Standard (EADGBE)

She lost her heart to the boys in the band,

And everywhere the word she spread,

With every track made, they want another new fan,

And one day the publisher said:

Stop copying me,

This songs mine,

You got last one free,

Youll pay next time,

I got ripped and burned,

When you heard me,

Now the worm has turned

Stop copying me

I found another round robin just clogging up the mailbox,

Stuffing all the holes in my head,

With school plays, birthdays, trips around the Earth days,

Chuck it in the trash I said:

(Each line repeated by backing/ audience)

Stop copying me,

Youre not my friend,

If you press cc,

then you press send,

Why dont you call?

I might be free,

Pick up your phone,

And stop copying me

(Use barre chords to emphasis the key change)

You know I got no space to hang around on Facebook,

Or give my front page another tweak,

With mindless wittering, another twat twittering

If I communicate I speak:

Plagiarisation, dissertation, I’ll nick another essay from the net,

I been 3 years wasting, cutting and pasting, now Im £30 000 in debt

Stop copying me,

Lets use these words,

Unseal our lips,

Lets all be heard,

Take one deep breath,

The air is free,

In the time thats left,

Stop copying me,

Stop copying me,

Stop copying me,

Stop copying me!
