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 stick
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

Just me tellin' her
That (G) she‰s the every breath I draw
And how I (C) can‰t live without her
And I could never doubt her
ëcause (A7) she could never do no wr(D7)ong
 
Well it‰s the (G) right amount of timin'
The proper form of rhymin'
A little guitar, then it‰s (C) gone
