Intro: [G Gm/E]
Verse 1: [G Gm/E] On the fence and feeling so confused
[Bm E7sus4 E7] Hesitation. Old maps are of no use
[Am7 Ebdim7] Night-time slowly crashing down on me
[Am7 Ebdim7] Confirmation. I need some confirmation
Chorus: [Em C] I’ll act as if I really have a clue
[A2/E Am] I have to leave and then I must keep going
[D] I’ll act as if I know, I’ll act as if I know
Verse 2: You stand in my way and block my road
While you say I am being very lazy
You know well how to increase my load
Your pressure drives me kind of crazy
Chorus
Bridge: [C Em] Do you really know? Do you really know?
Verse 3: Thank you for your time and your advice
That I’ll reject after some proper thinking
You’ve taught me more than you will realise
Now I will have to let the rest sink in
Chorus
Outro: [G]

Not over - v1
03:21

Verse 1:
[Am Dm Am; Dm G E7 Am; Dm G F E7 Am; Fmaj G E7]
You hear a door open and notice the shiver
The fear of them coming that rattles so close
Surprising, the cracks in the wall make your confidence vanish
The smells let you know it's still here and you're still in it
Chorus:
[Am C E7 Am; Am C E7 F G; Am]
It's not over, if the wind blows through your/my/our mind[s]
It's not over, if you/I/we still have some time
Not over
Verse 2:
I hear a door closing, I'm flooded by panic
The fear of you going while I'm left alone
I seem to have tried everything except that which will grab you
I'm cornered and stranded and gone in a minute
Chorus
Bridge:
[Dm Fmaj E7; F G E7]
Soften the clay, ashtray to vase for these flowers
Maybe allow what you feel
Effectively Make Discoveries Real
Instrumental with Verse
Verse 3:
A memory shifting, it crackles like silk
The river that flows, the joy when I'm still
Surprising, the cracks on the wall let the light shine within it
Whatever it takes, we have it, and we'll win it
Chorus

I see you give up - v1
02:37
|
|||
Verse 1:
[D Bm D E7 x2; G F#7 G A - or suchlike]
We can't get out - of our bubble
Heal from the scars - from the trouble
The moment I see you give up - I remember the times
When you said I should join the club - and I should learn the signs
Verse 2:
We don't see how to get better
Find out the clues - read the letters
The moment I see you give up - I remember the place
Where I saw the crowd, heard the noise - I remember your face
Verse 3:
Life turns around in a moment
Promises gone - disagreement
Imagine the number of friends that will go to your funeral
Remembering how it all ends in the pain of disaster
Verse 4:
We fortify with the struggle
See what was wrong - make it double
The moment I see you give up - I remember your face
...

Song from title - v2
02:38
|
|||
Verse 1:
Some songs can't really start without a title
Some titles come alive when there's a song
I had to get it wrong
And miss it for so long
And now this song begins
Verse 2:
Your life was not a song: it was a jungle
A single messy road without a sign
You had to draw a line
Dig deep and start to find
And now your song begins
Chorus:
Some things take time
And broken rhymes
(You keep the pieces)
You only understand
Once you are on dry land
And see what this is
Verse 3:
Sometimes we start with clay and no idea
We pound and hit and squeeze in deep despair
We look at what is there
We can't afford to care
And then some song begins

I started playing guitar at maybe 14 years old. I liked some of my own mistakes and called them songs. I've been fooling around with tech for too long. It's time to #JustSitAndPlay and do #Sillyrics.
