So Many Times

(Key: G Major)
(Tempo: Slow ballad, emotional and tender)

[Verse 1]

G
So many times, I called your name,
Em
So many nights, I took the blame,
C
Echoes of love down a long, empty hall,
D
So many times, I thought you'd call.

[Verse 2]

G
So many dreams, I tried to save,
Em
Built little castles, then watched 'em cave,
C
Wrote you a letter I never did send,
D
So many times, I broke again.

[Chorus]

C G
So many times, I held on tight,
D Em
Told myself wrong could turn to right,
C G
Painted a smile when I felt the fall,
D G
So many times, I lost it all.

[Verse 3]

G
So many songs, I couldn't sing,
Em
Words got too heavy, broke my wings,
C
Sat in the silence where wishes fade,
D
So many times, I just prayed.

[Chorus]

C G
So many times, I held on tight,
D Em
Told myself wrong could turn to right,
C G
Painted a smile when I felt the fall,
D G
So many times, I lost it all.

[Bridge]

Em C
If love had a number, I'd be the sum,
G D
Of all the times I came undone.
Em C
Still here standing, still here strong,
Am D
Still writing you into my songs.

[Final Chorus]

C G
So many times, I held on tight,
D Em
Told myself wrong could turn to right,
C G
Painted a smile when I felt the fall,
D G
So many times, I loved through it all.

[Outro]

C G
So many times...
D G
So many times...

🎸 Musical Feel:
Tender acoustic guitar picking, soft strumming builds gradually.
Maybe a light organ or faint pedal steel for extra heartache.
