  			"Pop Song" by Angry Johnny And The Killbillies 

D                                     G 
Sometimes i wish that i could write a pop song 
D                          G 
Too bad i never learned to play 
    D                                      G 
The song that the whole world could sing along 
    Bm             A                 G 
And i could be kingship for just one day 

    D                           G 
But every time i try to write a pop song 
D                             G 
Somebody in it always ends up crying 
D                             G 
Somebody always ends up brokenhearted 
           Bm                  A              G 
And by the end of the song somebody is always dying 

     C                                    G 
It's hard to write a pop song when you're going down the drain 
C                                    G 
Hard to write a pop song when you're feeling so much pain 
C                                  G 
Hard to write a pop song when your true love says goodbye 
     C                       A 
It's hard to write a pop song 
     D               G 
It's hard to write a lie 

D                                     G 
Sometimes i wish that i could write a pop song 
D                                 G 
Catchy tune that's got nothing to say 
  D                          G 
A stupid simple dime a dozen pop songs 
     Bm                A           G 
Just one good hook and id be on my way 

D                                        G 
Sometimes i wish that i could write that pop song 
D                                          G 
Then all the girls would fall in love with me 
    D                             G 
But nobody really wants to hear a pop song 
        Bm               A          G 
Full of chainsaws broken hearts and misery 

     C                                    G 
It's hard to write a pop song when you're going down the drain

Hard to write a pop song when you're feeling so much pain 
C                                  G 
Hard to write a pop song when your true love says goodbye 
     C                        A 
It's hard to write a pop song 
     D               G 
It's hard to write a lie 

     C                                    G 
It's hard to write a pop song when you've lost all that you had

It's hard bein' happy when you are feeling so damn bad 
     C                                  G 
it's hard to write a pop song when your heart's been thrown away 
C                        A 
Another fuckin' pop song 
    D           G 
Who needs it anyway 
     C                        A 
Just another fuckin' pop song 
    D           G 
who needs it anyway 
        C                        A 
i could write a million pop songs 
       D                G
