3 Minute Song – By Josh Wilson

Tuning- Standard

Intro

G B7 Em C

Verse 1:

G B7 Em C

I tried to write a song, and keep it 3 minutes long

G B7 Em C D

Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt

G B7 Em C

And I tried a thousand times to fit God between the lines

G B7 Em C

But I’m finding out that doesn’t really work

Pre-Chorus:

D D/C G/B Am7

I just don’t have the words to say, cause words only get in my way

Chorus:

G Am C D

I must apologize, I have the hardest time

G Am C D

Finding something to define a God that I can’t define

G Am C D Am7

And even if I could, it would take way too long

If all I’ve got’s a 3 minute song

Verse 2:

G B7 Em C

I’ve got a hundred metaphors, and if I had a million more

G B7 Em C D

I could never ever seem to sum this up

G B7 Em C

Besides, how can some melody communicate eternity?

G B7 Em C

It’s like trying to fit the ocean in a cup

Pre-Chorus:

D C Am7

I just don’t have the words to say, cause words only get in my way

Chorus:

G Am C D

I must apologize, I have the hardest time

G Am C D

Finding something to define a God that I can’t define

G Am C D Am7

And even if I could, it would take way too long

If all I’ve got’s a 3 minute song

Bridge:

Em D Em A

I would like to dumb this down to 3 chords, or maybe 4

C Cm

But I’ve tried and I can’t and I won’t cause there will always be more

G Am C Cm

So I apologize,

G Am C Cm

I can’t seem to get it right

Chorus:

G Am C D

I must apologize, I have the hardest time

G Am C D

Finding something to define a God that I can’t define

G Am C D Am7

And even if I could, it would take way too long

If all I’ve got’s a 3 minute song
