    Dm
For you, dear
                   C
Lose my tongue to talk, dear
No whisper seeing
    Dm
The talk, dear
        C
a few hours

And if you, dear
Found my words were unclear
And my voice you
Can't hear
A few hours

Chorus:
Dm            A#   Dm
I write you a poem
 Gm          A#
Just to let you know
Dm      Gm             A#
I will try to write a poem
 C
My love

    Dm
For you, dear
                C
Lose my legs to walk, dear
                      Dm
No footprints in the chalk, dear
           C
For you I would.

And it s true, dear
if your demons are near
And you re drowning in tears
For you I would.

Chorus:
Build you a boat
Just to keep you a float
I would build you a boat
My love.
