Intro
[C#m7] [C#m7/A] S[C#m7/F#]teel String Guita[C#m7/B]r[C#m7/C]
[C#m7]Chimes [C#m7/A] S[C#m7/F#]ynthetic Percussi[C#m7/B]on[C#m7/C]
[C#m7]Baby Girl, I wanna [C#m7/A]show you how much I really [C#m7/F#]love you
How much I [C#m7/B]really love y[C#m7/C]ou
Baby Gi[C#m7]rl, That's what I c[C#m7/A]all you to show you that my[C#m7/F#] love for you is true
[C#m7/B] [C#m7/C]
Baby Gi[C#m7]rl, I [C#m7/A]love you so great that I[C#m7/F#] wrote you this [C#m7/B]song[C#m7/C]
and to s[C#m7]how you how much I really [C#m7/A]care it sounds like [C#m7/F#]every other one
[C#m7/B] [C#m7/C]
[C#m7]The beat kicks in and then I [C#m7/A]sing a bit more rythmically
T[C#m7/F#]o make it sensual I [C#m7/B]sing it in a [C#m7/C]minor key
[C#m7]I move my hands like I'm pu[C#m7/A]shing someone in front of me
[C#m7/F#]Now that's the first verse and [C#m7/B]now I'm gonna [C#m7/C]take it to the [A]bridge
I say [Abm]something bout how I dont wanna [F#m]break up
then i [Abm]turn around and rhyme it with [A]make up
I [Abm]tell you that we should be [F#m]together (How Long)
[Abm]Forever (That's Long)
and [A]Ever (So Long)
Girl your [Abm]always in my [F#m]heart (In my Heart)
and I [Abm]never want to be [A]apart (Never be apart)
Honey [Abm]you'll always be [F#m]mine (Baby be Mine)
Baby [Abm]girl it's chorus [F#m]time
[A]This is how you write a l[B]ove song
Yeah [Abm]this is how you write a cliche [F#m]love song
[A]This is how you write a [B]love song
Yeah a sh*tty 90's R n' B love song
This i[C#m7]s my backup and he[C#m7/A] sings quite breathilly (Breathilly)
He[C#m7/F#] takes the words I sing and[C#m7/B] sings them a[C#m7/C]fter me (Sings em after me)
He [C#m7]emphasises words an[C#m7/A]d sings them emphatically (I sing EMPHATICALLY)
[C#m7/F#]Now listen to us singing acapella harmony[A]
[Abm] Now were back at the [F#m]bridge
I haven't [Abm]written anything for [A]this
So. I'm. [Abm]gooo honna. [F#m]streeh heeetch. [Abm]ooout. the w[A]ords.
[Abm] repeating [F#m]everything i [Abm]say
Til I [A]get (Til I get)
Til I [Abm]get (Til I get)
Til I [F#m]get (Til I get)
Til I [Abm]get back to the chorus[F#m]
[A]This is how you write a [B]love song
[Abm]Yeah a sh*tty, sh*tty, sh*tty, sh*tty [F#m]love song
And to [A]show you I care I throw m[B]y hands in the air
And cut the music while I sing a long n[C#m]oooooooote[Abm]
[C#m]Hey girl I've been standing up the back not doing m[Abm]uch for this song
But that's because my talents are quite limite[C#m]d
But that don't mean that I love you any less[Abm]
In fact it means the opposite (Im just showing off my voice)
[C#m] It just it's so hard for me to find the words
To really express the[Abm] way that I feel about you girl
Especially whe[C#m]n I have to worry about fitting those words to music
And there's some kind of rhym[Abm]e structure involved (Meaningless Whisper)
[C#m]I know it's lazy song writing but I dont care
[Abm]Cos I sleep on a big pile of money at night
[C#m] girl You might think it's weird girl
that three guys are singing about the[Abm] one girl girl
But let me tell you something girl it'[C#m]s not weird at all
In fact girl It's an industry standard[Abm]
and it happens all the time (Happens all the time)
[C#m]Well girl I better wrap this up about now[Abm] cos I just about to cut off by..
Woahowoahowoahoahoh[F#m]
[A]Baby I wrote you a [B]love song
It wasn't [Abm]hard It really didn't [F#m]take long
A[A] totally generic [B]love song
Yeah r[Abm]eally this could be about [F#m]anyone, but it's for you
y[A]eah this is a lov[B]e song, [Abm]Non-Specific [F#m]girl
T[A]o let you know we take it s[B]eriously
Then [C]watch as we change the [Gm]key
When you [Bb]change the key in a [C]love song
It [Am]means your singing passiona[Gm]tely
but We [Bb]still haven't reached the [C]end
now were [C#]gonna change the key a[Abm]gain
[F#]Look at me I'm singing a l[C#]ove song
Yeah [Bbm]anyone can sing a sh*tty l[Abm]ove
Ou[F#]r love is so[C#] unique
That I[Bbm] copied every other[F#] sh*tty love song
Girl
