F                    A#
I wanna write you a song
F         A#         C       A#
One as beautiful as you are sweet
      A#             F            C
With just a hint of pain for the feeling
        Dm       C       Dm
that I get when you are gone
A#        C          F
I wanna write you a song

I wanna lend you my coat
One that's as soft as your cheek
So when the world is cold you will
have a hiding place you can go
I wanna lend you my coat

Chorus:
A# F C             Dm              A# F C
Ooh, everything I need I get from you
A# F      C             Dm          A# F C
Ooh, and giving back is all I wanna do

I wanna build you a boat
One as strong as you are free
So any time you think that your
heart is gonna sink, you know it won't
I wanna build you a boat

Chorus:
Ooh, everything I need I get from you
Ooh, and giving back is all I wanna do, ooh

Ooh, everything I need I get from you
Ooh, and giving back is all I wanna do, ooh

I wanna write you a song
One to make your heart remember me
So any time I'm gone, you can listen
to my voice and sing along
I wanna write you a song
I wanna write you a song
