Like I’ve never heard that one before

Above average
FF F minorFm C majorC
And so you stick to writing nothing else
C7C7 FF F minorFm C majorC
If you never show off your only critic is yourself
E7E7 FF
But now I’ve learned that

I’m not the best

I’ll say look no further than your favourite lyricist
