Guys with guitars
At open mic bars
Are so much better than guys with skateboards
So much better than guys with books

Guys with guitars sing over and over
The same things that keep me awake at night
Guys with guitars
They listen to my songs

Sing a song for me, don't be horrible
I'll sing a song for you if you don't think it's terrible
Let's go home, we don't understand
What tomorrow's about anyway

Write me a song
And I'll sing along
You won't marry me, I won't marry you
But at least, tonight, we can pretend we'll do

And then we will write a song
People will sing along
How he wouldn't marry her, she wouldn't marry him
And the next day she'll fall in love with another

Guy with a guitar
At an open mic bar
With a bursting heart just like her
And a hungry soul always searching for more
Guys with guitars
Sing over and over
The same line that I don't understand
And together we don't understand it
Together we don't understand it better

Sing a song for me, don't be horrible
I'll sing a song for you if you won't think it's terrible
Let's go home, we don't understand
What tomorrow's about anyway

Write me a song
And I'll sing along
You won't marry me, I won't marry you
But at least, tonight, we can pretend we'll do

And then we will write a song
People will sing along
How he wouldn't marry her, she wouldn't marry him
And the next day she'll fall in love with another guy...

'Cause she's in love with life
And another guy...

'Cause she's in love with life
And another
Guy with a guitar
At an open mic bar
With a bursting heart, just like her
And a hungry soul always searching for more
