Verse
A A
I'm a musical girl, and I like to play
Dbm Dbm
But sometimes things don't quite go my way
D E
And I'm not quite sure what to say (I could give you some advice!)
A A Dbm
I'm all ready to sing, got the chord sequence down
Dbm D
I'm humming the tune, and I'm liking the sound (Me too!)
E
But on my paper there's no words to be found (Look, there's a word there and a word there and a word there!)
Bb Dm
It would sound so neat, with something sorrowful (I'm already crying!)
C Dm
Or perhaps some words about how much I love you (Ooh, thank you very much!)
Bb C
But instead you're stuck, with a song about a song (well kind of)
F
Bb F
I couldn't think of anything else to say
Bb Dm
I promise I'll write a better one another day (Yay)
C C D Eb
And have you noticed that I've changed the key (No, have you?)
Eb Bb
The first bit was an A major actually (Oh yeah!)
Ab Bb
But I couldn't figure out, how to get back
Ab Bb
Right now I think its in E flat (Is it?)
Bb
In fact
Eb G Ab Abm
This song sounds completely different, to the start (Well at least it goes)
Eb G Ab Abm
I need to end it now, but I don't know how (Awh, that's fine!)
So this will do? (yep)
Eb
Ok
