[N] I [Bb] guess the greatest [Ab] song ever written is the [C] man who wrote it, [Ab]
[A] called [G] Rupiah [C] Lysylo
That [G]
is showing you very courteous, but he is right, actually [Gm] he is the greatest song ever written, I did write it
I [G] [A] didn't even have a [C] grind up to help me

So [F] I thought, [C] the greatest song ever written, but the person who wrote it [Dm] didn't play it very well
[C]
It's not [G] my idea, these bastards insist on playing it so ridiculously fast, for god's sake I've only got [Gb] 10 fingers

Oh god is that?

[F]
[C] She travels the land, [F] to find [C] a house in the middle [F] of nowhere
[C]
As the girl flies, [Fm] she has to ask, what [C] a world without [G]
friends
[Am] [C] So with no shock, [F] she says, I like [C] the world without [G] friends
[C] She's going, [F] [C] but no one
[F] [C] understands why
The greatest [Cm] song [C]
ever written is the man who wrote it, called Rupiah Lysylo
That is showing [G] you very [Fm] courteous, [G] but [C]
he is [F] right, [G] [C]
[G] [C]
actually he is the greatest song ever written, I did write it
I'm not even going to say it, these bastards insist on playing it so ridiculously fast
So with no shock, she says, I like the world without friends
So I only went [F] around, around [C] the world
[G]
[C] I don't find it well [F] enough, [G] to say [C] what I really want
[G]
[C] [F] I can't say [C] what I really [G] want, until I know [C] what I really
[G] want
[C] I'm pretty sure I want [G] to leave [C] my town
So [F]

[C] I'm sorry I was stupid, I [F] was dumb, [G] I was a fool
[C] [G] [C]
Where are you standing?
[G]
[F] So I'm going [C] to walk up to you and say, you're free, bye [G] bye [C] USA
Free, bye [G] bye [C]
USA
Free, bye [G] bye [C] USA
