Intro

Verse

I wrote a simple song

With simple words and harmony

It wasn't very long before a star I was bound to be

I didn't care if it made the charts

I only wrote it for you and me

They think that they're so smart

They're not as smart as they want to be

They took my simple song

They changed the words and the melody

Made it all sound wrong

Now it sounds like a symphony

Orchestra Sequence:

Chorus

That song was personal

I wrote it for you, it's yours and mine, girl

Verse

I don't care if it makes the charts

I only wrote it for you and me

They think that they're so smart

They're not as smart as they want to be

Chorus

Who told them to mess with mine

Who gave them the right

That song was personal

I wrote it for you, it's yours and mine, girl

(Fade out with verse chords)

Rest in peace, Billy
