F Am Dm Dm  Bb C F F


[Verse 1]

F                Am               Dm          
This is what the Lord wants me to do
      Bb            C                       F         
In my heart, I just believe that there's no proof
  Bb              C           F        Dm
I think about the chorus, the melody's important
    Bb             C                F          
But nothing sounds sweeter than the truth
  F               Am                  Dm       
I used to sip the whiskey and hit the bong
  Bb                C                  F       
I gave that up, now all my friends are gone
       Bb               C       F              Dm
And my folks don't understand I ain't no macho man
    Bb            C                   F           
But I know how to write one hell of a song


[Chorus]

       Am    Dm           Am           Bb          F  
Yeah, I'm a  -  shy young man with a  -  real big heart
Dm              Am            Bb        F  
I still haven't found where I belong
    Am        Dm          Am            Bb          F
But you know  -  my sweet Lord gave me  -  just one thing
         Bb            C                   Dm      
Darling, I know how to write one hell of a song
      Bb            C                   F
Yeah, I know how to write one hell of a song

 
[Verse 2]

F             Am                  Dm 
Wrote one for Snoop, did not take long
Bb            C                  F
Wrote one for Bieber and one for Sean
          Bb           C
And Jay Z offered me a deal
       F                       Dm
I said "Dawg, throw in another mil" 
      Bb             C                   F
Cause you know I can write one hell of a song


[Chorus]

       Am   Dm           Am           Bb          F  
Yeah, I'm a  -  shy young man with a  -  real big heart
Dm              Am            Bb        F  
I still haven't found where I belong
    Am        Dm          Am            Bb          F
But you know  -  my sweet Lord gave me  -  just one thing
         Bb            C                   Dm      
Darling, I know how to write one hell of a song
      Bb            C                   F
Yeah, I know how to write one hell of a song

Sometimes I stay up well past dawn

I'm a simple type of artist, I don't like to walk red carpets
Bb *           C *                 Dm *
I would rather write one hell of a song
      Bb *             C *                  F *
Yeah, I wrote this and it's one hell of a song
