Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
I don't feel like writing funny
D 
songs anymore
Tongue got caught in cheek and I'm weak
G 
from chatting with the record store
Some folks think that's funny I said, son,
C 
you can't make no money and it must be wrong
Writin' funny stories,
G 
D 
G 
singin' funny songs
Who cares about laughin' at the record
D 
that almost made it on the charts
You'd rather be cryin' and dyin' on the way
G 
to the bank with your broken hearts
We'll let the folks in
Radio
C 
Land all join hands, sing along
D 
Sad songs are better,
like teardrops on a letter
And sad, sad movies make you cry
And we all need all the
G 
teardrops we can buy
I don't feel like writing
D 
funny songs anymore
My tongue got caught in my cheek and I'm weak
G 
from checkin' with the record store
What for?
Now some folks think that's funny
I said, son, you can't make no money
C 
and it must be wrong
G 
Writin' funny stories,
D 
G 
singin' funny songs
Who cares if my twang is a thang and
D 
my voice that I got from the radio
As long as the sound makes you feel like
G 
you're down and you got no place to go
Well, if you're lost and crying in your beard,
C 
G 
C 
I'm right here to help it down
D 
Sad songs are better,
like teardrops on a letter
And sad, sad movies make you cry
And we all need all the
G 
teardrops we can buy
D 
I don't feel like writing funny
My tongue got caught in my cheek
And I'm weak from check
G 
ing with the record store
What for?
Now some folks think that's funny
And I said, son,
you can't make no money
C 
And it's wrong
G

Write funny stories
G 
Singing funny songs
D 
Write funny stories
G 
Singing funny songs
D 
Writin' funny stories
Sad songs are better
Like teardrops on a letter
G 
Singin' funny songs
