♫ Verse 3:
E
 I try hard to write a cool song
   G#m                B
So I start with something simple, like trying to put my shoes on
E                         G#m
 Now something kinda clicked, 'cause you relate a bit
          B
But no one's gonna care about a shoe song
E
 I try hard to write a cool song
   G#m           B
But I gotta make it matter so maybe I'll throw the news on
E                G#m
 Could I relate the shoes to 2022
       B
Or maybe an election down in Tucson?
E
 I try throwing something cool on
    G#m            B
So I'm listening to Kendrick and playing the swimming pool song
E
 But why did I do that?
           G#m
'Cause now I hate my track
           B
I'm quite aware I'll never write a cool song
E
 But who really needs a cool song?
F#      G#m           B
 There's so many better melodies why do you need a new one?
E          B/D#         C#m
 So stop writing a song about writing a song
           E
You're losing their attention, buddy, move on
