Standard tuning
No capo
[Verse 1]
CI woke up this morning and realGized
All I do is apologiFze for a song I wrote Cin 2005
Didn't come with a warnCing, but fame is unkGind
Put me on tFop of the world, couple of girls, and Cthen left me behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Sure, let's take a phDmotograph
You can show it to your friCends and laugh
I'll tell you what I'm Amdoing now
But you don't really wanna kGnow
[Chorus 2]
I wrote you a lCove song, now it's something that you Ghate on
And I'm sad the record's brAmoken
But I Fdon't think I can write a better lCove song
Without it I'd be nGo one, and now that you've forAmgotten me
FTell me how to write one better
C G F C
[Verse 2]
I'm not gonna lCie, and say it didn't work Gout
'cause I live in a bFig house, made a few pounds, Cnice car on the drive
And I went round the wCorld once or twice, saw the sunGset and sunrise
But for big higFhs, there's a big price, when all you Cdo is criticize
[Pre-Chorus]
Sure, let's take a phDmotograph,
You can show it to your Cfriends and laugh
I'll tell you what I'm Amdoing now
But you don't really wanna kGnow
[Chorus 3]
I wrote you a lCove song, now it's something that you Ghate on
And I'm sad the record's brAmoken
But I Fdon't think I can write a better lCove song
Without it I'd be nGo one, and now that you've forAmgotten me
FTell me how to write one better
