Four Chords and the Truth

I've seen the circus man

Entertains the best he can

But clowns are creepy

And a bit weird

I've seen the acrobats

Juggle fire and tame big cats

But that strikes me as a strange thing to want to be good at

I'd rather see a man in a bar

Playing songs that he wrote on a beat up old guitar

Don't care if sometimes he don't play it right

Four chords and the truth and I'll have a good night

I've seen the football games

To me they're all the same

One team wins, one loses

And next year they'll just play each other again and again and again

I've seen films at the cinema

Some good, some so bad I don't know what they are

I'll tell you one thing every time I went I was overcharged

I'd rather see a girl in a bar

Playing songs that she wrote on a beat up old guitar

Don't care if sometimes she don't play it right

Four chords and the truth, by me she's alright

She's alright, she's alright, alright

I've seen too much TV

Way more than what's good for me

I don't know why because all I ever see is

Repeats of Top Gear and Come Dine With Me

And after all the things I've seen

There's only one place I want to be

On stage with nothing but my guitar between you and me

I'd rather be that man in a bar

Playing songs that I wrote on my beat up old guitar

Hope you don't mind if sometimes I don't play it right

Four chords and the truth, shit I think I just played five

And that's alright, that's alright, that's alright
