Great song, simple to play and sing, wish I wrote it.

Chord Pro: 
 
      D                                G           D               G 
Boy threw his guitar down and started beating his brow, no matter how hard 
 
                      D    A 
he tried he couldn't justify, 
 
D                              G                  D             G 
All that wasted time, spent inventing words and rhyme, as the stars and the 
 
D                 A         D 
planets and the clock did laps. 
 
 D                                                 G                 D 
You see making up songs is for losers, I should build something she uses, like a 
 
G                 D            A 
box or a bed or cupboards or shelves. 
 
        D                                   G          D           G 
Cause songs are made of air, they can't be any use to her, better off trying to 
 
                A     D 
catch falling aeroplanes. 
 
 
D                                       G                                D 
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 
 
            D                             G          D         G         
them, they always make me smile, they're just as tactile as a box or a bed or  
 
 D             A          D                              G             D  
cupboards or shelves, so boy now stop your moping, your cursing and no-hoping 
 
     G               A  D 
and get back in the saddle. 
 
 
D                                 G                   D 
While she was still speaking, towards his feet he's reaching, where lay his guitar. 
 
                                        G                               D 
His head was swimming in the alphabet, soup letters swirled and words formed, 
 
 
in his heart. He said 
 
 
               D                            G             D         G 
I'm going to build a song for us with four verses and a chorus, on real estate your 
 
 A        D                                               G           D          G 
words inspired. And there we'll live rent free, sleep on beds of melody as the stars 
 
                          A       D 
and the planets and the clock do laps. 
 
 
              D                             G                D             G 
And so that song he built was hers, with a chorus and four verse, and she woke to 
 
           A        D 
find him finally asleep. 
 
 
This is a pretty simplified, one person playing, version of the song, but it still 
sounds good.
