Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Dm][Am][F][C][Dm][Am][F]

[Verse 1]
What would it [C]sound
like if [Am]you were t[F]he songwriter
And you [C]made [Am]your living
off of [F]me
Would you de[Dm]tail your near-constant
consternation
consterna[F]tion
Or the way my very [Am]presence makes
your [G]muses up and flee
[F]

[Verse 2]
[Em]Goodbye, little song[C]bird,
I can [F]leave
[Em]Goodbye, my [C]love, is there anything [E]else

[Interlude 1]
you need?
[F][C][Am][F][C][Dm][Am]
[F]

[Verse 3]
What would it [C]sound like if [Am]you
were [F]the songwriter
And you [C]did [Am]your living around me?
[F]Would you und[Dm]ress me
repeatedly in [F]public
To show how very [Am]noble and na
[G]ked you can be?
[F]

[Verse 4]
[Em]Goodbye, little song[C]bird,
now [F]you're free
Don't forget [Em]I'm the only fan of y[C]ours
who has the sense to [E]ever leave [F]you be
How could you [E]do this to

[Interlude 2]
me?
[F][C][Dm][Am][F]

[Verse 5]
[C]What [Dm]would[F] it sound li[C]ke if
[Am]you were t[F]he songwriter
And loving [C]me was [Am]your
unsung masterpiece?
[F]
