[F] [Am] [Dm] [Dm] [Bb] [C] [F] [F]
[Verse 1]
[F]This is what the [Am]Lord wants me to [Dm]do
In my [Bb]heart, I just [C]believe that there's no [F]proof
I [Bb]think about the [C]chorus, the [F]melody's [Dm]important
But [Bb]nothing sounds [C]sweeter than the [F]truth
I [F]used to sip the [Am]whiskey and hit the [Dm]bong
I [Bb]gave that up, now [C]all my friends are [F]gone
And my [Bb]folks don't under[C]stand I [F]ain't no macho [Dm]man
But [Bb]I know how to [C]write one hell of a [F]song
[Chorus]
Yeah, I[Am]'m a [Dm]- shy young [Am]man with a -[Bb] real big h[F]eart
[Dm]I still haven't [Am]found where I [Bb]belong[F]
But [Am]you know [Dm]- my sweet [Am]Lord gave me [Bb]- just one [F]thing
Darling, [Bb]I know how to [C]write one hell of a [Dm]song
Yeah, [Bb]I know how to [C]write one hell of a [F]song
[Verse 2]
[F]Wrote one for [Am]Snoop, did not take [Dm]long
[Bb]Wrote one for [C]Bieber and one for [F]Sean
And Jay Z [Bb]offered me a [C]deal
I said [F]"Dawg, throw in another [Dm]mil"
Cause [Bb]you know I can [C]write one hell of a [F]song
[Chorus]
Yeah, I[Am]'m a [Dm] - shy young[Am] man with a [Bb]- real big [F]heart
[Dm]I still haven't [Am]found where I [Bb]belong[F]
But [Am]you know [Dm]- my sweet [Am]Lord gave me [Bb]- just one [F]thing
Darling, [Bb]I know how to [C]write one hell of a [Dm]song
