[E] I try throwing something cool on
So I'm [Abm]listening to Kendrick and
[B]playing the swimming pool song
[E] But why did I do that?
'Cause now I hate my [Abm]track
I'm quite aware I'll [B]never write a cool song
[E] But who really needs a cool song?
[Gb] There's so [Abm]many better
melodies why [B]do you need a new one?

You're losing their at[E]attention, buddy, move on
