Lyrics
Well I know this guy
Well his job is just to bring me down and I don't know why
A face creased with a permanent frown and although he's shy
He'll chastise me for being a clown and it kills my vibe
He leans over and whispers out loud
He says ooh ah you and guitar man
You're far too old and ugly and you won't get far
He says ooh ah you and guitar man
You're far too old and ugly and you won't get far
Ooh ah save your heart
Cos nobody will love you so just don't even start
He says ooh ah you and guitar man
You're far too old and ugly
There he is in the mirror
You know him by the awkward look on his face, he's a winner
Of absolutely nothing by a plaque for last place, a survivor
If surviving means sitting all alone in the dark, and his time yeah
His time is spent trying to tell me I'm a minnow not a shark
He says ooh ah you and guitar man
You're far too old and ugly and you won't get far
He says ooh ah you and guitar man
You're far too old and ugly and you won't get far
He says ooh ah save your heart
Cos nobody will love you so just don't even start
He says ooh ah you and guitar man
You're far too old and ugly
I've tried to escape him
Packed bags and I'll flee
No matter how far I run he's there
Cos he's a part of me
Now it makes me wonder
Cos the lightning inside his words just makes me thunder
And the negativity that I swerved never pulled me under
Accepting it sometimes hurts just makes me stronger
And I drown him out in this verse by singing
Ooh ah you and guitar man
It doesn't even matter if it comes from the heart
I said ooh ah you and guitar
Just shoot it for the moon and let it land among the stars
I said ooh ah you and guitar
It's just a couple of chords and some truthful bars
I said ooh ah you and guitar man
You'll know when the song is over
When you've travelled far
