CAPO: 2nd fret
INTRO:   Em    D    C  D7  
Write Gon
Even though there's no one Emlistening to your Dsongs
Write on
Shine Gon
Get it together, let your Emlight break through, shine Don
Baby, shine on

Sitting on your own, Emwaiting for the phone, come Don
Hmm, come on, come on
Write Gon
For your fame and fortune will Emfollow you, coming on Dstrong
Coming on strong
CDon't feel bad 'cause the radio ain't playing 'em
It won't be long 'til you're going out and slaying 'emG  
Shine onC  
You're not the first, you won't be the last
To feel the frustration of a musical fast, Gwrite on
Baby, Dwrite on
N.C.
Sing your rock and roll with a touch of soul
Ballads with feeling, send your Gaudience reeling, rock D7on
Rock Don
Find a Cman with a van, a back up band
Who'll give you a hand on your one night stand, rock Gon
Baby, rock on
CGive 'em your licks, getting off on their kicks
Swaying in motion to a rhythmic potion, rock Gon
Baby, Drock on
Give it to me
INSTRUMENTAL:    G    Em      D     G    Em  D  
CMusic freaks and all those hustlers
Hangers on, trying to make a con, rock Gon
Don't Csign on the line 'til you know it's all fine
It's your life baby, you got to give it time, rock Gon
Baby, rock Don
Write Gon
Even though there's no one Emlistening to your Dsongs
Write on

Get it together, let your Emlight break through, shine Don
