Ch[Bm7]imes [Bm7/G] [Bm7/E] Synthetic Percussi[A7]on[A7/Bb]
Baby G[Bm7]irl, I wanna sh[Bm7/G]ow you how much I really l[Bm7/E]ove you (How much I r[A7]eally love y[A7/Bb]ou)
Baby G[Bm7]irl, That's what I c[Bm7/G]all you to show you that my l[Bm7/E]ove for you is true[A7] [A7/Bb]
Baby G[Bm7]irl, Our l[Bm7/G]ove is so great that I wr[Bm7/E]ote you this s[A7]ong[A7/Bb]
and to sh[Bm7]ow you how much I really c[Bm7/G]are it sounds like [Bm7/E]every other one[A7] [A7/Bb]
[Bm7]The beat kicks in and then I s[Bm7/G]ing a bit more rhythmically,
[Bm7/E] To make it sensual I s[A7]ing it in a m[A7/Bb]inor key
[Bm7] I move my hands like I'm push[Bm7/G]ing someone in front of me
[Bm7/E] Now that's the first verse and n[A7]ow I'm gonna t[A7/Bb]ake it to the br[Gmaj7]idge
[Gmaj7]I say s[Gmaj7/F#]omething 'bout how I dont wanna br[Gmaj7/E]eak up, Then I t[Gmaj7/F#]urn around and rhyme it with
M[Gmaj7]ake up. I t[Gmaj7/F#]ell you that we should be tog[Gmaj7/E]ether (How Long?) For[Gmaj7/F#]ever (That Long)
and [Gmaj7]Ever (So Long) Girl your [Gmaj7/F#]always in my h[Gmaj7/E]eart (In my heart) and I n[Gmaj7/F#]ever want to be
ap[Gmaj7]art (Never be apart) Honey y[Gmaj7/F#]ou'll always be m[Gmaj7/E]ine (Baby be Mine) Baby g[Gmaj7/F#]irl it's chorus t[G]ime
[G] Th[D]is is how you write a l[A]ove song
Yeah th[F#m]is is how you write a cliche l[G]ove song
Th[D]is is how you write a love s[A]ong
Yeah a sh[F#m]*tty 90's R n' B l[Bm7]ove song
[Bm7]This is my backup and he s[Bm7/G]ings quite breathilly (Breathilly)
[Bm7/E]He takes the words I say and s[A7]ings them after m[A7/Bb]e (Sings em after me)
[Bm7]He emphasizes words and s[Bm7/G]ings emphatically (I sing emphatically)
Bm7/E N.C. Gmaj7
Now listen to us sing in A Capella harmony
[Gmaj7] N[Gmaj7/F#]ow were back at the br[Gmaj7/E]idge I haven't wr[Gmaj7/F#]itten anything for
Th[Gmaj7]is. So I'm g[Gmaj7/F#]onna str[Gmaj7/E]etch [Gmaj7/F#]out the w[Gmaj7]ords
[Gmaj7/F#] Repeating [Gmaj7/E]everything I s[Gmaj7/F#]ay
Til I g[Gmaj7]et (Til I get) Til I g[Gmaj7/F#]et (Til I get) Til I g[Gmaj7/E]et (Til I get)Yeah til I g[Gmaj7/F#]et back to the chor[Gmaj7]us
[G] Th[D]is is how you write a l[A]ove song
Yeah a sh[F#m]*tty, sh*tty, sh*tty, sh*tty l[G]ove song
And to sh[D]ow you I care I throw my h[A]ands in the air
N.C. Bm7 F#m
Now cut the music while I sing a long note
[Bm7]Hey girl I've been standing at the back not doing m[F#m7]uch for this song
But that's because my talents are quite limited[Bm7] but that don't mean that I love you any less
In fact[F#m7] it means the opposite (Im just showing off my v[Bm7]oice) its just it's so hard for me to find the words
To really expr[F#m7]ess the way that I feel about you girl
Especially when I have to w[Bm7]orry about fitting those words to music
And there's some kind of rhyme str[F#m7]ucture involved (Meaningless Whisper)
[Bm7] I know it's lazy song writing but I don't care
Cause I sl[F#m7]eep on a big pile of money at night
[Bm7] Girl You might think it's weird, girl
That three guys are singing about just [F#m7]one girl, girl
But let me tell you something, girl,[Bm7] it's not weird at all
In fact, girl, It's an industry standard[F#m7] and it happens all the time (Happens all the t[Bm7]ime)
[F#m7] [G]
Well girl I better wrap this up about now cause I'm about to be cut off by- (Woah-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh)
B[D]aby I wrote you a love s[A]ong
It wasn't h[F#m]ard It really didn't t[G]ake long
A t[D]otally generic l[A]ove song
Yeah r[F#m]eally this could be about [G]anyone
But it's for y[D]ou yeah this is your l[A]ove song
N[F#m]on-Specific g[G]irl
To let you kn[D]ow we take it seriousl[A]y
Th[Bb]en watch as we change the k[G#]ey
When you ch[D#]ange the key in a l[Bb]ove song
It m[Gm]eans your singing passionatel[G#]y
But We st[D#]ill haven't reached the [Bb]end
No because were g[B]onna go and change the key ag[A]ain
L[E]ook at me I'm singing a l[B]ove song
Yeah [G#m]anyone can sing a sh*tty l[A]ove
Our l[E]ove is so un[B]ique
That I copied every other sh*tty l[E]ove song (Girl)
