[intro]-- Abm Dm Abm Em
 
Abm Dm Abm Em
Me and Tom sat down one night
 
Abm Dm Abm Em
Our goal was to write a song
 
Abm Dm Abm Em
We didn't want it to be to short
 
Abm Dm Abm
But we didn't want it to long.
 
Dm Em
We can write about politics
 
Am
We can write about the world
 
Fm
We can write about ourselves
 
Dm
We can write it about girls
 
Em
But what went through our heads
 
Abm
Was to write about this song instead
 
Tom picked up his guitar
and started playing a song.
Some words went through my head
And I started singing them soon.
 
We can write about our friends
We can write about being blue
We can write about something else
We can write about being without you
But what went through our heads
Was to write about this song instead.
