I'm pretty sure this is the correct way to do it. it sounds right to me.
Not sure if I have all the lyrics exactly correct.

(C) I'm not ashamed to (G7) say that I've (C) loved (Em) you (Am) well 
I'm not a(D)shamed to let you (G) know (F) 
I'm (C) just a name that's (Am) all, (C) scratched upon your (Am) wall 
You used it (Dm) well but what the (G7) hell 
That's what walls are (C) for 

(C)I'm not ashamed to (G7)listen to the (C)fast (Em)falling (Am)rain 
In the (D)morning upon my (G)win(F)dow 
I'm (C)not afraid to (Am) cry, (C)I'm not ashamed to (Am) try 
To be your (Dm)friend once (G7)again 
That's what's friends are (C)for 

Friends are (Em) for (Am) sorting out the (D) hangups that we (G) hide 
Walls are (Em) for (Am) shutting out the (D) love we feel in(G)side (F) 

(C) I'm not ashamed, (G7)no, to talk it (C)over (Em)once (Am)again 
To re(D)arrange my vocabu(G)lary (F)
But (C)I can't seem to (Am) find, any (C)words to change your (Am)mind 
Because I (Dm)left them all (G7)behind 
And that's what words are (C)for 

Words are (Em)for (Am)explaining the (D)mistakes we might have (G)made 
Names are (Em)for (Am)calling when there's (D)nothing left to (G)say (F)

(C)I'm not ashamed, (G7)no, to say I've (C)loved (Em)you (Am)well 
I'm not a(D)shamed, and yet (G)I know (F) 
I'm (C) just a name that's (Am) all, (C) scratched upon your (Am) wall 
You used it (Dm) well but what the (G7) hell 
That's what walls are (C) for 

(C)I'm not ashamed of (G7)wearing out my (C)old (Em) grey (Am)socks 
Chasing (D) you around the (G) back (F)woods 
I'm (C)not ashamed to (Am)darn nor to (C) proud to find some (Am)yarn 
To sew them (Dm) up once (G7)again 
'Cause that's what socks are (C)for
