write you a song,
E             B                A 
one as beautiful as you are sweet.
A               E            B7            E
Just a hint of pain for the feeling that I get
              A     A         B          E
when you are gone, I wanna write you a song.


[Verse 2]

E                    A
I wanna lend you my coat,
E              B             A
one that's as soft as your cheek.
    A                 E
So when the world is cold,
         B7             E             A
you will have a hiding place you can go.
A        B           E
I wanna lend you my coat.


[Pre-Chorus]

A  E B            C#m              A  E  B
Ooh, everything I need I get from you.
A  E      B             C#m          A  E  B
Ooh, and giving back is all I wanna do.


[Verse 3]

E                    A
I wanna build you a boat,
E         B                A
One as strong as you are free.
   A             B              B7             E
So anytime you think that your heart is gonna sink
             A     A        B           E
you know it won't, I wanna build you a boat.


[Pre-Chorus]

A  E B            C#m              A  E  B
Ooh, everything I need I get from you.
A  E      B             C#m          A  E | Em | D
Ooh, and giving back is all I wanna do.

[Verse 4]

E                    A
I wanna write you a song.
E                 B             A
One to make your heart remember me.
   A            E             B7         B               E
So anytime I'm gone you can listen to my voice and sing along.
A       B            E     A         B          E
I wanna write you a song, I wanna write you a song.
