Intro:
 Am F Am G Am

Am           F                Am
This song sounds dramatic

Am                 F          Am
But I'm bad at writing words

Am     F                 Am
If you don't speak English

Am                E                     Am
This probably sounds pretty good

Am
You'd probably think I'm singing

Am                       F          Am
'Bout some pretty serious stuff

Am                     F                          G                       Am
But in reality I'm singing about the lack of stuff I'm singing 'bout

F                             G   Am
This part's intense and emotional

F                              G
As long as you don't understand it

Am    F
Your foreign grandma

G                      Am
Would love this song

F                        Am
Please send it to her

F                                         Am
And she'll probably tell her foreign friends about the

F             Am                             F           Am
song her grandson or daughter sent her today

F                                                       G                       Am       
        Am    C      G
This song might hit the charts in her country if parts sounded like Coldplay

Am              F                  Am    C     G
If the chorus sounds like Coldplay

F                           Am   G      Am
Then I'll put some La La La's in there

F                 E
La la la la la la la la la la la la (Coldplay)

Am                                                                    F               Am
Hopefully your foreign grandma listens to this song every day

Am                             E                                                     Am
And if she asks you to translate the lyrics here's what you say

               F                G            Am
A perfect translation does not exist

F                         G          Am
Well, at least, not in your language

                F                 G                 Am
But if you must know, well, picture this

F               Am                                E
50 billion rainbows and the sun is setting

             Am                    F
And the moon is setting also

                  Am          F      Am
And you're there in a gazebo

               F                             G
And then God descends from heaven

             G                          Am
And he gives you a million dollars

Am          F                  Am     F     Am
Take that feeling and put it into a song

Am      F                                          G                    Am
I could translate word by word but that'd take too long

                    Am                                              F          Am
And I've got stuff to do Grandma I don't have time for this

Am            F           Am
You gotta trust me Grandma

Am                 E          Am
This freaking song is brilliant
