This is my song, and not only that, but the first song I've ever written. I'm posting it
on Ultimate Guitar mostly for personal use. It's a little cumbersome to play it from my
notebook and turn the pages at the same time. You can try to play it, but I imagine it
would be difficult not knowing what it sounds like or what the vocal melody is. The strum
pattern is similar to Piano Man by Billy Joel. This song is my intellectual property, so
please don't attempt to make a recording of it and claim it as your own.

If it's only me,

A small bird in a tree,

Now, were it to be

I'd fly out of this tree

I'd have ne'er met you

For you and I were fated

To fall

And for you, I swear,

I always will be here

Because now time's

Running out

However many breaths I'll waste

I'll always be here

For you now...

Of your love

C
From your love
C G
Because all that I need
C
Is your love
