[Verse 3]
E
I try hard to write a cool song
G#m B
So I start with something simple, like trying to put my shoes on
E G#m
Now something kinda clicked, 'cause you relate a bit
B
But no one's gonna care about a shoe song
E
I try hard to write a cool song
G#m B
But I gotta make it matter so maybe I'll throw the news on
E G#m
Could I relate the shoes to 2022
B
Or maybe an election down in Tucson?
E
I try throwing something cool on
G#m B
So I'm listening to Kendrick and playing the swimming pool song
E
But why did I do that?
G#m
'Cause now I hate my track
B
I'm quite aware I'll never write a cool song
E
But who really needs a cool song?
F# G#m B
There's so many better melodies why do you need a new one?
E B/D# C#m
So stop writing a song about writing a song
E
You're losing their attention, buddy, move on
[Chorus]
