Original Artist - A Song For Love guitar chord

A Song For Love

Aaron Cain and Robert George

©2002

Capo on 2

G

I get it straight from the still

Am

instead of the general store

C

and the dry, parched Texas wind

D G

drinks it straight from my pores

as a boy, I pushed my life

to the edge and watched it drop

when you're young, you can kill time

but it floats back to the top

still, there must be better

ways of life than my own

I've lived my songs with women

O but I've written them alone

D

this is my song for love,

C G

look fast, like a morning dove

D Em

it's on the wing and gone

D

though man is not immortal,

C G

his songs can pass that portal

D Em

and I hope this one lives on

you've heard of the stranger who

plays it smart by playing dumb

he can wander any crowd

and just let the secrets come

this whiskey heard all my heart

so I poured it on the sand

wasted like a lonely love song

only you can understand

love is feared for its power

more so than its fickle length

the singer's life is blessed when long

but it's his song that has the strength

and this is my song for love,

look fast, like a morning dove

it's on the wing and gone

though man is not immortal,

his songs can pass that portal

and I hope this one lives on

still, there must be better

ways of life than my own

I've lived my songs with women

O but I've written them alone
