Wordplay

[G] [Cadd9] [Dadd9] (x2)

I've been [Em7]all around the world

I've been a [G]new sensation

But it [Am7]doesn't really matter in this ge-generation

[Em7]The sophomore slump is an [G]uphill battle

And [Am7]someone said that ain't my scene

'Cause they need a [Em7]new song

Like a new religion, [G]music for the television

[Am7]I can't do the long division, someone do the math

B’for the [Em7]record label puts me

On the [G]shelf up in the freezer

[Am7]Got to find another way to live the life of leisure

 

[G]Mix and I mingle

[C]Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...

 

[G] [Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La Now listen closely to the

verse I lay

[G] [Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La It's all about the wordplay

[G] [Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La Love

 

[Em7]Because I am the wizard of [D/F#]ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's

Yeah the [G]Mister A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay

 

And it's time to get [Em7]ill I got your remedy

For [G]those who don't remember me

Well [Am7]let me

introduce you to my style

I [Em7]try to keep a jumble

In the [G]lyrics never mumble

When the [Am7]music's makin' people tongue-tied

You want a [Em7]new song, like a new religion

[G]Music for the television

I [Am7]can't do the long division, someone do the math

For the [Em7]people write me off

Like I'm a [G]one-hit wonder

[Am7]Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under

 

[G]Got your attention

I [C]guess it's time again for me to mention the wordplay

 

[G] [Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La Now listen closely to the

verse I lay

[G] [Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La It's all about the wordplay

[G] [Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La Love

 

[Em7]Because I am the wizard of [D/F#]ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's

Yeah the [G]Mister A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay

 

I built a [F#m7-5]bridge across the stream my consciousness

It always seems to be a [B]flowin’, but

 

Oh the [Em]ryhmin' and the timin’, Keeps the [D5]melodies inside me

And they're [C5]comin’ till I'm running out of air [C5] [C5/B] [C5] [D5]

 

Are you [F#m7-5]prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head

[B]Are you listening to a single word I've said

 

[G] [Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La Now listen closely to the

verse I lay

[G] [Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La It's all about the wordplay

[G] [Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La Love

 

[Em7]Because I am the wizard of [D/F#]ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's

Yeah the [G]Mister A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay
