Verse 1
  
F                         F7 
I prayed to God that the angel of music 
  Bb                      Bbm 
Would come down and give me a €song 
         F                           F7 
That €…the words would €…be true and say something so €…new 
           Bb                    Bbm 
That the world would start singing along 
  
    Bb                        Bbm 
And I was surprised when the angel replied 
       Am                       Dm 
With a note that he stuck to my door 
           Bb                   C        F 
That said "nobody wants to hear songs anymore" 
  
  
Verse 2
  
F                      F7 
I wrote a song for the love of my life 
      Bb              Bbm 
And I bled into every note 
      F                      F7 
And I poured out my soul and surrendered control 
     Bb                  Bbm 
Into each line and lyric I wrote 
  
         Bb                    Bbm 
But when I finished singing my lover just yawned 
        Am                    Dm 
And continued to stare at the floor 
        Bb                   C        F 
Saying "nobody wants to hear songs anymore" 
  
  
Bridge
  
Dm                        A 
Oh when did it all get so boring? 
Bb                    F      A 
How did it all get so bad? 
Dm                         Gm 
Why does nobody care for a story? 
           C                         Bb 
Swallowing hooks without lines or intentional rhymes 
        F                  G 
But whatever as long as we dance 
  
   Bb            F           C          F 
So pull down the staging and cancel the show 
Bb           F           C 
Tell all the bands to go home 
Bb       F         C           F 
Burn the piano and tear up the score 
       Bb                   C     F 
'cause nobody wants to hear songs anymore
