Chord/Tab song: How to Write a Love Song

Chord,Tablature, lyric, sheet, guitar, ukulele song: How to Write a Love Song - ( Tuning: Standard (EADGBe) Capo: 6 The other versions ove...)

--
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Capo: 6

The other versions overlooked a simple chord change in the finger picking in the song for the 4th and 5th
chords. I'm using a different capo to adjust for that. The hardest part is actually the first key change. If
you don't have a cutaway guitar, it may be difficult to play the D#.

Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Capo: 6

N.C. Bm7 F#m
Now cut the music while I sing a long note

SPOKENWORD
[Bm7]Hey girl I've been standing at the back not doing m[F#m7]uch for this song
But that's because my talents are quite limited[Bm7] but that don't mean that I love you any less
In fact[F#m7] it means the opposite (Im just showing off my v[Bm7]oice) its just it's so hard for me to find the words
To really expr[F#m7]ess the way that I feel about you girl
Especially when I have to w[Bm7]orry about fitting those words to music
And there's some kind of rhyme str[F#m7]ucture involved (Meaningless Whisper)
[Bm7] I know it's lazy song writing but I don't care
Cause I sl[F#m7]eep on a big pile of money at night
[Bm7] Girl You might think it's weird, girl
That three guys are singing about just [F#m7]one girl, girl
But let me tell you something, girl,[Bm7] it's not weird at all
In fact, girl, It's an industry standard[F#m7] and it happens all the time (Happens all the t[Bm7]ime)
[F#m7] [G]

Well girl I better wrap this up about now cause I'm about to be cut off by- (Woah-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh)


CHORUS 3
B[D]aby I wrote you a love s[A]ong
It wasn't h[F#m]ard It really didn't t[G]ake long
A t[D]otally generic l[A]ove song
Yeah r[F#m]eally this could be about [G]anyone
But it's for y[D]ou yeah this is your l[A]ove song
N[F#m]on-Specific g[G]irl
To let you kn[D]ow we take it seriousl[A]y
Th[Bb]en watch as we change the k[G#]ey

CHORUS 4
When you ch[D#]ange the key in a l[Bb]ove song
It m[Gm]eans your singing passionatel[G#]y
But We st[D#]ill haven't reached the [Bb]end
No because were g[B]onna go and change the key ag[A]ain

CHORUS 5
L[E]ook at me I'm singing a l[B]ove song
Yeah [G#m]anyone can sing a shtty l[A]ove
Our l[E]ove is so un[B]ique
That I copied every other shtty l[E]ove song (Girl)
