A Song For You Chords

A Song For You by Donny Hathaway
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Am                             E7/G#
   I've been so many places in my life and time
C/G                         D7/F#
  I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
F                           Em7         Dm7                 Em7
  I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching
Dm7                Em7
   But we're alone now
                F/G           C  E7
And I'm singing this song to you
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am                         E7/G#
   I know your image of me is what I hope to be
C/G                      D7/F#
  I treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
F                               Em7
  There's no one more important to me
Dm7                    Em7
   Baby, can't you see through me
Dm7                  Em7
   Cause we're alone now
                 F/G           C  E7
 And I'm singing this song to you
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Am                        E7/G#
   You taught me precious secrets
     C/G                    F#m7b5
Of a true love, withholding nothing
F                 G6               C     Em7
  You came out in front when I was hiding
    Am              Am/G#
But now I'm so much better and if
   C/G              F#m7b5
My words don't come together
F             Em7              Dm               G7sus4
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
Am                      E7/G#
   I love you in a place where there's no space or time
C/G                       D7/F#
  I love you for my life, you're a friend of mine
F                      Em7
  And when my life is over
  Dm7                 Em7      Dm7
Remember when we were together. We were alone
Em7               F/G           C
And I was singing this song to you
 
Dm7             Em7                Bb  G#      A7   Cmaj7
  We were alone and I was singing this song to you
