Intro
C Am F (x2)
verse 1
C Am F
What would it sound like if you were the songwriter
C Am F
And you made your living off of me?
Em Am F
Would you detail your near-constant consternation?
Em Am F
Or the way my very presence makes your muses up and flee?
Em Am F
Goodbye, little songbird, I can leave
Em Am E F
Goodbye, my love, is there anything else you need?
C Am F (x2)
Ad lib
verse 2
C Am F
What would it sound like if you were the songwriter
C Am F
And you did your living around me?
Em Am F
Would you undress me repeatedly in public
Em Am F
To show how very noble and naked you can be?
Em Am F
Goodbye, little songbird, now you're free
Em Am
Don't forget I'm the only fan of yours
E F
Who has the sense to ever leave you be
E F
How could you do this to me?
C Am Em (x2)
Ad lib
Outro
