[Verse]

      Dm
For you, dear
                       C
I'd lose my tongue to talk, dear
                    Dm
No whispers in the dark, dear
            C
For you I would

        Dm
And if you, dear
                    C
Found my words were unclear
                   Dm
And my voice you can't hear
           C
For you I would


[Chorus]

Dm           Bb
Write you a poem
Dm               Bb
Just to let you know
Dm                   Bm       C
I would write you a poem, my love


[Verse]

     Dm
For you, dear
                     C
I'd lose my legs to walk, dear
                       Dm
No footprints in the chalk, dear
           C
For you I would

           Dm
And it's true, dear
               C
If your demons are near
                    Dm
And you're drowning in tears
           C
For you I would


[Chorus]

Dm          Bb
Build you a boat
Dm                  Bb
Just to keep you afloat
Dm                   Bb       C
I would build you a boat, my love
