Sad Songs Intermission

C F They say ambition is an enemy of weakness. C G And greatness is an enemy of fame. C F When I pick up my guitar and I try to write a song C G C I think of what my mentor used to say. F G C Who fucking gives a rat's ass Steve, just write a love song. F G C Cause they'll keep your belly full and your wallet lined. F G C Em Am Don't bother these nice people with your sad sack songs. F G C If you ask me I think they're just a waste of time. C F Inspiration is the best friend of my sorrow C G and sorrow is the best friend of my drink. C F Well I want to look myself in the eye tomorrow C G C but I'm too worried of what other folk's will think. F G C Who fucking gives a rat's ass Steve, just write a love song.

F G C So every now and then, I'll sing a sad song F G C 'Cause it keeps my spirit light and my conscience clean. F G C Em Am And if you don't care to hear I don't mind if you go out for some air. F G C 'Cause I'm happy that you're happier than me. F G C I'm happy that you're happier than me. F G C Em Am G F C I'm happy that you're happier than me.
