The Songwriter

	  		
Intro 

C Am F (x2) 

verse 1 
              C              Am                 F 
What would it sound like if you were the songwriter 
          C         Am           F 
And you made your living off of me? 
          Em                  Am                F 
Would you detail your near-constant consternation? 
                    Em                 Am                 F 
Or the way my very presence makes your muses up and flee? 

Em                  Am           F 
Goodbye, little songbird, I can leave 
Em           Am                     E           F 
Goodbye, my love, is there anything else you need? 


C Am F (x2) 
Ad lib 

verse 2 
               C             Am                F 
What would it sound like if you were the songwriter 
         C           Am        F 
And you did your living around me? 
            Em         Am             F 
Would you undress me repeatedly in public 
                  Em        Am            F 
To show how very noble and naked you can be? 

Em                  Am                 F 
Goodbye, little songbird, now you're free 
                      Em          Am 
Don't forget I'm the only fan of yours 
                      E             F 
Who has the sense to ever leave you be 
               E          F 
How could you do this to me? 


C Am Em (x2) 
Ad lib 

Outro 
               C             Am                  F 
What would it sound like if you were the songwriter 
           C            Am              F 
And loving me was your unsung masterpiece?
