Intro: G
verse 1
Jonathan lives all on his own
He can't have distraction in the home
He stays locked in most days and nights
Trying to create while the neighbours fight
C F
He says, "I don't have any inspiration
C G
And my subject matter lacks invention"
verse 2
Jonathan's writing a book you see
It's gonna be a masterpiece, a feat
He doesn't have a title or a plot
But he knows what's good and he knows what's not
C F
He says, "I don't have any inspiration
C G
And my subject matter lacks invention"
C F
If I only had an opening line
C G
Well, I'm sure the rest would turn out fine"
verse 3
He's planning on at least a thousand pages
It has to be a story for the ages
But from War And Peace to How To Cook
There's not much left for Jonathan's book
C F
He says, "I don't have any inspiration
C G
And my subject matter lacks invention"
C F
If I only had an opening line
C G D
Well, I'm sure the rest would turn out fine"
