Love Song
Sara Bareilles (www.sarabmusic.com)... so good.
I think these chords are pretty close for piano. You have the ascending bass line of
notes F# G, A Bb, C D, E F under the chords during the verses. This is what I figured out
to the recording.
Verse 1
Gm Bb
head under water
Dm
and they tell me
F
to breathe easy for a while
Gm Bb
but breathing gets harder
Dm F
even i know that
Gm Bb
you made room for me
Dm
but its too soon to see
F
if im happy in your hands
Gm Bb Dm F
im unusually hard to hold on to
Prechorus:
Gm Am
blank stares at blank pages
Bb Am
no easy way to say this
Gm Am Bb
you mean well, but you make this hard on me
Chorus:
Gm
i'm not gonna write you a love song
C
'cause you asked for it
F Bb
'cause you need one, you see
Gm
i'm not gonna write you a love song
C
'cause you tell me it's
F
make or break in this
Bb
if you're on your way
Gm F
i'm not gonna write you to stay
Dm G/B
if all you have is leavin' im'a need a better reason
Bb C Gm Bb Dm F
to write you a love song today
Verse 2 (Same as verse 1)
i learned the hard way
that they all say
things you wanna hear
and my heavy heart
sings deep down under you
and your twisted words
your help just hurts
you were not what i thought you were
hello to high and dry
Prechorus:
convinced me to please you
made me think that i need this too
i'm trying to let you hear me as i am
Chorus
i'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
i'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
make or break in this
if your on your way
i'm not gonna write you to stay
if all you have is leavin' im'a need a better reason
to write you a love song today
Bridge:
Dm Am Bb
promise me
F C
you'll leave the light on
Dm Am Bb
to help me see
F C
with daylight, my guide, gone
Dm A(maj) Bb
'cause i believe there's a way
C
you can love me because i say
Chorus:
i wont write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one you see
i'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
is that why you wanted a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one you see
im not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
if your on your way
im not gonna write you to stay
Dm
if your heart is no where in it
C
i dont want it for a minute
Dm
babe ill walk the seven seas
G/B
when i believe that there's a reason
Bb C Gm Bb Dm F
to write you a love song today, today
Hopefully that's a little clearer!!
