[Strophe]
E                    A 
I wanna write you a song, 
E             B                A 
one as beautiful as you are sweet. 
A               E            B7           
Just a hint of pain for the feeling that  
  E 
I get 
              A     A         B         
when you are gone, I wanna write you a  
  E 
song.

E                    A 
I wanna lend you my coat, 
E              B             A 
one that's as soft as your cheek. 
    A                 E 
So when the world is cold, 
         B7             E             A 
you will have a hiding place you can go. 
A        B           E 
I wanna lend you my coat.

E                    A 
I wanna build you a boat,

One as strong as you are free. 
   A             B              B7       
So anytime you think that your heart is  
       E 
gonna sink 
             A     A        B           
you know it won't, I wanna build you a  
 E 
boat.
