Writer Of Songs Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I always wanted t[G]o be a someone
To [D]climb those mountains
that [G]no one had stood on
[D]To tell the world that [A]I'd take
it all on [D]my shoulders
Maybe a writer [G]of books that made me
[D]A name in papers that w[G]ould acclaim me
[D]The greatest writers would meet
[A]to name me [D]genius.
I'd cover canvas with [G]solid color
Un[D]til they'd say that
there [G]was no other
And [D]old Picasso, he'd call [A]me
His brother and [D]friend
I'd build the bridges,
the ships [G]and the towers
[D]I'd be Frank Lloyd Wright
[G]With Brunel's powers
An[D]d I would think of d[A]esigns
for hours each [D]day
But they ignored my [G]greatest writing
They [D]scorned my painting
and [G]said it was frightening
[D]Told me my buildings
would fall
[A]to lightning and [D]rain
Soon they were saying [G]that I was a failure
That [D]I'd never make it, I [G]should be a tailor,
[D]Or failing that,
try to [A]sea as a sailor of boat[D]s.
So let others paint now,
[G]their touch is lighter,
[D]Some other author can be
[G]come the great fighter,
[D]I'll be content just [A]to
be a writer of [D]songs.
And some will love them
[G]an d others will hate [D]them
And I'll just hope that
[G]someone will rate them
And [D]maybe someday in[A]vestigate [G]them.
[D]Seriously
