Matchbook Song

[C]This ain’t no love song
[Em]This ain’t organized and scripted happenstance
[F]This ain’t no ordinary radio selling straining for amends
[C]It ain’t this [B/G]and it ain’t [Am]that [B/G]
[C]This ain’t no sideshow striped out college vomit d[G]ance
It’s just a [F]song    [C]

[C]This ain’t Kansas and this ain’t Maine
[Em]This ain’t the stuffing in a scarecrow wearing nothing but the rain
This ain’t no [F]cheap and dismal trick or treat di-ag-nosed in a day
It’s what you [C]want, [B/G]so you s[Am]ay  [B/G]
[C]If you need something more then I’ll be on my [G]way
It’s just [F]song      [C]

[F]So here’s your posies, here’s my tray
What I[Am] hope we live long enough to see a better [G]day

This ain’t forever, there’s no such thing
This ain’t no frantic rag a-waiving for attention in my dreams
This ain’t political masturbation masquerading as a theme
Ain’t no psychology blowjob for a scream
It could be you or it could be me
But it’s just a song

So here’s your hook and he’s my line
I apologize, I couldn’t kill enough to you with rhyme

[Am]But I promise while these words may not re[G]sound
[C]I’ll always be here even if my heart is [G]wrong
[F]With just a song [C]

When we are strangers
and there ain’t no better place that we can go
This ain’t no sensational and cataclysmic centuries show
No high tech prophecy of doom or gold
I’m  only trying find the right road
It’s just a song

So here’s the hook and here’s my line
There ain’t nothing at the end, but it’s sinking all the time

Well this can’t be the only way back down
But it’s the only way I’ve got to reach the ground
With just this song
