      [Verse]
G                           C         G
I’ll sit here for hours and waste the day
     D                                 G
Just tryin to think of words for me to play
     D                                  Em
Everything that comes out well it’s all wrong
  G                  C      G
I never been good at writin songs

[Verse]
G                        C        G
I’ll write bout girls or about my truck
    D                        G
But I ain’t had me a lick of luck
D                                Em
Chris and Ronnie make it look so easy
          G                 C       G
But every line I try sounds so darn cheesy

[Chorus]
  D
I can’t write a song to save my life
   G
It makes me angry yeah it gives me strife
           D                                Em
If I could only get it out Lord well I’d be fine
      G                            C     G
But I can’t write a song no matter how I try

[Verse]
G                              C              G
I’ll write when happy and I’ll write when I’m sad
       D                     G
But it never fails to get me mad
D                             Em 
I hear songs that describe me well
         G                C       G
But everything I try just goes to hell

[Chorus]
  D
I can’t write a song to save my life
   G
It makes me angry yeah it gives me strife
           D                                Em
If I could only get it out Lord well I’d be fine
      G                            C     G
But I can’t write a song no matter how I try

[Verse]
G                              C      G
This little rhyme here came to me one day
       D                        G
Didn’t seem half bad so I wrote away
   D                                     Em
If this don’t work out then I think I’ll quit
   G                    C         G
It ain’t like anybody’s gonna buy it

[Chorus]
  D
I can’t write a song to save my life
   G
It makes me angry yeah it gives me strife
           D                                Em
If I could only get it out Lord well I’d be fine
      G                            C     G
But I can’t write a song no matter how I try
