A Song About A Song

G                            C
Welcome to this song which I wrote all by myself
G                                    D
It's all about this song which I did write
       C                               D
It's a filler track so, if you care to listen, help yourself
           C               D                G
But if you skip this one I won't hold it in spite

    G                             C                               G
I'm sitting in my bedroom knowing that I've only got one track to go
                           D
Until this compilation's complete
       C                                  D
So I'm going to cheat and rush it so that I can get a snack
       C                   D           G
I feel bad, but can't help but admit defeat

        D                  C
And I'm sure you'd love to know
        D                        C
About a story of a break up that I could bestow
    D                C                  D             C
But I don't have the time to wait for a love story to propagate
    D              C              D
I'd much prefer to demonstrate my thoroughly excited state at this song which I do now create

G C G
                       D
This is a song about a song
G C G
                       D
This is a song about a song

   G                                C
My self-referential humour makes up most of what I do
    G                              D
And so this tune should come as no surprise
       C                                D
To the eyes that have followed me, that watch as I construe
   C                  D            G
My observations, from which ideas arise

        D                  C
And I'm sure you'd love to know
           D                                C
About some girl who with, romantically, I'm taking it slow
    D                C                  D             C
But I don't have the time to wait for a love story to propagate
    D              C              D
I'd much prefer to demonstrate my thoroughly excited state at this song which I do now create

G C G
                       D
This is a song about a song
G C G
                       D
This is a song about a song
             C                                   D               G
And I should probably put a bridge here, but I'm going to cut it short.
