Verse 1
D               D/C#           Bm          G
 Scared to speak,   finding words for an e-mail to you
D            D/C#               Bm           G
 Tried to see    through the hurt to find it stuck on my shoe
D         D/C#            Bm             G         Em
 Hanging on,  piece of gum, it's time to let it go loose
               G
Won't you just move on?


Chorus
    D              D/C#              Bm              G
And let me write a song like all the songs I love to listen to
D                  D/C#           Bm               G
Writing 'cause I'm healing, never writing songs to hurt you
D              D/C#         C                G
Using what I'm best at and I hope you do the same
                Em        G
I'd sure make a movie before plannin' on somethin' to say

Verse 2
D         D/C#     Bm      G          D
 I turned off the TV and I laid in my bed
        D/C#            Bm           G      D
Sat and thought blissfully listening to Elliott
             D/C#               Bm      G
Writing songs,   he did the same  about situations
D             D/C#             Bm           G        Em
 Would've been    just the same, you had to make it obvious
         G
Oh, come on, man


Chorus
    D              D/C#              Bm              G
And let me write a song like all the songs I love to listen to
D                  D/C#           Bm               G
Writing 'cause I'm healing, never writing songs to hurt you
D              D/C#         C                G
Using what I'm best at and I hope you do the same
                Em        G
I'd sure make a movie before plannin' on somethin' to say

Bridge
               D
And you messed up
           C
All by yourself
                Bm                      G
And I sat right here, secretly tried to help
             D
And I did my best
                C
And you'd never know
                 Em                        G
'Cause your satisfaction's for you just to gloat
              D
And it was my song
D/C#      C
Oh just a song
            Em                     G
You made it worse just by singing along
          Em
Just keep busy
             G
Oh, and make a movie
                             D
And I'll stick to writing my songs


Outro
             D/C#                    Bm
Getting tired    don't want to speak
           G            D
Oh, please let me go to sleep
             D/C#                    Bm
Getting tired    don't want to speak
           G            D
Oh, please let me go to sleep
             D/C#                    Bm
Getting tired    don't want to speak
           G            D
Oh, please let me go to sleep
             D/C#                    Bm
Getting tired    don't want to speak
           G
Oh, please let me go to sleep
