Artist: They Might Be Giants
Song: Number Three
Album: They Might Be Giants
Chorus:
E A E
There's only two songs in me and I just wrote the third
E F# B
Don't know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words
E A E
Spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave
F#m A B E
For the two songs in me and the third one I just made
Verse 1:
A E
A rich man once told me -"hey, life's a funny thing"
A B
A poor man once told me that he can't afford to speak
Ab A
Now I'm in the middle like a bird without a beak
(Chorus)
Verse 2:
So I went to the president and I asked old whats-his-name
Has he ever gotten writer's block or something like the same?
He just started talking like he was on T.V.
E B E
"If there's just two songs in ya boy, what do you want from me?"
Verse 3:
So I bought myself some denim pants and a silver guitar
But I flatly told the ladies - you'll still have to call me 'sir'
'Cause I have to keep my self-respect or I'll never be a star
E A
Since there's just two songs in me and this is
E
Number three
