Letra de
4 Chords

A música Four Chords da banda The Axis of Awesome brinca com a ideia de que muitas músicas populares usam a mesma progressão básica de quatro acordes. A música satiriza como esses acordes, ou variações muito similares, formam a base de várias canções de sucesso através das décadas.

My life is brilliant, my love is pure.
I saw an angel, of this I'm sure.
Forever young, I wanna
be forever young.
I won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait, I'm yours.
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending,
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy ending.
Cause you are amazing,
We did amazing, things.
If I could, then I would,
I'll go wherever you will, (go)
Can you feel, the love tonight?
And she will, be loved,
Yeah she will, be loved.
Pictures of you, pictures of me,
up upon your wall for the world to see.
'cause I cant live, with or without you.
And if I fall, at your feet.
You'll let your tears, am I not pretty enough,
is my heart too broken.

When I find myself in times of trouble,
Mother mary, comes to me.
Sometimes I feel like I dont have a partner.
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin',
We'll be ridin' on the horses, yeah yeah.
No woman, no cry,
It surely is a dream,
I come from the land down under.
Once a jolly swagman, camped by a billabong.
Take on me,(When I come around)
Take Me On,(When I come around)
I'll be gone
In a day or, two.
Save tonight, (Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you.)
Fight the break of dawn.
Come tommorow, (There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.)
tommorow I'll be gone.

I know she's playin with me,
But thats okay 'cause I've got no self-esteem.
With a thousand eyes and a good disguise,
hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes.
'Cause I'm not here for your entertainment,
you don't really wanna mess with me tonight.
Cant read my, cant read my, no he can't read my,
poker face, come on Barbie lets go party.
Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me.
She wants to touch me (woo-hoo),
She wants to love me (woo-hoo),
She'll never leave me (woo-hoo-oh-oh-oh).
Control yourself, take only what you need from it.
Take your canvas bags, take your canvas bags,
Take your canvas bags, to the supermarket.
Take your canvas bags.

Nothings right I'm torn,
I'm all out of faith,
this is how I feel,
I'm cold and I am shamed,
lying naked on the floor.
Illusion never changed,
into something real,
I'm wide awake and I can see I'm more than a bird,
I'm more than a plane,
I'm a bird-plane,
I'm a bird-plane,
A mother fucking bird-plane.
Doesn't that sound familiar,
doesn't that sound too close to home
doesn't that make you shiver,
the way things could have gone.
And doesn't that seem peculiar,
'cause everyone wants a little more,
there's something I do remember,
to never go this far,
thats all it takes to be a star.
