Em - xx2453 Am - x02210 C - x32010 E - 022100 [Intro] C Am F (x2) [Verse 1]
              C              Am                 F
What would it sound like if you were the songwriter

          C         Am           F
And you made your living off of me?

          Em                  Am                F
Would you detail your near-constant consternation?

                    Em                 Am                 F
Or the way my very presence makes your muses up and flee?
[Chorus 1]
Em                  Am           F
Goodbye, little songbird, I can leave

Em           Am                     E           F
Goodbye, my love, is there anything else you need?

C Am F (x2)
Ad lib
[Verse 2]
               C             Am                F
What would it sound like if you were the songwriter

         C           Am        F
And you did your living around me?

            Em         Am             F
Would you undress me repeatedly in public

                  Em        Am            F
To show how very noble and naked you can be?
[Chorus 2]
Em                  Am                 F
Goodbye, little songbird, now you're free

                      Em          Am
Don't forget I'm the only fan of yours

                      E             F
Who has the sense to ever leave you be

               E          F
How could you do this to me?

C Am Em (x2)
Ad lib
[Outro]
               C             Am                  F
What would it sound like if you were the songwriter

           C            Am              F
And loving me was your unsung masterpiece?
F
