This one ’ll nev er sell, they’ll (F#7sus)nev er un der stand,
I don’t e ven sing it well; I (F#7sus)try, but I just can’t.
But I (G)sing it ev ’ry night,
and I (F#7sus)fight to keep it in,
’cause this (A7sus)one’s (A7)for (F#m7)you,
(Em7)this (A11)one’s for (D)you.
I’ve done a hun dred songs, from (F#7sus)fan ta sies to lies,
but this one’s so real for me that (F#7sus)I’m the one who cries.
But I (G)sing it ev ’ry night,
and I (F#7sus)fight to hide the tears,
’cause this (A7sus)one’s (A7)for (F#m7)you,
(Em7)this (A11)one’s for (D)you.
(D)you.
This one’s for you wher ev er you are,
to (Bm7)say that noth ing’s been the same (F#m)since we’ve (C#m7)been a (F#7sus)part.
This one’s for all the love we once (Amaj7)knew,
like ev ’ry thing else I have,
this one’s for you, oh.
This one’s to say that all I can (Amaj7)do
is (Gmaj7)hope that you will hear me sing ’cause this one’s for you.
Oh.
This one’s for you wher ev er you are,
to (Bm7)say that noth ing’s been the same (F#m)since we’ve (C#m7)been a (F#7sus)part.
(F#7)Oh.
This one’s for you wher ev er you are,
to (Bm7)say that noth ing’s been the same (F#m)since we’ve (C#m7)been a (F#7sus)part.
(F#7)Oh.
