capo IV
This ain?t no love song
This ain’t no
organized and scripted happenstance
This ain’t no
ordinary radio summons straining for amends
It ain?t
this[B/G] and it ain?t
that[B/G]
This ain’t no
sideshow strip down college vomit
dance
It?s just a
song
This ain’t Kansas and this ain’t May
This ain?t the
stuffing in a scarecrow wearing nothing but the rain
This ain?t no
cheap and dismal trick or treat di-ag-nosed in a day
It’s what you
want o[C/B]r so you
say[C/B]
If you need something more then I?ll be on my
way
It?s just
song
So here’s your posies and here’s my train
Well I hope that we live long enough to
see a better day
But this ain’t forever there’s no such thing
This ain?t no frantic rag a-waiving for attention to my dreams
This ain?t political masturbation masquerading as a theme
Ain?t no psych[B/G]ology blowjob
for [B/G]a scream
It could be you or it could be me
But it?s jus
t a song
So here?s your hook and here?s my line
I apologize I couldn?t give enough
to you with rhymes
But I promise though these words may not
resound
I?ll always be here even if my heart is
wrong
With just a song
Bridge
We are strangers
And there ain?t no better place that we can go
This ain?t no
sensational and cataclysmic century show
No high-tech p[C/B]rophecy of do
om or[C/B] hope
I?m only trying to find the right road
With just a
song
So here?s the hook and here?s the line
There ain?t nothing at the end but it?s
sinking all the t
ime
This can?t be the only way back
down
But it?s the only way I?ve got to reach the g
round
With just a
song
