Matchbook Song
Graham Lindsey
capo IV
CThis ain’t no love song
EmThis ain’t organized and scripted happenstance
FThis ain’t no ordinary radio selling straining for amends
CIt ain’t this B/Gand it ain’t AmthatB/G  
CThis ain’t no sideshow striped out college vomit dGance
It’s just a FsongC  
CThis ain’t Kansas and this ain’t Maine
EmThis ain’t the stuffing in a scarecrow wearing nothing but the rain
This ain’t no Fcheap and dismal trick or treat di-ag-nosed in a day
It’s what you Cwant, B/Gso you sAmayB/G  
CIf you need something more then I’ll be on my Gway
It’s just FsongC  
Chorus I
FSo here’s your posies, here’s my tray
What I Amhope we live long enough to see a better Gday
This ain’t forever, there’s no such thing
This ain’t no frantic rag a-waiving for attention in my dreams
This ain’t political masturbation masquerading as a theme
Ain’t no psychology blowjob for a scream
It could be you or it could be me
But it’s just a song
Chorus II
So here’s your hook and he’s my line
I apologize, I couldn’t kill enough to you with rhyme
AmBut I promise while these words may not reGsound
CI’ll always be here even if my heart is Gwrong
FWith just a songC  
Bridge
When we are strangers 
and there ain’t no better place that we can go
This ain’t no sensational and cataclysmic centuries show
No high tech prophecy of doom or gold
I’m  only trying find the right road
It’s just a song
Chorus III
So here’s the hook and here’s my line
There ain’t nothing at the end, but it’s sinking all the time
Well this can’t be the only way back down
But it’s the only way I’ve got to reach the ground
With just this song
