"This is all just in your head

Go write a song instead (This is your)

This is your real job"

G# C+ Fm C+
I was never meant to have a real job
G# C# D#
This passion's burned inside since I was twelve
Fm A#
Now I may not be the best
A#m C#
But I know that I can rest
G# C# Ddim G#
Knowing today that I don't ever need a real job
