Anyone can take four chords and write a pop song. (Draft)

Anyone can take four chords and write a pop song.
Make some little bullshit ditty that won't last very long.
And people will melt once they hear it, fall into each others arms
And think "Well this is how love's supposed to be."

But it takes musicians to make music, dear, takes talent, devotion, a little fear
To make things worth hearing about, and melodies worth belting out
So when you ask me what I'm singing today, who I'm seeing, what I'll play
I'll look into your eyes and say "Well, 'love' ain't the right word to say."

So let's make music. Let's make sure they hear us sing
Make sure it's a song we remember, in spite of every everything.
Yeah, let's write music. I'll sell tickets to the show
Because when I'm singing songs about you, I want everyone to know.

See because in our life, the world is lying
Forcing love to lie down, sad and crying
And the chorus she's listening to is out of key,
Yes, they're all doing disservice to their hearts.

So let's make music. Let's make sure we harmonize
Make sure the lyrics are worth reading, make other lovers cry.
Yeah, let's write music. And let's be happy as we go.
And just in case you're wondering, here what you should know:
That I want music. I want a girl whose eyes will smile
Every time that she is around me, if only for a while
So let's make music, through the song our fingers flow
You won't have to work too hard, it's a song you already know.
