[Verse 1]
G G/F# Em7 D
Everyone I know stumbles on a song
C C/B Am D
And they love their songs, hell I love their songs
G G/F# Em7 D
Hit after hit and tat for tit
C C/B D
But it seems that I've been gettin' it wrong
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C Cm
Well, some guys are happy to hit and run
G D
But I don't think that'd be much fun
C Cm D
I'd rather turn you into all the records I should have made
[Chorus 1]
G D C D
I don't ever wanna be your one hit wonder
G D C D
Honey, would you be my greatest hit?
G D C D
If I sold this song, I'd be pimpin' ya' out
C Cm
Be my inspiration, darlin', be my box set

[Verse 2]
G G/F# Em7 D
I wrote my first song at the age of 15
C C/B Am D
And I didn't touch that instrument again for a year
G G/F# Em7 D
But I picked it back up cause I thought I knew how to use it
C C/B D
Hoping my words could nibble her ears
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C Cm
But I couldn't get her to sing along
G D
And I learned that you can't force a song
C Cm D
It's like writing wedding vows for a prostitute
[Chorus 1]
G D C D
And I don't ever wanna be your one hit wonder
G D C D
Honey, would you be my greatest hit?
G D C D
If I sold this song, I'd be pimpin' ya' out
C Cm
Be my inspiration, darlin', be my box set

[Verse 3]
G G/F# Em7 D
I wrote a million tunes like I was practicing
C C/B Am D
So I could get 'em all right for you
G G/F# Em7 D
Well, I need you to be my capo
C C/B D
Oh, could you keep me in tune?
[Pre-Chorus 3]
C Cm
Well, you won't have to do much, just be yourself
G D
And we'll move into the Brill Building
C Cm
And we'll audition our songs and we'll let the neighbors watch
[Chorus 3]
G D C D
'Cause I don't ever wanna be your one hit wonder
G D C D
Honey, would you be my greatest hit?
G D C D
If I sold this song, I'd be pimpin' ya' out

Be my inspiration, darlin'...

I don't ever wanna be your one hit wonder

If I sold this song, I'd be pimpin' ya' out
