D5 G5 D5 You see making up songs is for losers, I should build something she uses, like a G5 D5 A5 box or a bed or cupboards or shelves. D5 G5 D5 G5 Cause songs are made of air, they can't be any use to her, better off trying to A5 D5 catch falling aeroplanes. D5 G5 D5 Then girl said boy don't be so stupid, boy don't be so daft, you're not even right A5 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 D5 G5 D5 G5 them , they always make me smile, they're just as tactile as a box or a bed or D5 A5 D5 G5 D5 cupboards or shelves, so boy now stop your moping, your cursing and no-hoping G5 A5 D5 and get back in the saddle. D5 G5 D5 While she was still speaking, towards his feet he's reaching, where lay his guitar. G5 D5 His head was swimming in the alphabet, soup letters swirled and words formed, in his heart. He said D5 G5 D5 G5 I'm going to build a song for us with four verses and a chorus, on real estate your A5 D5 G5 D5 G5 words inspired. And there we'll live rent free, sleep on beds of melody as the stars A5 D5 and the planets and the clock do laps. D5 G5 D5 G5 And so that song he built was hers, with a chorus and four verse, and she woke to A5 D5 find him finally asleep. This is a pretty simplified, one person playing, version of the song, but it still sounds good.
