[Intro]
Db Dbsus4 Dbsus2 Db
[Verse 1]
Db Ebm Db/F Gb
There are times that I wish that I had a voice that wasn’t mine
Db/F Gb Absus4 Ab
Something deep down in the valleys of my range
Gb/Bb Ab Bbm Ab Gb
But my voice is kinda squeaky and it’s weaker when it’s low
Gbmaj7 Gb Ab Bbm
So I guess I’m built for chipper songs and that won’t ever change
Gb Ab/Gb Bbm7 Ab/C Db
But there are nights that I go way too hard at kara-oke bars
Db Ebm/Db Ab
And wake up with a fleeting dream that seems within my grasp
Bbm Ab Gb Db
So I wrote this song and treated my voice terribly last evening
Ebm Db Ab7 Db
And recorded it this morning while I still could hear some rasp
[Chorus]
Db Ebm/Db Db/F Gb/Db Db/F
Cause there are songs That I can’t sing without some gravel happening
Ebm Absus4 Ab
A Stevie Nicks like voice might fix my situation
Db Ebm/Db Db/F Gb
Ungrumbled words can’t soothe a cowboy nor his herds
Gb Absus4 Db Dbsus4 Dbsus2 Db
But a husky voice can
[Verse 2]
Db Ebm Db/F Gb
I could sing about the future in a pessimistic way
Db/F Gb Absus4 Ab
But my tone would still convey a tinge of hope
Gb/Bb Ab Bbm Ab Gb
See the audience wants nuance that my voice just can’t impart
Gbmaj7 Gb Ab Bbm
Might become a firefighter just so I can breathe in smoke
Gb Ab/Gb Bbm7 Ab/C Db
Or I could pick up smoking cigarettes But I don’t think it suits me
Db Ebm/Db Ab
And the firefighter plan makes me seem selfless, strong, and hot
Bbm Ab Gb Db
And I bet the firefighter life would inspire some dope lyrics
Ebm Db Ab7 Db
Mostly about fighting fires But that’s better than what I’ve got
[Chorus]
Db Ebm/Db Db/F Gb/Db Db/F
Cause there are songs That I can’t sing without some gravel happening
Ebm Absus4 Ab
But I’ll aim higher now with my firefighting plan
Db Ebm/Db Db/F Gb
My tenor squeal can’t help a broken heart to heal
Gb Absus4 Db
But a husky voice can
[Bridge]
Gb Ab Bbm
And with a husky voice I think that I could write a song unfunny
Db Ab7 Db
And I’d sing it without thinking how it’s frightening as hell.
