An Open Letter To The Lyrical Trainspotter Chords

(ver. 1)
Mansun
[Intro]
Dm   F   Bb   A (x2)

[Verse 1]
    Dm                           F
I'm writing these words like the fool that I am
          Bb                          A
Trying to say something good like the person
         Dm                       F
But it's all just a sham 'cos the writer I am not
      Bb                    A
Could say anything, you'd believe them
          Dm                  F
Just your A-typical Boy-girl-girl-boy androgynous
Bb                   A
Play on a publican's decoy
       Dm
'Cos I had to drop out
         F
'Cos the Art School was sad and
        Bb
If you believe all of that
         A                Fm
You're a bigger fool than me

[Chorus]
C                             Am
The lyrics aren't supposed to mean that much
                             F
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice
                                  G
They aren't supposed to mean that much

[Verse 2]
Dm                         F
Lyrics mean nothing, don't right any wrongs
   Bb                       A
In fact I'm not having them on this
    Dm                         F
You say they mean nothing just gobbledy-gook
         Bb                           A
But just look at yourself you're not clever enough
      Dm                         F
Understanding the truth, you are so out of touch
       Bb                          A
You believe all of this, you can't see it's a spoof
      Dm                           F
Understand all the words when they don't even rhyme
         Bb
And I'm losing the rhythm
         A                                 Fm
And the whole thing's getting weirder and weirder

[Chorus]
C                             Am
The lyrics aren't supposed to mean that much
                              F
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice
                                  G
They aren't supposed to mean that much


C                             Am
The lyrics aren't supposed to mean that much
                              F
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice
                                  G
They aren't supposed to mean that much

[Bridge]
C    C/B     F
They all believe me
C    C/B    F    Fm
It's all so easy now

[Chorus]

C                             Am
The lyrics aren't supposed to mean that much
                              F
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice
                                  G
They aren't supposed to mean that much

C                             Am
The lyrics aren't supposed to mean that much
                              F
They're just a vehicle for a lovely voice
                                  G
They aren't supposed to mean that much

[Ending]
C
