I didn't care [D]if it made the charts

[Verse 2]
[C]
I only [D]wrote it for [G]you and [Em]me
They [D]think they're so [C]smart now
They're not as [D]smart as
[Em]they want to be
They took [D]my simple song,

[Verse 3]
[C]yes, they did
They changed [D]the words
and [G]the melody[Em]
Made it [D]all sound [C]wrong, yeah
Now it [D]sounds like a sym[E]phony[Em][D]
[C]
