* = This Little Riff Leading Into C
I'm Thinking Every G Might Be A G7 Based On The Video, But The Way I Have It Written Here; You'll
Strum G Normally, And G7 Marks The Little Flourish He Adds To It. For The Outro, C Starts On The
8Th Fret, Thenyou'll Just Walk It Up One Fret At A Time.
Intro
Verse
They Say Ambition Is An Enemy Of Greatness
And Greatness Is An Enemy Of Fame
When I Pick Up My Guitar And I Try To Write A Song
I Think Of What My Mentor Used To Say
Who Fucking Gives A Rat's Ass, Steve, Just Write A Love Song
Cause They'll Keep Your Belly Full And Your Wallet Lined
Don't Bother These Nice People With Your Sad Sack Songs
If You Ask Me I Think They're Just A Waste Of Time
Inspiration Is The Best Friend Of My Sorrow
And Sorrow Is The Best Friend Of My Drink
Well I Want To Look Myself In The Eye Tomorrow
But I'm Too Worried Of What Other Folks Will Think
Who Fucking Gives A Rat's Ass, Steve, Just Write A Love Song
See A Counselor If You Need To Ease Your Troubled Mind
And Can You Please Sit Over There, I Don't Want You Crying In My Beer
Do You Want Some Cheese With All That Whine?
Solo
Verse
There's A Song That I Keep Trying To Sing To No-One
But I'm Afraid That It's Too Short Or It's Too Long
And To Add To All The Things That I'm Afraid Of,
The Devil Stopped Sending Me His Songs!
And The Troubles In My Heart Need To Get Let Out
The Troubles In My Heart Need To Escape
And I Never Liked Writing Poetry And I Never Liked Doing Pottery
And God Knows That I Never Learned To Paint
So Every Now And Then, I'll Sing A Sad Song
'Cause It Keeps My Spirit Light And My Conscience Clean
And If You Don't Care To Hear I Don't Mind If You Go Out For Some Air
'Cause I'm Happy That You're Happier Than Me.
I'm Happy That You're Happier Than Me.
I'm Happy That You're Happier Than Me.
