The Songwriters Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]We [A]get[D] to[A][D]
break out of prison,
make love to our best friend's [A]wife,
have a beer for breakfast in Boston,
drink rum in Jamaica that [D]night.
[A]We [D]get to tell all our secrets
In a code no one under[G]stands
[D]We [A]get to shoot all the bad guys
And never get blood on our [D]hands
We're [G]heroes, we're schemers,
we're drunks, we're dreamers
[D]We're lovers and some[A]times
we're fight[D]ers
We're [G]students, we're teachers
We're the devil, we're preachers
[D]We're true love,
but mostly one [A]-nighters
We're the songwriter[D]s
Half of the [A]world [D]thinks we're [A]crazy
[D]The other half wants to be [A]us
They're jealous cause we get to hang out
In the back of some big
star's tour [D]bus
We're old boots and T -shirts
and blue jeans
We're capos and strings and E [G]-chords
We [A]only dress up in November
When they hand out
songwriters award[D]s
We're [G]heroes, we're schemers
We're the drunks,
we're the dreamer[D]s
We're lovers,
and some[A]times we're fight[D]ers
We're the [G]truth, we're the lies
We're stupid, we're wise
We're [D]true love,
but mostly one [A]-nighters
We're the songwriters
[D]We wri[G]te bridges,
[A]cross them and [D]burn them
Teach [Bm]les sons,
but don't bother [A]to learn them
Our [D]mamas don't know what we're doing
[A]Or [D]why[A] we [D]stay out al[A]l night [D]long[A]
I told mine I was a drug dealer
She said, well, thank God you
[D]ain't writing songs
We're [G]heroes, we're dreamers,
we're drunks, we're schemers
We're [D]lovers and [A]sometimes
we're fight[D]ers
We're the [G]students,
we're the [D]teachers
We're the [G]devil, we're preach[D]ers
We're true love but mostly
one [A]-nighters
We're the songwriter[D]s
Hey, you know the difference
between a large pizza and [A]a song[D]writer?
[A]A l[D]arge pizza can feed
a family of four.
Somebody asked me
why I wrote this song.
[A]I s[D]aid, w[A]ell, I[D]'m the only one that
[A]knew the words.[D]
Ain't we having a [D]good time?
You
