To hear a song like that, To have it spoon your sad little heart
GG
It didn't give me a better outlook on life but it told me: "I've been there too, and I turned it to art"
CDEm
And that made all the difference to me
CDG
That made all the difference to me
GG
And I forgot about songs, I forgot about what they are to me
GG
I forgot how they hold me, How they sooth me and carry me
CG
I forgot about violins, I forgot how they see me
CEm
Try me and taunt me, And how they finally breathe me
CG
I forgot about chord changes Where the base tone stays intact
CEm
I forgot about drums and Voices with a tendency to crack
CDEm
They make all the difference to me
CDG
They make all the difference to me
CEm
There was this September When all broke through
DEmDC
Turned out all my truths had worn thin, I dangled by a thread from within
EmD
But I heard a violin
CEm
"I'll hold you my child", The song said, and it did
DEmDC
It stroke my forehead with pale hands and Slowly carried me to the BridgeEmD
And as the Chorus arrived I let go - oh
G
And you're so young, You're so young and you come up to me
G
And you tell me it helped you through something bad, You say and you hang your head
C
But this song it helped you through
CG
I get home and I kick my books, Fuck you knowledge
CEm
I was never on your team, never one of your fighters
D
I was born a romantic for a reason
G
Not to be loved, To be a songwriter
