Teddy Thompson - Jonathans Book

      Teddy Thompson - Jonathan's Book


CAPO: 2nd Fret



[Intro]
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"
