Intro:
C majorC C C majorC G+G

Verse 1: Walter:
C majorC
Hey Matt, hey Matt, here's the thing
      FF           G+G
You know I love writing songs but I can't sing
FF           G+G
Need a little advice or something
FF              G+G          C majorC
Just a couple of pointers so I gave you, Matt, a ring

Chorus 1:
 G+G            A minorAm
I don't want to waste your time
            FF         C majorC
I'm sure you're on the road, driving all night
  G+G            A minorAm
But Matt, I could use some advice
          FF     C majorC
Cause I've been off key all my life
   G+G         FF                 G+G
It's time I learned to sing, that's why I'm giving you a ring

Verse 2: Matt:
C majorC
Hey Walt, hey Walt, here's the deal
    FF          G+G
If you sing too high, it's got no appeal
    FF        G+G
If you sing too low, it just don't sound real
  FF           G+G         C majorC
So close your eyes, Walt, and sing what you feel

Bridge 1: Walter & Matt:
C majorC
You know Walt, I've got a little exercise we could try, repeat after me
C majorC
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
FF    C majorC
oh, oh, oh, oh,
FF    C majorC
oh, oh, oh, oh,
G+G
oh, oh - Okay, that's pretty good, let's try 'ah'
C majorC
Ah, ah, ah, ah,
FF    C majorC
ah, ah, ah, ah,
FF    C majorC
ah, ah, ah, ah,
G+G
ah, ah

Chorus 2: Walter & Matt:
  G+G           A minorAm
And Walt don't waste your time,
       FF        C majorC
singing about love and lonely nights
   G+G          A minorAm
Cause no one's gonna pay a dime
      FF        C majorC
to stand in line to hear you whine
  G+G          FF
You gotta sing something new
            G+G
Just try to keep it in tune - Lord knows that's all I do

Verse 3: Walter:
  C majorC
Hey Matt, I guess that's all
     FF            G+G
You know I really appreciate you taking my call
FF             G+G
For helping me out with my singing and all
FF                G+G
You know Matt, you've got a very special voice
 FF                  G+G
I admit, for this song, you weren't my first choice
         FF         G+G
You see, Matt, I tried to get Randy Newman
   FF            G+G
Randy Newman never actually responded
       FF              G+G      C majorC
So thanks for stepping in, Matt, it really means a lot

Bridge 2: Walter & *Matt* - spoken over C:
Thanks, Matt
*No problem, Walt, you really ask Randy Newman to sing in the song?*
Yeah, I did actually
*That would have been awesome*
Yeah, I know
*Why didn't he do it?*
I don't really know, I'm thinking maybe he thought my organ playing was too flashy or something
I don't know, or maybe he's not into hand-claps, you know
*Yeah, alright let's keep practicing*
Alright
