Intro -x3-: Eb Eb Cm Ab

Verse 1:
Eb              Eb             Cm          Ab
 Scared to speak,   finding words for an e-mail to you
Eb           Eb                 Cm           Ab
 Tried to see    through the hurt to find it stuck on my shoe
Eb        Eb              Cm             Ab        Fm
 Hanging on,  piece of gum, it's time to let it go loose
               Ab
Won't you just move on?

Chorus:
    Eb             Eb                Cm              Ab
And let me write a song like all the songs I love to listen to
Eb                 Eb             Cm               Ab
Writing 'cause I'm healing, never writing songs to hurt you
Eb             Eb           Db               Ab
Using what I'm best at and I hope you do the same
                Fm        Ab
I'd sure make a movie before plannin' on somethin' to say

Verse 2:
Eb        Eb       Cm      Ab         Eb
 I turned off the TV and I laid in my bed
        Eb              Cm           Ab     Eb
Sat and thought blissfully listening to Elliott
             Eb                 Cm      Ab
Writing songs,   he did the same  about situations
Eb            Eb               Cm           Ab       Fm
 Would've been    just the same, you had to make it obvious

Oh, come on, man

I'd sure make a movie before plannin' on somethin' to say

Bridge:
               Eb
And you messed up
           Db
All by yourself
                Cm                      Ab
And I sat right here, secretly tried to help
             Eb
And I did my best
                Db
And you'd never know
                 Fm                        Ab
'Cause your satisfaction's for you just to gloat
              Eb
And it was my song
Eb        Db
Oh just a song
            Fm                     Ab
You made it worse just by singing along
          Fm
Just keep busy
             Ab
Oh, and make a movie
                             Eb
And I'll stick to writing my songs
