♫ Verse 3:
E
 I try hard to write a cool song
     G#m                               B
So I start with something simple, like trying to put my shoes on
E                                                  G#m
  Now something kinda clicked, 'cause you relate a bit
                   B
But no one's gonna care about a shoe song
E
 I try hard to write a cool song
      G#m                     B
But I gotta make it matter so maybe I'll throw the news on
E                                G#m
  Could I relate the shoes to 2022
             B
Or maybe an election down in Tucson?
E
 I try throwing something cool on
       G#m                       B
So I'm listening to Kendrick and playing the swimming pool song
E
  But why did I do that?
                     G#m
'Cause now I hate my track
                     B
I'm quite aware I'll never write a cool song
E
 But who really needs a cool song?
F#           G#m                      B
  There's so many better melodies why do you need a new one?
E                   B/D#                 C#m
  So stop writing a song about writing a song
                      E
You're losing their attention, buddy, move on
