Matchbook Song
Graham Lindsey
capo IV
C
This ain�t no love song
Em
This ain�t organized and scripted happenstance
F
This ain�t no ordinary radio selling straining for amends
C B/G Am B/G
It ain�t this and it ain�t that
C G
This ain�t no sideshow striped out college vomit dance
F C
It�s just a song
C
This ain�t Kansas and this ain�t Maine
Em
This ain�t the stuffing in a scarecrow wearing nothing but the rain
F
This ain�t no cheap and dismal trick or treat di-ag-nosed in a day
C B/G Am B/G
It�s what you want, so you say
C G
If you need something more then I�ll be on my way
F C
It�s just song
Chorus I
F
So here�s your posies, here�s my tray
Am G
What I hope we live long enough to see a better day
This ain�t forever, there�s no such thing
This ain�t no frantic rag a-waiving for attention in my dreams
This ain�t political masturbation masquerading as a theme
Ain�t no psychology blowjob for a scream
It could be you or it could be me
But it�s just a song
Chorus II
So here�s your hook and he�s my line
I apologize, I couldn�t kill enough to you with rhyme
Am G
But I promise while these words may not resound
C G
I�ll always be here even if my heart is wrong
F C
With just a song
Bridge
When we are strangers
and there ain�t no better place that we can go
This ain�t no sensational and cataclysmic centuries show
No high tech prophecy of doom or gold
I�m only trying find the right road
It�s just a song
Chorus III
So here�s the hook and here�s my line
There ain�t nothing at the end, but it�s sinking all the time
Well this can�t be the only way back down
But it�s the only way I�ve got to reach the ground
With just this song
