       G             G                  F                   F
She lost her heart to the boys in the band,
       F             F                  G                   G
And everywhere the word she spread,
       G             G                  F                   F
With every track made, they want another new fan,
       F             F                  G                   N.C.
And one day the publisher said:


             G
Stop copying me,
             F
This songs mine,
             C
You got last one free,
             G
Youll pay next time,
             G
I got ripped and burned,
             F
When you heard me,
             C
Now the worm has turned
             G
Stop copying me

       G             G                  F                   F
I found another round robin just clogging up the mailbox,
       F             F                             G                   G
Stuffing all the holes in my head,
       G             G                  F                   F
With school plays, birthdays, trips around the Earth days,
       F             F                  G                   NC
Chuck it in the trash I said:


(Each line repeated by backing/ audience)


              G
Stop copying me,
              F
Youre not my friend,
              C
If you press cc,
              G
then you press send,
              G
Why dont you call?
              F
I might be free,
              C
Pick up your phone,
              G
And stop copying me

(Use barre chords to emphasis the key change)
               C                          C
You know I got no space to hang around on Facebook,
               G                          G
Or give my front page another tweak,
               C                          C
With mindless wittering, another twat twittering
               D                          D        N.C.
If I communicate I speak:

       G             G                  F                   F  
Plagiarisation, dissertation, I?ll nick another essay from the net,
       G             G                  F                   F                        
I been 3 years wasting, cutting and pasting, now Im ?30 000 in debt

              G
Stop copying me,
              F
Lets use these words,
              C
Unseal our lips,
              G
Lets all be heard,
              G
Take one deep breath,
              F
The air is free,
              C
In the time thats left,
              G
Stop copying me,
              F
Stop copying me,
              C
Stop copying me,
              G
Stop copying me!
