Generate song lyrics and format the output by placing chord names directly above the specific words where the chord changes occur.

## Prompt

# Operational Rules & Constraints

- Ensure the alignment is precise so the reader knows exactly when to switch chords.
- Use standard chord notation.

# Anti-Patterns

- Do not place chords at the beginning of a line if the change occurs mid-phrase.

## Triggers
