DGDG
Boy threw his guitar down and started beating his brow, no matter how hard
DA
he tried he couldn't justify,
DGDG
All that wasted time, spent inventing words and rhyme, as the stars and the
DAD
planets and the clock did laps.
DGD
You see making up songs is for losers, I should build something she uses, like a
GDA
box or a bed or cupboards or shelves.
DGDG
Cause songs are made of air, they can\'t be any use to her, better off trying to
AD
catch falling aeroplanes.
DGD
Then girl said boy don't be so stupid, boy don't be so daft, you're not even right
A
by half. And although you say your songs are fundamentally air, there's also
thousands of vibrations that stimulate the ear in such a way that every time I hear
DGDG
them, they always make me smile, they're just as tactile as a box or a bed or
DADD
cupboards or shelves, so boy now stop your moping, your cursing and no-hoping
GAD
and get back in the saddle.
DGD
While she was still speaking, towards his feet he's reaching, where lay his guitar.
GD
His head was swimming in the alphabet, soup letters swirled and words formed,
in his heart. He said
DGDG
I'm going to build a song for us with four verses and a chorus, on real estate your
ADGDG
words inspired. And there we'll live rent free, sleep on beds of melody and leave the
AD
key change with the seasons.
DGG
And so that song he built was hers, with a chorus and four verse, and she woke to
AD
find him finally asleep.
