Tom: G G [Verse 1] Jonathan lives all on his own He can't have distraction in the home He stays locked in most days and nights Trying to create while the neighbours fight [Chorus] C F He says, "I don't have any inspiration C G And my subject matter lacks invention" [Verse 2] Jonathan's writing a book you see It's gonna be a masterpiece, a feat He doesn't have a title or a plot But he knows what's good and he knows what's not [Chorus] C F He says, "I don't have any inspiration C G And my subject matter lacks invention" C F If I only had an opening line C G Well, I'm sure the rest would turn out fine" [Verse 3] He's planning on at least a thousand pages It has to be a story for the ages But from War And Peace to How To Cook There's not much left for Jonathan's book [Chorus] C F He says, "I don't have any inspiration C G And my subject matter lacks invention" C F If I only had an opening line C G D Well, I'm sure the rest would turn out fine"
