A B
This is how you write a love song
Yeah a shitty 90's R n' B love song
C#m7 C#m7/A
This is my backup and he sings quite breathilly (Breathilly)
C#m7/F# B7 B7/C
He takes the words I sing and sings them after me (Sings em after me)
C#m7 C#m7/A
He emphasises words and sings them emphatically (I sing EMPHATICALLY)
C#m7/F# A
Now listen to us singing acapella harmony
G#m F#m
Now were back at the bridge
G#m A
I haven't written anything for this
G#m F#m G#m A
So. I'm. gooo honna. streeh heeetch. ooout. the words.

This is how you write a love song
G#m F#m
Yeah a shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty love song
A B
And to show you I care I throw my hands in the air
C#m G#m
And cut the music while I sing a long noooooooote
C#m G#m
Hey girl I've been standing up the back not doing much for this song
C#m
But that's because my talents are quite limited
G#m
But that don't mean that I love you any less
In fact it means the opposite (Im just showing off my voice)
C#m
It just it's so hard for me to find the words
G#m
To really express the way that I feel about you girl
C#m
Especially when I have to worry about fitting those words to music
G#m
And there's some kind of rhyme structure involved (Meaningless Whisper)
C#m
I know it's lazy song writing but I dont care
G#m
Cos I sleep on a big pile of money at night
C#m
girl You might think it's weird girl
G#m
that three guys are singing about the one girl girl
C#m
But let me tell you something girl it's not weird at all
G#m
In fact girl It's an industry standard
and it happens all the time (Happens all the time)
C#m G#m
Well girl I better wrap this up about now cos I just about to cut off by..
F#m
Woahowoahowoahoahoh
A B
Baby I wrote you a love song
G#m F#m
It wasn't hard It really didn't take long
A B
A totally generic love song
G#m F#m
Yeah really this could be about anyone, but it's for you
A B G#m F#m
yeah this is a love song, Non-Specific girl
A B
To let you know we take it seriously
C Gm
