i don’t wanna write songs no more

C

I don’t want to write songs no more
Waste my time with these words and chords
If I can’t have the one thing I’m doing it for

                                G7
And that’s your love.
You didn’t love me, I couldn’t change that
My sharp lyricisms all fell flat
I stuck my neck out and struck out like Casey at the Bat

                  C     C7
All for your love.

Fm7                                     Bb7     
You said my songs were so clever

        Em7                         Em7(b5)   A7(b9)
But clearly not clever enough

    Dm7
To win you, convince you

        Dm7(b5)
That I was your prince

G7
Your winces were hints
I was not up to snuff

C
I don’t want to make music no more
I’ve gone the way of the troubadours
Thinking up notes has become a chore

            G7                            C
Since I couldn’t secure your love.

(solo)

C
I don’t want to write songs no more
I’m so tired of trying to score
Since you made a B-line for the door

                                     G7
And made off with your love.
They say every good boy does fine
I’m here to tell you they were lying.
Though I fell for you hook, sinker, and line

                                  C     C7
I couldn’t reel in your love

Fm7                               Bb7
You said my music was better

         Em7                                Em7(b5)       A7(b9)
Than that of other boys who’d written you stuff

       Dm7                             Dm7(b5)
But it doesn’t matter, cause unlike the latter

G7
I didn’t get to see you in the buff.

C
I don’t want make music no more
My downstairs neighbor’s banging on my floor
I used up my muse’s esprit de corps

         G7                     C
And I couldn’t secure your love.

         G7
No, I couldn’t secure your love.
