Lyrics

This one ’ll nev er sell, they’ll (F#sus)nev er (F#7)un der (Bm)stand,

I don’t e ven (A)sing it well, I (Bm)try, but I just can’t.

But I (G)sing it ev ’ry (A7sus)night,

and I (F#7)fight to keep it (Bm)in,

’cause this one’s for you,

(Em7)this (A)one’s for (D)you.

I’ve done a hun dred songs, from (F#sus)fan ta (F#7)sies to (Bm)lies,

but this one’s so (A)real for me that (Bm)I’m the one who cries.

But I (G)sing it ev ’ry (A7sus)night,

and I (F#7)fight to hide the (Bm)tears,

’cause this one’s for you,

(Em7)this (A)one’s for (D)you.

(D)you.

This one’s for (E7)you where ev er you (Dmaj7)are,

to (Bm7)say that noth ing’s (C#7)been the same (F#)since we’ve been a part.

This one’s for all the love we once (Dmaj7)knew,

like ev ’ry thing (Em)else I have,

this one’s for you, oh.

This one’s to say that all I can (Dmaj7)do

is (Gmaj7)hope that you will (Em)hear me sing ’cause this one’s for you.

Oh,

This one’s for you where ev er you (Dmaj7)are,

to (Bm7)say that noth ing’s (C#7)been the same (F#m)since we’ve (G#dim)been a (F#)part.

This one’s for you where ev er you (Dmaj7)are,

to (Bm7)say that noth ing’s (C#7)been the same (F#m)since we’ve (G#dim)been a (F#)part.
