[Chorus]
  GYou gotta be kidding me
Are you really telling me to
C/GSing a song about it?
To write a song about it?
  GWhat words would you have me use?
What metaphor to convey the news
That I'm C/Gsad and broken hearted?
Like I'D9ve never been befoD9/Are
[Verse 1]
I could've told you to Cfuck off!
But insCmaj7tead I politely sCm6miled and said
Don't Gworry, I'm an artist
I'm sG7ure I'll turn this iG#7nto something A7beautiful
Something Am7meaningfD9ul
[Verse 2]
  GIf I could speak candidly
This is just between you and me
It's a C/Glot of responsibility
To turn what we felt into a melody
  GWhat memories do I recall?
Making love between yellow walls
The sC/Gunlight streaming in
The beams dancing off our skin
  GOr how it felt to hold you tight
Hold you close all through the night
To C/Gcry until the morning
When we D9finally said goodbye
[Verse 3]
But I don't want to sing abCout it (don't wanna sing)
I don't even want to tGhink about it (don't wanna think)
But here I am
I'm going Bm6on, and on, and on, and on, and oBbm6n  (on, and on, and on)
I'm going A7on, and on, and on aAm7bout itD9  
[Chorus]
  GYou've gotta be kidding me
Are you really telling me to
C/GSing a song about it?
To write a song about it?
  GWhat words would you have me use?
What metaphor to convey the news
That I'm C/Gsad and broken hearted
Like I've D9never been before?
