Intro:
Bbsus
Verse:
I wrote a simple song
Bbsus
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
Bbsus
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
Bbsus
They changed the words and the melody
Made it all sound wrong
Now it sounds like a symphony
