E   B   A

[Verse 1]
  E                   B
A young man strumming his guitar
C#m           A
In the corner of a bar
E               B
Singing 'bout a broken heart
    F#m       A
For hours and hours
   E              B
By closing time I face the fact
     C#m        A
That if I had a gift like that
  E                 B
I know that I could win her back
            F#m
But there's some things I can't do
   A              B
So now it's up to you

[Chorus]
E             F#m
Write one for me
A               B
Put the perfect words together
E             F#m
Write one for me
    A         B
The melody to last forever
G#m                              A
I don't have the song, so if you please
E                  B             A
Tell her she's the right one for me

[Verse 2]
   E                B
It does no good for you to play
  C#m              A
A pretty song like Yesterday
       E                 B
'cause that's not what I need to say
F#m          A
To get her to love me
E                 B
I'm too scared to tell her so
C#m               A
So if you'd be my Cyrano
    E             B
And send to her a tune, I know
    F#m
That she will change her mind
   A             B
So take a little time and

[Chorus]
E             F#m
Write one for me
A               B
Put the perfect words together
E             F#m
Write one for me
    A         B
The melody to last forever
G#m                              A
I don't have the song, so if you please
E                  B             E
Tell her she's the right one for me

[Bridge]
   Dm                            A
If I could write a poem, I would send one
(If I could write a poem, I would send one)
    Dm                          A
But I don't have a pen, I can depend on
(But I don't have a pen, I can depend on)

F#m             A             B
I can't come up with a single line
             F#m
So would you write the song
    E                     B
And tell her that it's my mine, all mine

[Chorus]
E             F#m
Write one for me
A               B
Put the perfect words together
E             F#m
Write one for me
    A         B
The melody to last forever
G#m                              A
I don't have the song, so if you please
E                  B             C#m
Tell her she's the right one for me
E                  B             A                 E
Tell her she's the right one for me (write one for me)
