[Chorus]
G
You gotta be kidding me
Are you really telling me to
C/G
Sing a song about it?
To write a song about it?
G
What words would you have me use?
What metaphor to convey the news
C/G
That I'm sad and broken hearted?
D9 D9/A
Like I've never been before
[Verse 1]
C
I could've told you to fuck off!
Cmaj7 Cm6
But instead I politely smiled and said
G
Don't worry, I'm an artist
G7 G#7 A7
I'm sure I'll turn this into something beautiful
Am7 D9
Something meaningful
[Verse 2]
G
If I could speak candidly
This is just between you and me
C/G
It's a lot of responsibility
To turn what we felt into a melody
G
What memories do I recall?
Making love between yellow walls
C/G
The sunlight streaming in
The beams dancing off our skin
G
Or how it felt to hold you tight
Hold you close all through the night
C/G
To cry until the morning
D9
When we finally said goodbye
[Verse 3]
C
But I don't want to sing about it (don't wanna sing)
G
I don't even want to think about it (don't wanna think)
But here I am
Bm6 Bbm6
I'm going on, and on, and on, and on, and on (on, and on, and on)
A7 Am7 D9
I'm going on, and on, and on about it
[Chorus]
G
You've gotta be kidding me
Are you really telling me to
C/G
Sing a song about it?
To write a song about it?
G
What words would you have me use?
What metaphor to convey the news
C/G
That I'm sad and broken hearted
D9
Like I've never been before?
