1. Darling, till you came along, mine was just a plain song.

E Bm E7

Had the rhythm, but I didn’t have the flair

A Am C#m E

My brass was sounding tinnish, my symphony unfinished

Gdim Bbdim F#m B7

My chord was so diminished it was hardly even there.

E F#m G#m E G#m F#m

Like a balloon that’s been deflated, I was flat, but fated.

E Bm E7

To find a merry air to accompany

A Am E C#m F#m B7 E E F#m G#m E E G#m F#m

But I never heard the beauty of my song, until you sang it to me.

E E F#m G#m E E G#m F#m

2. I wrote songs in clutches, but never one that touches.

E Bm E7

Though I tried as much as I was able.

A Am C#m E

I slaved like Cinderella, an a capella fella;

Gdim Bbdim F#m B7

Now I’m a million seller on your label.

A Am E

Yours was the throat for which I wrote

Gdim Bbdim Dbdim

each note unknowingly.

A Am E C#m F#m B7 G#

But I never heard the beauty of my song, until you sang it to me,

B7 E E F#m G#m E E G#m F#m E

until you sang it to me,
