Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

This song sounds dramatic

but I'm bad at writing words.

If you don't speak English,

this probably sounds pretty good.

You'd probably think I'm singing

bout some pretty serious stuff.

But in reality, I'm singing 'bout

the lack of stuff i'm

singing 'bout.

This part's intense.

And emotional.

As long as

you don't understand it.

Your foreign grandma

would love this song.

Please send it to her,

and she'll probably tell her

foreign friends about the song her

grandson or daughter sent her today.

This song might hit the charts in her

country if parts sounded like

Coldplay.

If the chorus sounds like Cold-play.

Then I put some 'La- La-La's in there.

La la la la la,

la la la la la la la (Coldplay)

Hopefully your foreign grandma

listens to this song everyday.

And if she asks you to

translate the lyrics, here's what you say:

"A perfect translation does not exist.

Well, at least, not in your language.

But if you must know, well, picture this:

Fifty billion rainbows,

and the sun is setting,

and the moon is setting, also,

and you're there in a gazebo.

And then God descends from heaven and He gives

you a million dollars.

Take that feeling,

and put it into a song.

I could translate word by word,

but that'd take too long.

And I've got stuff to do grandma.

I don't have time for this.

You've gotta trust me grandma,

this freakin' song is brilliant...t

Thanks for rating.
