Number Three
for TMBG in 4 Chords

             G                   C                G
There's only two songs in me and I just wrote the third
           G                              A7              D
Don't know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words
         G                             C               G
Spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave
        C                       D                G
For the two songs in me and the third one I just made

  C 
A rich man once told me
     G
"Hey life's a funny thing"
  C    
A poor man once told me
        D
That he can't afford to speak
    Em                       C
Now I'm in the middle like a bird without a beak 'cause

There's just two songs in me and I just wrote the third
Don't know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words
Spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave
For the two songs in me and the third one I just made

So I went to the President
And I asked old what's-his-name
Has he ever gotten writer's block
Or something like the same
He just started talking
Like he was on TV
                 G 
"If there's just two songs in ya, boy
D                  G
Whaddaya want from me?"

So I bought myself some denim pants
And a silver guitar
But I politely told the ladies
"You'll still have to call me Sir
Because I have to keep my self-respect
I'll never be a star
                   G
Since there's just two songs in me
    C              G 
And this is Number Three"
