I’ve been a-live for-ev-er,
8 -7* -7 -7 -6* 7 -7
And I wrote the ve-ry first song.
-5 -7* -7 7 7 -6 7 -7
I put the words and the mel-o-dies to-geth-er,
-7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7 7 7 -6 7 -7
I am mus-ic, And I write the songs.
-5 -6 -7 7 -5 -7 7 -6 7
I write the songs that make the whole world sing.
-6 -6 7 7 -7 -7 -6 -7 -7* -7*
I write the songs of love and spec-ial things.
6 6 -6 -6 7 7 -5 -7* -7-6 -7* -7
I write the songs that make the young girls cry.
-6 -6 7 7 -7 -7 -6 7 -6 7
I write the songs, I write the songs.
7 7 -6 7 -6 -6 -6 -6
My home lies deep with-in you,
8 -7* -7 -7 -6* 7 -7
And I’ve got my own place in your soul.
-5 -7* -7 7 7 -6 7 -7 -7
Now, when I look out through your eyes,
-7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7 7 7
I’m young a-gain, ev-en though I’m ve-ry old.
-6 -7 7 7 7 -5 -7 7 -6 -6 7
Chorus
Oh my mu-sic makes you dance
-6 -6 6 6 6 6 6
And gives your spir-it to take a chance,
-4 6 -4 6 6 -4 6 -4 6
And I wrote some rock ’n’ roll so you can move.
6 6 -6* -7 -8 -7 -7 -10* 9* 9* 10-88*
Mu-sic fills your heart,
7 7 7 -5 7
Well, that’s a real fine place to start.
7 7 -5 7 7 7 -5 7
It’s from me, it’s for you,
7 -7 8 7 -7 8
It’s from you, it’s from me,
7 -7 8 7 -7 8
It’s a world wide sym-pho-ny.
8 8 -9 9 9 -9 9 10
I write the songs that make the whole world sing.
-7 -7 -8 -8 8* 8* -8 8* -9 -9
I write the songs of love and spec-ial things.
7* 7* -7 -7 -8 -8 6 -98* -7 -98*
I write the songs that make the young girls cry.
-7 -7 -8 -8 8* 8* -7 -8 -7 -8
I write the songs, I write the songs.
-8 -8 -7 -8 -7 -7 -7 -7
I am mu-sic, and I write the songs.
