[Strophe]
C                       E  F 
Remember when you'd sing 
F 
Just for the fuck of it? 
    Am                 E7 F 
Any joy it would bring 
F 
Honey, the look of it 
       C                   E  F 
Was as sweet as the sound 
F                               Am                  E7 F 
Your head tilt back, your funny mouth to the clouds 
           C                      E       F 
I couldn't hope to know that song and all its words 
                           Am                     E7      F 
Wouldn't claim to feel the same it felt the first time it was heard 
            C                    E      F 
I couldn't name that feeling carried in that voice 
                        Am                  E7           F 
Was it that or just the act of making noise that brought you joy?
[Pre-Refrain]
                          F 
You don't have to sing it right 
                   G 
Who could call you wrong? 
                             C 
You put your emptiness to melody 
     Em             F 
Your awful heart to song 
                          F                       G 
You don't have to sing it nice, but honey sing it strong 
                              C 
At best, you'll find a little remedy 
          Em                  F 
At worst, the world will sing along
[Refrain]
             C  Em F 
So honey, sing, sing 
Am          Em    F 
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing 
   C  Em F 
Sing, sing 
Am          Em    F 
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
[Strophe]
C                       E F 
Remember when you'd sing 
F 
Before we moved to it? 
         Am                  E7 F 
And we'd scuff up our shoes 
F 
Honey, the groove of it 
        C               E F 
Was whatever you choose 
F 
I want to be your lover 
       Am               E7 F 
Or the fisherman's blues
[Pre-Refrain]
                          F 
You don't have to sing it right 
                   G 
Who could call you wrong? 
                             C 
You put your emptiness to melody 
     Em             F 
Your awful heart to song 
                          F                       G 
You don't have to sing it nice, but honey sing it strong 
                              C 
At best, you'll find a little remedy 
          Em                  F 
At worst, the world will sing along
[Refrain]
             C  Em F 
So honey, sing, sing 
Am          Em    F 
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing 
   C  Em F 
Sing, sing 
Am          Em    F 
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
[Pont]
          F                        G 
Who could ask to be unbroken or be brave again 
           C            Em               F 
Or, honey, hope even on this side of the grave again? 
              F                              G 
And who could ask you to be sound or to feel saved again 
         C                Em              F 
Or stick around until you hear that music play again?
[Refrain]
             C  Em F 
So honey, sing, sing 
Am          Em    F 
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing 
   C  Em F 
Sing, sing 
Am          Em    F 
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing 
   C  Em F 
Sing, sing 
Am          Em    F 
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing 
   C  Em F 
Sing, sing 
Am          Em    F 
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
[Outro]
C                       E  F 
Remember when you'd sing 
F 
Just for the love of it? 
    Am                 E7 F 
Any joy it would bring
