Chorus:
EE Piano Chord 
        -         AA Piano Chord 
                 EE Piano Chord 

There's only two songs in me and I just wrote the third

EE Piano Chord 
               -              F#F# Piano Chord 
              BB Piano Chord 

don't know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words

EE Piano Chord 
              -             AA Piano Chord 
               EE Piano Chord 

spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave

F#mF#m Piano Chord 
       AA Piano Chord 
               BB Piano Chord 
               EE Piano Chord 

for the two songs in me and the third one I just made


1.
AA Piano Chord 
            -               EE Piano Chord 
               -
A rich man once told me - hey, life's a funny thing

AA Piano Chord 
             -               BB Piano Chord 
               -
a poor man once told me that he can't afford to speak

AbAb Piano Chord 
          -             AA Piano Chord 
              -
now I'm in the middle like a bird without a beak

(Chorus)

2.
So I went to the president and I asked old whatshisname
has he ever gotten writer's block or something like the same?
he just started talking like he was on tv

EE Piano Chord 
         -           BB Piano Chord 
                  EE Piano Chord 

if there's just two songs in ya boy, what do you want from me?


3.
So I bought myself some denim pants and a silver guitar
but I flatly told the ladies - you'll still have to call me 'sir'
'cause I have to keep my self-respect or I'll never be a star

EE Piano Chord 
         -          AA Piano Chord 
      -
since there's just two songs in me and this is

-  -    EE Piano Chord 

number three
