D 
It was just a simple thing 
          C 
She could play and he could sing 
             D 
And when he offered her a ring 
    Am              D 
She offered him a smile 
          D 
And with nothing to their name 
       Em 
But a melody to play 
       Am            G 
They sang the cold away 
       C                D 
And somehow, all the while 

                 C                  G 
They’re making something out of nothing 
         Em        D         C 
When the winter nights were long 
G         Em 
Come what may 
 Am            G 
They found a way 
C         D   G 
Somewhere in a song 

         D 
And the tunes that they performed 
          C 
Gave them shelter from the storm 
         D 
And the waltzes kept them warm 
         Am                 D 
When the drums were all but dry 
         D 
And the harmonies grew strong 
         Em 
When the children came along 
        Am          G 
And somehow in a song 
   C       D 
a Family Survived 

                 C                  G 
They’re making something out of nothing 
         Em        D         C 
When the winter nights were long 
G         Em 
Come what may 
 Am            G 
They found a way 
C         D   G 
Somewhere in a song 

F Bb         C                 F 
  When they finally laid their heads 
            Dm           Bb 
They made a ballad for a bed 
       C                 F 
And it held them ‘til the dawn 
Bb           C            F 
For with notes and words alone 
            Dm           Bb 
They made a Heartbeat of a Home 
             C            F 
And it goes on and on and on 

                 C                  G 
They’re making something out of nothing 
         Em        D         C 
When the winter nights were long 
G         Em 
Come what may 
 Am            G 
They found a way 
C         D   G 
Somewhere in a song
