Lyrics & Chords

This Is What I Play (approximately)

Am  F                               C       G

 40 Reasons why I often wonder

Am                            F

About the girl who led me on

C               G

Thru the thunder and the rain.

Am F / C  G

{Chorus}

D       C                       G

Why don't you ever hold me?

D    C                             G   

I…...don't believe you, don't believe you told me.

Em       G

Forty reasons

Em            C      

Why I am singing

Em              G

My head is turning and

Em               C  

My heart is stinging

 Am     F   C                       G

And you…….got me on a string

Am                F                     C            G

That kind of love can be a lonely thing.

Am                         F                    C                    G

And it's growing old that gives people the blues

Am                        F           C                  G

And it's growing up that gets me confused.

{Chorus}

Em              G                            Em               C  

I've been working and I sit for a while

Em                  G                  Em                    C

And my mind wanders to your distant smile

Am       F            C             G

I bend down to tie my shoe

Am                         F                       C                    G

Lord knows right then that I am thinking of you

Am           F                      C              G

And I am listening to my favorite band.

Am            F                      C                     G

And I was wishing I was holding your hand.

{chorus}

Am        F                      C                            G

I keep hoping that one day you'll see

Am                  F                     C                  G

And you'll go looking for a man like me, cause

Am     G        F                       C

I am like a song without notes

               Am     G     F    C

Without you - without you.

Am       G                     F                       C

I am like a little boy without hope,

               Am     G     F     C    

Without you, without you.

Am    G              F                                    C

I am like the moon without the sun,

Am                  G                     F                              C

Dark and lonely, cause you're the only one.

Am           G                       F         C

Dark and lonely without you.
