G Em
let me put it to you this way:
Am C
you will be hit by a truck and you will fall from your bicycle
G Em
and no-one will recall
Am C
who you were, except your friends and your enemies
Am Em
and all the stuff you could've written
Am Em
'bout times when you were sick, or smitten
Am Em D G
will mean about as much as your corpse
G Em
let me put it to you this way:
Am C
I've been writing songs for almost 7 years now
G Em
and I haven't said a single thing
Am C
of lasting import. or social significance
Am Em
but I know from reading all your letters
Am Em
and midnight coffee double-headers
Am Em D G
that maybe you could do better than me
G Em
let me put it to you this way:
Am C
you will be hit by a bus, and you will die inside the ambulance
G Em
and no-one will recall
Am C
who you are (or I mean WERE) except your friends and your relatives
Am Em
and all the stuff you could've written
Am Em
and all the words you could've hidden
Am Em D G
will mean about as much as your corpse
(ends on a G)
