I’ve had these melodies and chords for quite a while
   D MajorD       G+G     F# minorF#m   B7B7
With nonsense lyrics to imply a certain style
   E minor 7Em7       A7A7       D MajorD    D/C#    Bm7Bm7   Bm7/A
Do I lack the whip of discipline, to find the words worth listening to?

I’ll just sing a song for you

Should real art always come from plain anxiety?

So I sing a song for you

And in the morning when she wakes up in my arms she’s looking fine
Dsus4Dsus4     D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
So glad she’s mine
F# minorF#m             G+G
And in the evening when the stars are in the sky
      D MajorD    C majorC    Bm7Bm7
I know that I could share my life
      E MajorE      E7E7
To live as man and wife
      A augmentedA    A/GA/G A/F# A/EA/E
Until the day she dies

Verse 3:
   D MajorD       G+G       D MajorD
Do I have to grow a beard in order to get heard?

Did Vincent cut his ear to make his painting work?
    E minor 7Em7        A7A7         D MajorD    D/C#   Bm7Bm7  Bm7/A
Shiny pearls before the swine, Rhinestones gathered from the Rhine

So I sing a song for you
