Nothing to say-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay,
C
Ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay,
Em D
Ay-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay-ayyy

Ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay,

[Verse 1]
Am C
Let's... talk... about writers block
Em D
Cause when it comes to conversations all I wanna do is talk
Am C
But the moment I sit down with pen or keyboard in my hands
Em D
Words evade my thoughts with prejudice I'm sure you understand?
Am
Well you shouldn't! And well, neither should I!
C
Cause I've got a whole lot I wanna say before the day I die
Em
In a world full of beauty, love, brokenness and zeal
D
Why can't I seem to lyrically express all I see and feel?
Am C
Out there, wars wage, hearts change, storms rage
Em
Meanwhile in my head I'm still trapped in a cage
D
Where a schism in my lyricism between perfectionism and my creative vision dictates what I say
Am C
Now I watch the blinking cursor and feel uneasy
Em
I know it revels in this song's hypocrisy
D
Cause apparently, I care more about sounding good than sharing meaning
D
Oh-oh
[Chorus]
G C
I don't have much time
Em
It's worth more every day
Em Bm
And here I am stuck
D
With nothing to say
G C
Im wrapped in arms of love
Em
But I'm no stranger to pain
Em Bm
Yet here I am stuck
D
With nothing to-
[Hook]
G
-say-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay,
C
Ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay,
Em D
Ay-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay-ayyy
G
Nothing to say-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay,
C
Ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay,
Em D
Ay-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay-ayyy
[Verse 2]
Am C
I'm kinda confused, with what I'm trying to do
Em D
How to follow through writing this song for you
Am C
Got a million ideas makin' their way through my brain
Em D
But I can't find a way to put them onto my page
Am
Climbing a mental ladder into my head's attic
C
Tryin' to find words that sound good; but not sporadic
Em
Wanna say something meaningful while I'm at it
D
Writing a song about writing songs is problematic
Am
What am I even trying to say?
C
Why do I even write these songs anyway?
Em
What's the point of all this? What's the point of life?
D
Pursuing truth 's how I want my lyrics defined.
Am
But right now, I don't know if doing that well
C
What if I'm just writing music to sell
Em D
I don't want this to be about money or fame
I pray I'm doing this for more than just my name.
D
Oh-oh
[Chorus]
G C
I don't have much time
Em
It's worth more every day
Em Bm
And here I am stuck
D
With nothing to say
G C
Im wrapped in arms of love
Em
But I'm no stranger to pain
Em Bm
Yet here I am stuck
D
With nothing to-

Ay-ay-ay, ee-ay-ay,
Em D
Ay-ay-ay, ay-ee-ay-ay-ayyy
[Bridge]
G
Everyday kids take their lives cause they feel alone
C
Everyday someone gives up cause they're losing hope
Em
And a grieving child wishes they'd picked up the phone
D
Everyday finds another lost soul missing home
G
But everyday also sees a bright sun rise ahead
D
Everyday children laugh; joyful tears are shed
Em
Everyday sees a lonely soul make a new friend
D
Everyday the Son reclaims lost souls from death
G
This life is wrought with danger but filled with light
C
Even amidst pain, hope brings us out of the night
Em
Faith leads the way, and restores our sight
D
And at the end of it all love leads the fight
G
If even one word of my song can warm a heart
C
If my voice can draw light from the dark
Em
Then I wanna sing until my breath gives way
D
Until I've got something worthwhile to-
[Hook]

But I'm no stranger to pain
Em Bm
Yet here I am stuck
