I Wrote A Song About Being Uninspired

Tom: C

C

[Verse 1]
C                            Em
I will never create something good enough
          Am               F
For you to stop at once and take a glance
C                 Em
I will never sing sweet enough
           Am                          F
For you to walk on over here and lend a listening ear

[Chorus]
C            Em      Am       F
I am feeling so uninspired
       C                  Em                  Am           F
As the nights pass by the moon shall wane and I am growing tired
C                     Em
Please take note it's not the end
           Am                         F
But right now the rain seems to be my only friend
    C                 Em               Am       F
And I can’t shake the feeling of being empty
         C      Em      Am
Oh I got nothing, I got nothing
                  F                    C       Em   Am   F
Wish I’d give you something, but I got nothing

[Verse 2]
C
Take a pen and write the words down
     Em
Then I’ll have something to sing about
        Am                               F
But the problem is I can’t articulate my thoughts
     C
Such little time leads to messy rhymes
            Em
Should have seen the warning signs
              Am                           F
I’m not fine, tell me why it’s tearing me apart
             C                     Em                    Am                           F
I only got one chance, I only got one shot, they like to say that the crowd "could" love ya

[Chorus]
C            Em      Am       F
I am feeling so uninspired
       C                  Em                  Am           F
As the nights pass by the moon shall wane and I am growing tired
C                     Em
Please take note it's not the end
           Am                         F
But right now the rain seems to be my only friend
    C                 Em               Am       F
And I can’t shake the feeling of being empty
         C      Em      Am
Oh I got nothing, I got nothing
                  F                    C
Wish I’d give you something, but I got nothing
   Em    Am F
Oh oh oh oh oh

[Instrumental]
C Em Am F

[Chorus]
C            Em      Am       F
I am feeling so uninspired
        C                         Em
There’s nothing new to add to the dialogue
   Am               F
To take my position higher
C                     Em
Please take note I’ll try again
     Am                            F
Then maybe write a song that you’ll understand
C                Em               Am    F           C
Once I shake the feeling of being empty, then I’ll have something
Em                    Am                    F                    C
Instead of giving you nothing, oh I’ll have something, I'll have something
   Em    Am F
Oh oh oh oh oh
