Intro:

C majorC A minorAm FF (x2)

Verse 1:
       C majorC       A minorAm         FF
What would it sound like if you were the songwriter
     C majorC     A minorAm      FF
And you made your living off of me?
     E minorEm         A minorAm        FF
Would you detail your near-constant consternation?
          E minorEm         A minorAm         FF
Or the way my very presence makes your muses up and flee?

Chorus 1:
E minorEm         A minorAm      FF
Goodbye, little songbird, I can leave
E minorEm      A minorAm           E MajorE      FF
Goodbye, my love, is there anything else you need?

C majorC A minorAm FF (x2)
Ad lib


Verse 2:
        C majorC       A minorAm        FF
What would it sound like if you were the songwriter
     C majorC      A minorAm    FF
And you did your living around me?
      E minorEm     A minorAm       FF
Would you undress me repeatedly in public
         E minorEm    A minorAm      FF
To show how very noble and naked you can be?


Chorus 2:
E minorEm         A minorAm         FF
Goodbye, little songbird, now you're free
           E minorEm     A minorAm
Don't forget I'm the only fan of yours
           E MajorE       FF
Who has the sense to ever leave you be
        E MajorE     FF
How could you do this to me?

C majorC A minorAm E minorEm (x2)
Ad lib

Outro:
        C majorC       A minorAm         FF
What would it sound like if you were the songwriter
      C majorC      A minorAm       FF
And loving me was your unsung masterpiece?

FF
