The Five Chord

It all depends on what you're after
Write out the notes, measure for measure
Not your favorite instrument
But no less essential

You need some time, time to perfect it
I need some wine, but it isn't noon yet
What's the use in arguing
If it's not to see who wins?

Make your voice an instrument
Pick out a good note
And play it as loud as you can

I need a drink
Some time to think it over
Man, it's getting heavy in here
Could you play the five chord?
Please and thank you

I need a drink
Some time to think it over
Man, it's getting heavy in here
Could you play the five chord?
Say please and thank you
