[Intro]
E   A


[Verse 1]
E                             A
A guitar won't change the world
            B                          E
But there's nights that I feel like it has
                               A
A singer can't put lonely in a song
  B                         E
Until he's felt lonely like that
C#m                 B
Callused fingers, a poured out heart
      A                      B
And a dream much harder than you ever thought


[Chorus]
      A                          B7
Oh, I don't know why I do what I do
       E                         A
I just know that I'm in right or wrong
                                   B7
Somewhere in these chords lies the truth
      A         B            E
For a guitar, a singer and a song


[Verse 2]
E                           A
Well, it's not always gonna rhyme
    B                        E
And sometimes it won't be in tune
                                       A
And the damn thing will keep you up at night
                 B                        A              B
You think you're singing the song but the song's singing you


[Chorus]
      A                          B7
Oh, I don't know why I do what I do
       E                         A
I just know that I'm in right or wrong
                                   B7
Somewhere in these chords lies the truth
      A         B            E
For a guitar, a singer and a song


[Guitar Solo]
E  A  B  E
A  B  E


[Verse 3]
E                            A
So I'll write you a thousand songs
         B7                  E
And I'll play you a thousand shows
                           A
It'll feel like a thousand years
            B7                     E
Some will remember me and some won't


[Out-Chorus]
E     A                  B7
But I know why I do what I do
           E                        A
Oh and I'm in till the day that I'm gone
                              B7
And I pray when they speak my name
            C#m
That I live on
         A         B                E
Oh, in a guitar, a singer and a song
