Am G Em F G
[1st Verse]
Am G
Dig if you will these page comps
Em F G
Of a site as amazing as this.
Am G
It’s got the stuff that we need and want.
Em
Can you Web Dev,
F G
Can you picture this?
Am G
Dream if you can a website
Em F G
Responsive to all of your screens.
Am G
I’ve tested usability all week,
Em
We see the heat,
F G
The heatmaps of their gaze.
[Chorus]
Am G
How can we build out this website?
Em F G
Stuck with this tech that's so old? (So old)
Am G
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Em F G
Maybe I'm just like the <strong> tag: too bold
Am G
Maybe you're just like my manager
Em F G
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Am G
Why do we scream at each other?
Em
This is what it sounds like
F G
When devs cry.
[Break]
Am G Em F G
[Verse 2]
Am G
Touch if you will this ECMAscript:
Em F G
See how I patched it inside?
Am G
We can inject Web Components
Em
Let’s use Webpack,
F G
Even devs have pride.
[Chorus]
Am G
How can we build out this website?
Em F G
Stuck with this tech that's so old? (So old)
Am G
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Em F G
Maybe I'm just like the <strong> tag: too bold
Am G
Maybe you're just like my manager
Em F G
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Am G
Why do we scream at each other?
Em
This is what it sounds like
F G
When devs cry.
Am G Em F G
[Outro]
Em
This is what it sounds like
F G
When devs cry
