Intro: (C)  (D7)  (G)

This is a (G) three minute song
To tell her that I love her
And how wonderful we get along
A sweet sentiment that’s borderline slick
A (A7) lotta right and not much (D7) wrong

It’s a (G) little bit edgy, but softer than spaghetti
(C) Weak yet redundantly str(G)ong
It’s a three minute positive
(D7) Not too country up-tempo (G) love song

(G7) Yeah, it’s a (C) three minute positive
Not too country up-tempo (G) love song
It’s a (C) way for me to tell her that I love her
But it can’t be (D7) too long
There’ll be no (G) drinkin' no cheatin'
No lyin' no leavin' that stuff it just don’t be(C)long
In a (G) three minute positive
(D7) Not too country up-tempo (G) love song

The proper form of rhymin'
