D# G# D# G#

D#                 G#   A#               Gm
It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
Cm               A#          Am      G#
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
D#                 A#         G         Cm
I don't have much money, but boy, if I did
D#             Fm        G#              A#
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

D#           G#         A#                Gm
If I was a sculptor, heh, but then again, no
     Cm             A#         Am          G#
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
D#               A#                 G         Cm
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
D#             Fm      G#               D#
My gift is my song, and this one's for you

Chorus:
A#               Cm       Fm             G#
And you can tell everybody this is your song
A#        Cm             Fm               G#
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
Cm                    A#
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
Am                  G#
That I put down in words,
     D#        Fm            G#            A#
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

D# G# D# G#

D#            G# A#                  Gm
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
        Cm          A#
Well, a few of the verses,
                   Am        G#
Well, they've got me quite cross
D#                  A#
But the sun's been quite kind
  G                 Cm
While I wrote this song
D#                   Fm      G#        A#
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

D#               G#     A#                Gm
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
Cm                A#
You see, I've forgotten
             Am              G#
If they're green or they're blue
D#                 A#              G     Cm
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
D#              Fm         G#         D#
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

Chorus:
A#               Cm       Fm             G#
And you can tell everybody this is your song
A#        Cm             Fm               G#
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
Cm                    A#
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
Am                  G#
That I put down in words,
     D#        Fm            G#            A#
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

Cm                    A#
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
Am                     G#
That I put down in the words,
     D#        Fm            G#            D#
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

G#  D#  G#  D#
