then D
Boy thDrew his guitar down and started bGeating his bDrow, no matter Ghow hard
he tried he couldn't DjustiAfy,
DAll that wasted time, spent invGenting words and rhDyme, as the sGtars and the
Dplanets and the clAock did laDps.
YDou see making up songs is for losers, I should buiGld something she uDses, like a
Gbox or a bed or cuDpboards or shAelves.
Cause soDngs are made of air, they can\'t be Gany use to Dher, beGtter off trying to
catch falling aeAroplanDes.
DThen girl said boy don't be so stupid, Gboy don't be so daft, you're Dnot even right
by half. And alAthough you say your songs are fundamentally air, there's also
thousands of vibrations that stimulate the ear in such a way that every time I hear
them, they aDlways make me smile, they're Gjust as tacDtile as a Gbox or a bed or
cDupboards or shAelves, so bDoy now stop your moping, your cDursing and no-hoping
and gGet back in the sAaddDle.
DWhile she was still speaking, towaGrds his feet he's rDeaching, where lay his guitar.
His head was swimming in the alphabet, sGoup letters swirled and words foDrmed,
in his heart. He said
I'm going to bDuild a song for us with four Gverses and a cDhoruGs, on real estate your
wAords inspDired. And there we'll live rent free, sleep on Gbeds Dof melody Gand leave the
key change with the AseaDsons.
And so that soDng he built was hers, with a cGhorus and four veGrse, and she woke to
find him fiAnally aslDeep.

then D

D G D G

Boy threw his guitar down and started beating his brow, no matter how hard

D A

he tried he couldn't justify,

D G D G

All that wasted time, spent inventing words and rhyme, as the stars and the

D A D

planets and the clock did laps.

D G D

You see making up songs is for losers, I should build something she uses, like a

G D A

box or a bed or cupboards or shelves.

D G D G

Cause songs are made of air, they can\'t be any use to her, better off trying to

A D

catch falling aeroplanes.

D G D

Then girl said boy don't be so stupid, boy don't be so daft, you're not even right

by half. And although you say your songs are fundamentally air, there's also

thousands of vibrations that stimulate the ear in such a way that every time I hear

D G D G

them, they always make me smile, they're just as tactile as a box or a bed or

D A D D

cupboards or shelves, so boy now stop your moping, your cursing and no-hoping

G A D

and get back in the saddle.

D G D

While she was still speaking, towards his feet he's reaching, where lay his guitar.

G D

His head was swimming in the alphabet, soup letters swirled and words formed,

in his heart. He said

D G D G

I'm going to build a song for us with four verses and a chorus, on real estate your

A D G D G

words inspired. And there we'll live rent free, sleep on beds of melody and leave the

A D

key change with the seasons.

D G G

And so that song he built was hers, with a chorus and four verse, and she woke to

A D

find him finally asleep.
