I Write the Songs

Barry Manilow

[Intro]  - - [Verse 1]
[C] I've been a-[B7]-live forever, [Em] And I wrote the [A] very first [D7] song.   [F#] I put the [F#7] words and the [Bm] melodies together I am [E7] music and I write the [Em] songs [A7] 
 
{ CHORUS }
[D] I write the songs that make the whole world [Em] sing
[A] I write the songs of love and [G] special [D] things
[Bm] I write the songs that make the young girls [E] cry
[Em] I write the [A] songs, I write the [D] songs
 
[Verse 2]
[C] My home lies [B7] deep within you, [Em] and I've got my own place in your [D7] soul.  [F#] Now when I [F#7] look out [Bm] through your eyes 
I’m [E7] young again, even tho' I'm very [G] old [A7]
 
{ CHORUS }
[Em] I write the [A] songs, I write the [D] songs
 
{ CHORUS }
[Em] I write the [A] songs, I write the [Bm] songs 
I am [Em] music, and [A] I write the [D] songs
