"But Instead" - Original Ukulele Song by Anna

Watch it on YouTube
This is a quick little song I wrote one fine day when I should have been doing other things. The lyrics and chords are as follows.

 D  A  D  G  A  D

 I want to go outside but it's so freaking hot
I want to eat some lunch but the leftovers have gone to rot
I've got a script to memorize for a play that's pretty cool
I'm going on a trip and getting back the first day of school

 Chorus:
It's summertime I got things to do
But at the same time I don't want to
I should be doing something productive
but instead I'm doing this

I've got new shoes to break in but nowhere to go
The summertime should be fun but often isn't so
I've got service hours I need to complete
but making videos is also pretty neat

Chorus

I swapped clothes with my friends because I'm sick of mine
I'm trying to write a song and finding it difficult to rhyme
I've got summer homework to do but my arms are tired and sore
'cause I'm learning to juggle and keep dropping balls on the floor

Chorus
