G          C               G
 Do you believe, in happy endings?
       Am                  G
Or the mendings, of human hearts?
         C                       G
Oh, I believe, in both I'm certain
      C           G
Because these curtains, are state of the art
                         D        G
If you'd occasionally, happen to spy on me
                            D                G
You'd think I'm having one sided conversations
                        C
But I hear him talking back
               G
You'd think, I may even lack
Some sanity, but maybe, I can't let go



Chorus 1: All single strums

So I'll say
G
I finally wrote your song, at last
D                         D#dim
Sorry, that this one came out so sad, every tear I had
C                         Cm                       G
Was shed for the man that gave me a better sense

Of life and meaning to motivate
D                                     D#dim
There's no short cut to success, I'll wait

For his, guiding hand
C                  Cm
My guardian Angel, until the very end

[Verse 2]
G
I see a cold seat on the couch
                 D
Where I remember that just four years ago around December
D#dim
You sat me down and
                C            Cm
Held me next to you so close
G
How I long for things to be restored
D
To back when times weren't quite this hard
D#dim
In the car that song you sang to me
C                  Cm
Never rang so loud before


D#dim                                    C
Oh, what'd I'd give for just another hug from you
        D#dim                            C    Cm
You may be gone, but love will never die


Chorus 2:  *This is not single strums*

So I'll say

G
I finally wrote your song, at last
D                         D#dim
Sorry, that this one came out so sad, every tear I had
C                         Cm                       G
Was shed for the man that gave me a better sense

Of life and meaning to motivate
D                                     D#dim
There's no short cut to success, I'll wait

For his, guiding hand
C                  Cm
My guardian Angel, until the very end


Bridge:

*PM the starred chords*

*F#                  *Em
Tears can't run dry, when I start to cry
*A      G                   C
When I hear people speak of how you'd be so proud of me
E
And how I hope this song will reach your ears
Dm
I battled all my darkest fears
G
I once was blind but now it's clear,
C             Cm
Wherever I go I know that you'll be near


Chorus 3: You can choose to just play the chords single strummed until "Was shed for the
man..." or you can play it this way:

You just play the A tab and the Fmaj9 tab twice
     G (x2)                D
Fmaj9 (x2)

C                         Cm                       G
Was shed for the man that gave me a better sense

Of life and meaning to motivate
D                                     D#dim
There's no short cut to success, I'll wait

For his, guiding hand
C                  Cm                 G
My guardian Angel, until the very end
D                  D#dim
Oh, until the very end
C                  Cm             G
My guardian angel, until the very end
