[G]
[C] [G] Hey [C] Matt, hey Matt, here's the thing.
You know I [F] love writing [G] songs, but I can't sing.
[F] Need a little advice [G] or something.
[F] Just a couple pointers, [G] so I gave you Matt [C] a ring.
[G] Don't wanna waste [Am] your time.
I'm sure [F] you're on the road, driving [C] all night.
[G] But Matt I could use some [Am] advice.
[F] Cause I've been off key all [C] my life.
[G] This time I learned [F] since.
That's why I'm giving [G] you a ring.
La la la la la [Em] la la la.
[C] Hey Walt, hey Walt, here's the deal.
[F] You sing too high, [G] it's got no appeal.
[F] You sing [Bb] too low, it [G] just don't sound real.
So [F] just close your eyes [G] Walt, sing what [C] you feel.
[G] You know Walt, I got a little exercise we can try.
Repeat after me.
[C] Okay.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [G] oh, oh, oh.
Okay, that's pretty good.
Let's [C] try ah.
Ah, ah, ah, [F] ah, ah, [C] ah, ah, [F] ah, [C] ah, ah, [G] ah, ah, ah.
And Walt don't waste [Am] your time.
Singing [F] about love and [C] lonely nights.
[G] Cause no one's gonna [Am] pay a dime.
To [F] stand in line, to hear [C] you whine.
[G] You gotta sing [F] something new.
Just try to keep [G] it in tune.
Lord knows that's all I do.
[C] Hey Matt, hey Matt, I guess that's all.
You know I [F] really [G] appreciate you taking my [F] calls.
For helping me [G] out with my singing and all.
[F] You know Matt, you got a very, [G] very special voice.
But [F] I admit, for this song, you weren't my [G] first choice.
You see Matt, [F] I tried to get Randy [G] Newman.
But [F] Randy Newman never actually [G] responded.
So thanks for [F] stepping in Matt.
[G] It really means a [C] lot.
Thanks Matt.
No problem Walt.
You really asked Randy Newman to sing in this song?
Yeah, I did actually.
That would have been awesome.
Yeah, I know.
Why didn't he do it?
I don't really know.
I'm thinking maybe he thought my organ playing was too flashy or something.
I don't know.
Or maybe he's not into hand claps, you know.
Yeah.
Alright, let's keep practicing. Alright.
Oh.

[F] Ah.
