Can I Be Him

Tom: A

 A                    E
You walked into the room
                            Dadd9
And now my heart has been stolen
 A                   E                     Dadd9
You took me back in time to when I was unbroken
                  F#m
Now you're all I want
                E                  Dadd9
And I knew it from the very first moment
                   F#m                     E
Cause a light came on when I heard that song
                   Dadd9
And I want you to sing it again

[Chorus]
A                   E
I swear that every word you sing
                Dadd9
You wrote them for me
     A                  E
Like it was a private show
                     Dadd9
But I know you never saw me
                     F#m              E
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
                      Dadd9
Will you be there to sing it again
      A                 E                       Dadd9
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories
          A
Can I be him

[Verse 2]
A                     E                          Dadd9
I heard there was someone but I know he don't deserve you
A                     E                Dadd9
If you were mine I'd never let anyone hurt you
                   F#m                 E
I wanna dry those tears, kiss those lips
                          Dadd9
It's all that I've been thinking about
                   F#m                     E
Cause a light came on when I heard that song
                   Dadd9
And I want you to sing it again

[Chorus]
A                   E
I swear that every word you sing
                Dadd9
You wrote them for me
     A                  E
Like it was a private show
                     Dadd9
But I know you never saw me
                     F#m                E
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
                      Dadd9
Will you be there to sing it again
      A                 E                       Dadd9
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories

[Bridge]
             F#m  C#m7
Can I be the one
             F#m  C#m7
Can I be the one
             F#m  C#m7
Can I be the one
    Dadd9             E
Oh, can I, can I be him
          A         E
Won't you sing it again
             Dadd9
Oh, when you sing it again
          Dadd9
Can I be him
    A         E
Oh, sing it again, yeah
             Dadd9
Oh, when you sing it again
         Dadd9
Can I be him

[Chorus]
A                   E
I swear that every word you sing
                Dadd9
You wrote them for me
     A                  E
Like it was a private show
                     Dadd9
But I know you never saw me
                     F#m                E
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
                      Dadd9
Will you be there will you be there
    A                 E                       Dadd9
Can I be the one you talk about in all your stories

[Outro]
          A   E
Can I be him
          Dadd9
Can I be him
          A   E
Can I be him
          Dadd9
Can I be him
