lyrics

Why don’t you play it
on your acoustic guitar
Why don’t you play it
on your acoustic guitar

The cold rush of loneliness
the power of pure poetry
a girl I once knew now invisible
the cold rush of loneliness
and the power and the poverty of poetry
the woman I know now
me and her indivisible

Why don’t you play it
on your acoustic guitar
Why don’t you play it
on your acoustic guitar

It doesn’t matter who you are
you just got to play things as they are
why don’t you play it
on your acoustic guitar

Dark sunglasses not dark enough
I got riots in my head and all that stuff
vulnerability that’s more my scene
talking about thoughts of the heart
if you know what I mean

Why don’t you play it
on your acoustic guitar
Why don’t you play it
on your acoustic guitar

It doesn’t matter who you are
you just got to play things as they are
why don’t you play it
on your acoustic guitar

Anyone who’s ever been in love
knows about waiting
anyone who’s ever been in love
finds it frustrating
why don’t you play it
on your acoustic guitar

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
rock and roll
yeah yeah yeah yeah
rock and roll

Hedgehogs in the headlights
banners on the streetlights
la-la-la-la-la-la-lasting peace
is a permanent phase
the test explodes
if you’re combing your hair
and the room’s revolving
but you don’t know where

Why don’t you play it
on your acoustic guitar
Why don’t you play it
on your acoustic guitar

It doesn’t matter who you are
you just got to play it
on your acoustic guitar
your acoustic guitar...

It doesn’t matter who you are
just play it on your acoustic guitar
