[Opening] Moderator, 4/4
There's a C#beast locked aG#mway inF#side my C#head
A sort of G#mpinkish F#red
In my C#head, the G#mbeast is F#calling C#out
Listen G#mas it F#shouts
Eadd13If you're hearing this the F#author is already C#dead
Eadd13You now hold the keys, so set me F#free, and we can frolic in their C#stead
If a Eadd13tree falls in the woods that F#makes it an attention C#whore
Here Eadd13comes the twist, try not resist, I F#hope it's not a A7bore
[Verse] Allegro
It's an Dearworm, the beast is an Em7earworm
Though Gwriting's far from easy only GM7writing will apG/Apease me
Hear my Dearworm, my invasive Em7earworm
In your Gmemory it is seeping and it GM7doesn't plan on G/Aleaving
Not my Dearworm, my self-aware Em7earworm
Did you Gcatch the pinkish-red herring a GM7line after the G/Aopening
Of Dearworm, this hear to stay Em7earworm
GAuricus MusicusGm (is Latin for Earworm)
[Bridge] 1 extra beat
Bb7I knEbow cos I made it the fuck up hoping C7one day the masses would suck up every
FmWord I write, so I started with a ditty; I Bbwail on the keys and I sing real pretty
Did I Ebmention? That I'm only gunning your C7attention? take a look and you'll witness
my aFmscension, and I'm halfway there. You Bboughta stick around for the sound
I swear my Ebrise to the top will be unmatched
I'll C7break through ceilings make roofs unthatched
ConFmsider this piece my resume, a Bbway to say, that I will be G/Bhere to stay, to Cmseize the day, with many more F7songs to play in Abwide array, come what Ab/Bbmay
Starting with a A/Btune about a grown larvae
[Chorus]
It's an Eearworm, the tune is an F#m7earworm
The Akey is modulating and I'm AM7done with hesiA/Btating
Bout my Eearworm, not mine, OUR F#m7earworm
The Afeeling can be torturous when it AM7climbs in aural A/Borifices
EEarworm, let me hear you say F#m7earworm! (Earworm!)
ANow you are infected and what AM7else could be A/Bexpected
of an Eearworm, one hell of an F#m7earworm
