      D                                G           D             G
Boy threw his guitar down and started beating his brow, no matter how hard
                     D    A
he tried he couldn't justify,
D                              G                  D            G
All that wasted time, spent inventing words and rhyme, as the stars and the
D                 A         D
planets and the clock did laps.

 D                                                 G                 D
You see making up songs is for losers, I should build something she uses, like a
G                 D            A
box or a bed or cupboards or shelves.
        D                                   G          D      G
Cause songs are made of air, they can\'t be any use to her, better off trying to
                A     D
catch falling aeroplanes.

D                                      G                            D
Then girl said boy don't be so stupid, boy don't be so daft, you're not even right
               A
by half. And although you say your songs are fundamentally air, there's also

thousands of vibrations that stimulate the ear in such a way that every time I hear
            D                            G          D        G
them, they always make me smile, they're just as tactile as a box or a bed or
 D             A          D                              D
cupboards or shelves, so boy now stop your moping, your cursing and no-hoping
     G               A  D
and get back in the saddle.

D                                 G                  D
While she was still speaking, towards his feet he's reaching, where lay his guitar.
                                        G                               D
His head was swimming in the alphabet, soup letters swirled and words formed,

in his heart. He said

              D                            G             D   G
I'm going to build a song for us with four verses and a chorus, on real estate your
 A        D                                              G   D          G
words inspired. And there we'll live rent free, sleep on beds of melody and leave the
                    A  D
key change with the seasons.
              D                             G                G
And so that song he built was hers, with a chorus and four verse, and she woke to
           A        D
find him finally asleep.
