What's up acoustic motel?
Sorry, I must sound [E] muted somehow, which is never a good thing.
Got a new song this week.
Went to Nashville last [A] week for the CMA Awards, [D] which was fun, [G] it was cool.
[Em] Got to sit next to Captain Michael, which was [N] nice.
But while I was there, I did the smartest thing I've ever done as far as that week goes.
Instead of just sitting around getting drunk all the time, talking to business people,
I spent most of my days [Dm] writing songs.
[E] [F] You know, I've told you before,
[Fm] talking about meters, [N]
whatever, it had [Dm] to be for me.
This [Eb] is a song I'm not even sure it's finished, [E] it's called What's a Boy to Do.
I [N] wrote it with Mondo Science, who is a buddy of mine from good.
The song, so this is going to sound rough, but

Don't think what [F] you can't [C] say out [D] loud Don't [F] wonder why you're all alone
[C] [F] I didn't mean to [Gm] make you cry [C] Guess I wasn't thinking
[Am] But no words don't [Gm] come out [C] right
What's [F] a boy to do?
If we work it [C] out [Gm] somehow
