A                               D           A
Me, I'm just a singer, though I may be well known
    A                                              E
The truth is I'd be nothing without the power of a song
          A                              D              A
I've been blessed with fame and fortune, oh, but in the end
  E             D               A
A song's what I wish I could've been

[Chorus]
  D                      A
A song lives forever and never ever dies
                                           F#m
Sings enemies together and touches so many lives
A                     Bm         C#m              D
Words and melody will always be, long after we're gone
    A          E                D         A
Oh, how I wish I could live the life of a song

[Verse2] 
        A                                   D                  A
I could mend the broke and wounded, I could prove that love is real
    A                                            E
And take someone from China to a Carolina cotton field
        A                          D                A
I could comfort every soldier, hum all the homeless home
        E                   D            A
I could change the world if I was just a song

[Chorus] 
  D                      A
A song lives forever and never ever dies
                                           F#m
Sings enemies together and touches so many lives
          A           Bm         C#m              D
Words and melody will always be, long after we're gone
    A          E                D         A
Oh, how I wish I could live the life of a song

D E F#m D E

[Otro]
A                               Bm
There's an end for me, it's my destiny
         C#m             D
But this song will carry on and it's just three minutes long
    A          E                D         F#m
Oh, how I wish I could live the life of a song
    A          E                D         A
Oh, how I wish I could live the life of a song
