Tom: C
C Em7 F Em7
I'm gonna write a song for you
F Em7
something simple to whistle
Dm7 G
when you got nothing better to do
C Em7 F Em7
won't have no murders, won't have no ghosts
F Em7
just verses and chorus
Dm7 G C Em7 F G
and one or two solos at most
[Verse 2]
C Em7
won't need to be stellar
F Em7
it will help if it's good
F Em7
take it where it wants to go
Dm7 G
not where I think it should
C Em7
and if it don't work out
F Em7
it's got company
F Em7
most of the time writing a song
Dm7 G
is something you do for free
[Chorus]
C Em7 F G
won't change the world I guarantee that
C Em7
but if it helps you kick off your shoes
F G
it will help you take off your hat
C Em7 F Em7
won't change the world, won't make you love me more
F Em7
it's just gotta keep you
Dm7 G C Em7 F G
from walking on outta that door
[Verse 3]
C Em7 F Em7
well I'm gonna do a dance for you
F Em7
I saw it once in the seventies
Dm7 G
in a club on Fourth Avenue
C Em7 F Em7
forget what you do, forget who you are
F Em7
get high and enjoy the ride
Dm7 G
and watch yourself from afar
[Chorus]
C Em7 F G
won't change the world I guarantee that
C Em7
but if it helps you kick off your shoes
F G
it will help you take off your hat
C Em7 F Em7
won't change the world, won't make you love me more
F Em7
it's just gotta keep you
Dm7 G C Em7 F G
from walking on outta that door
[Solo]
C Em7 F G x4
[Verse 4]
C Em7
so, a song and a dance
F Em7
about all I got
F Em7
except for the smoke and the mirrors
Dm7 G
and a birthday or two I forgot
C Em7
so, if you will listen
F Em7
I'll play it for you sweet
F Em7
wrap it up in a big 'ol ball
Dm7 G C Em7 F G
and lay it, lay it right there at your feet
[Chorus]
C Em7 F G
won't change the world I guarantee that
C Em7
but if it helps you kick off your shoes
F G
it will help you take off your hat
C Em7 F Em7
won't change the world, won't make you love me more
F Em7
it's just gotta keep you
Dm7 Em7
it's just gotta keep you
F Em7
it's just gotta keep you
Dm7 G C Em7 F G
from walking on outta that door walking on outta that door
