[Verse]

Am                           C
G                            D
But lately I've been thinking have I got it all wrong
Am                 C                 G              D
Do I like that they echo my thoughts, or am I echoing theirs
Am           C          G              D
The origin of influence is kinda hard to bear

Am                   C
Am I just rewriting songs through my own filter
G                         D
Like feeding experiences to a computer
Am                     C                 G                    D
Either way, the lyrics I want to write, are already plain to be found
Am                   C           G             D
I can't help feeling Im covering someone else's sound

[Chorus]

C                     F
So make it relatable, make it true,
C                F
Make it tell your point of view
C                      F                          C
But most important make sure that people can hear you

C           F
Make it from the heart
C                   F
Try to bring others together in part
C                        F                      C
But make sure people understand the words for a start

[Verse]

Am                   C                           G                                D
Wear your influences on your sleeve,  patch them together to make an image that's your
own
Am                    C                          G                D
Keep creating for the fun of it and that way your style begins to hone
Am                    C            G     D
You're the product of 200 thousand years prior
Am           C            G                          D
Enjoy it along the way, originality is a slow burning fire.
Am           C                  G                           D
You need old logs, but add some fuel and your own creative spark
Am                    C                     G                         D
Fire is a free thing, burns in its own way, just give it that crucial start

[Chorus]

C                     F
So make it relatable, make it true,
C                  F
Make it tell your point of view
C                   F                        F
But most important make sure that people can hear you

C         F
Make it from the heart
C                   F
Try to bring others together in part
C                   F                        F
But make sure people understand the words for a start
