VERSES:

	        F		    Bbm 			Ab7
I've been alive forever and I wrote the very first song.

My home lives deep within you and I have my own room in your sould

Gm7	     C		      Fm			Bb7			Eb11	 E7
I put the words and the melodies together, I'm music and I write the songs.

And we're such good friends when I look out through your windows,
                                  you make me young again even though I'm very old.

CHORUS:

Ab				      Bbm7
I write the songs that make the whole world sing, 

Eb7          Eb11      Eb7  		     Ab
I write the songs of love and special things.

Fm					Bbm7         Bb7
I write the songs that make those young girls cry.

Eb11		Eb7		    Ab
I write the songs, I write the songs.

Oh my music makes you dance, gives you spirit to take a chance.
