3 Minute Song

Intro: G  B7  Em  C

Verso 1:
G             B7          Em    
I tried to write a song, and 
        C
keep it 3 minutes long
G            B7           Em    
Get in, get out, nobody gets 
     C      D
hurt
G            B7            Em   
And I tried a thousand times to 
       C
fit God between the lines
G            B7             Em  
But I'm finding out that doesn't
        C
 really work

Pré-Refrão:
D D/C G/B Am7
I just don't have the words to say, 
cause words only get in my way

Refrão:
G       Am         C             
I must apologize, I have the hardest
  D
 time
G         Am          C         
Finding something to define a 
      D
God that I can't define
G        Am           C D       
And even if I could, it would 
  Am7
take way too long
Continues after the ad
Cm
If all I've got's a 3 minute song

Verso 2:
G             B7          Em    
I've got a hundred metaphors, 
        C
and if I had a million more
G             B7          Em    
I could never ever seem to sum 
        C     D
this up
G             B7          
Besides, how can some melody 
Em            C
communicate eternity?
G             B7          Em    
It's like trying to fit the 
        C
ocean in a cup

Pré-Refrão:
D                           C    
I just don't have the words to 
                               Am7
say, cause words only get in my way

Refrão:
G       Am         C             
I must apologize, I have the hardest
  D
 time
G         Am          C         
Finding something to define a 
      D
God that I can't define
G        Am           C D       
And even if I could, it would 
  Am7
take way too long

Ponte:
Em              D            Em 
I would like to dumb this down 
             A
to 3 chords, or maybe 4
C                 Cm
But I've tried and I can't and I 
won't cause there will always be 
more
G        Am       C   Cm
So I apologize,
G        Am      C     Cm
I can't seem to get it right

Refrão:
G       Am         C             
I must apologize, I have the hardest
  D
 time
G         Am          C         
Finding something to define a 
      D
God that I can't define
G        Am           C D       
And even if I could, it would 
  Am7
