[Chorus]
              E                  A                 E
There's only two songs in me and I just wrote the third
            E                              F#              B
Don't know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words
           E                            A               E
Spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave
        F#m       A               B               E
For the two songs in me and the third one I just made
[Verse]
   A                            E
A rich man once told me -"hey, life's a funny thing"
   A                             B
A poor man once told me that he can't afford to speak
    Ab                        A
Now I'm in the middle like a bird without a beak 'cause
[Chorus]
              E                  A                 E
There's only two songs in me and I just wrote the third
            E                              F#              B
Don't know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words
           E                            A               E
Spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave
        F#m       A               B               E
For the two songs in me and the third one I just made
[Verse]
     A                           E
So I went to the president and I asked old whats-his-name
       A                             B
Has he ever gotten writer's block or something like the same?
Ab                           A
He just started talking like he was on T.V.
                E                     B                  E
"If there's just two songs in ya boy, what do you want from me?"
[Verse]
     A                                    E
So I bought myself some denim pants and a silver guitar
      A                                     B
But I flatly told the ladies - you'll still have to call me 'sir'
        Ab                                   A
Cause I have to keep my self-respect or I'll never be a star
                    E                    A
Since there's just two songs in me and this is
         E
