Verse 1 A When it seems like the world is against you C#m And all your plannin ain't worked like it's meant to D When you wanna drop this E No worries I got this A Call out to me as I'm wondering by C#m I'll sit down and dry your eyes D And I know the other guys got cash they can spend E But if you lend me a pen
Chorus 1 AC#m I can write you a poem I can sing you a song DE I don't know if that's important might not pay the bills for long AC#m But I'll still write you a poem I'll still sing you a song DE When you're tired and lonely and it's like you can't go on AC#mDE I'll sing for you
Verse 2 A I swear like a sailor and I fight like a champ C#m Eat like a king and I drink like a tramp D Well I can't do construction E Find it hard to follow instructions A Can't pick you up cause I ain't got a car C#m But I can write your name in the stars D And I ain't got much to give to you E But there's one thing I can do
Chorus 2 AC#m I can write you a poem I can sing you a song DE I don't know if that's important might not pay the bills for long AC#m But I'll still write you a poem I'll still sing you a song DE When you're feeling unimportant like you don’t belong A I'll sing for you

Chorus 3 AC#m I can write you a poem I can sing you a song DE I don't know if that's important might not pay the bills for long AC#m But I'll still write you a poem I'll still sing you a song DE When you're life don’t seem worth living and it’s like you can’t go on
Outro D When your nights go so quickly E And your days seem so long A I'll sing for you
