The Cheapest Key Lyrics

CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: G C C-Cadd9-C-F C C-Cadd9-C-F
A is for all the times I bit my tongue
B is for bullsh*t and you fed me some
C is for charity and now you're mine
D is for dollars, but you're counting dimes
E is the exit sign, backstage at shows
F is my favourite letter, as you know
G is for god loves a patient man
Who spends his days living in ego-land
CHORUS:
You always write it in the cheapest key
You always blame it on the cheapest key
You always play me in the cheapest key
They say the start's always the hardest part
But like you know, baby, I'm all warmed up
Sometimes I want to shout your name out loud
And let them in on what you're all about
CHORUS:
You always write it in the cheapest key
You always blame it on the cheapest key
You always play me in the cheapest key
INSTRUMENTAL: C C-Cadd9-C-F C C-Cadd9-C-F C C-Cadd9-C-F C C-Cadd9-C-F
BRIDGE:
But don't get me wrong, here comes my softer side
And there it goes
'Cause I've been on the road too long to sympathize
With what you think you're owed
CHORUS:
You always write it in the cheapest key
You always blame it on the cheapest key
You always play me in the cheapest key
OUTRO:
The cheapest key
The cheapest key
