D A Bm G 2x

[Verse 1]
D     A       Bm                G
I sat down to play a chord or two
D          A
And try to find some words
     Bm                  G
That I could sing for you
D             A
Cause I'm all out of jokes
    Bm                       G
And you're still feeling blue
    D A*   G*
Oh, I'm afraid this is the best that I could do

[Verse 2]
D    A         Bm                G
I pretend that I don't have a clue
D          A            Bm                Bm
When I see every single thing he puts you through
D       A              Bm                   G
Until I find the nerve to state my point of view
      D A*  G*                                 D A
Well, I'm afraid this is the best that I can do
Bm     G  D
Dodododododo
A   Bm     G G/F# Em

[Bridge]
       F#m                 G
Child, don't you lose that sparkle
       A        F#      Bm
Let me set your spirit free
       G         A
With a happy melody
Em            A             G
And don't you waste another precious second
E            A
Wishing on a star
G                           D  A Bm
You don't have to look that far
G           D    A Bm G
No no no no no no

[Verse 3]
D*   A*             Bm*        G*
This conversation's long overdue
D*    A*             Bm*                G*
I can see it in your eyes you feel it to
D           A           Bm             G
So, I would say it, but now my song is through
    D A*  G*
And I'm afraid this was the best that I could do
