Intro

(freely)
[Verse 1] (piano, freely)
C Cdim7 Dm7 G6 C [ Gm7 C ]
I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before  
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud 
All I want is to sing it out loud...
So I say (= Link 1)

Chorus

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing 
C Dm7 Eaug E7 Am [ F ]
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say (= Link 2)
Thank you for the music
Gsus4 G G6 G5 | C Cdim7 | Dm7 G |
For gi- ving it to me

Verse 2

C Cdim7 Dm7 G C [ Gm7 C ]
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk (Mh, mh)
She says I began to sing long before I could talk  
And I've often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can? (= Pre-chorus)
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan
So I say (= Link 1)

Chorus

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing 
C Dm7 Eaug E7 Am [ F ]
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say (= Link 2)
Thank you for the music
Gsus4 G G6 G5 [ C ]
For gi- ving it to me

Middle 8

I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a cha-a- ance!
(= Link 1)

Chorus

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
