just a song chords and lyrics - BAHAMAS

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
It [G]helps me to pretend that
there's a song in my guitar
Should I go [C]up to my room,
or should I stay here at the bar?
After [D]searching for the sound,
I put the wood and steel down
Having not [G]got [Em]far
[G]Sometimes

[Verse 2]
I swear I hear it,
ringing in my ears
But to try [C]too hard to find it
is the sum of all my fears
I let [D]the chorus be the hearse,
for every dead forgotten verse
I've carried [G]through the years
It's [Bm]like the

[Verse 3]
[G]perfect [C]melody
[G]is hidden in [C]a tomb
And [D]every misplaced note
The ones I stole, the ones I wrote
[C]All just self- inflicted wounds
[G][Em][G]

[Verse 4]
Memory as an [Em]in strument i[Bm]s flawed
It lets me live [C]inside the dream
[Bm]I swear [Am]I saw
Don't try to pol[D]ish up
what should stay raw

[Interlude 1]
It's just a song
[G][A][G]
[C][D]
[G][C][G][Em]
[G]Everyone

[Verse 5]
is looking for it,
wondering where it's at
And the ra[C]dio now is just a tourist trap
Every [D]musical mistake,
every bad middle eight
Just leaves [G]me flat

[Verse 6]
So [G]if you've got it in you, I can get it out
And it [C]can't be a sin to live with
one's own doubts
When the [D]tape a starts a- rollin',
you shouldn't scream or shout
Just sing [G]your heart out

[Verse 7]
It's like the [G]perfect [C]melody
[G]is hid[D]den in a tom[C]b
And [D]every misplaced note
The ones I stole, the ones I wrote
All just [C]self- inflicted wounds
[G]

[Verse 8]
[G]Memory as an [Em]in strument is fl[Bm]awed
It lets me live [C]inside the dream
[G]I swear [Am]I saw
Don't try to pol[D]ish up
what should stay raw
It's just a song
[Em][D]

[Verse 9]
[G]
Don't have [Am]to think that
every note is [D]wrong
It's just [C]a song
