Description: I posted this song before and someone suggested they would like to hear it. I can't exactly sing it to people through the computer so I though t I'd do the next best thing. Here is the song with the guitar chords for those of you who can play. It's pretty much cut and dry. The chords are inserted into the lines in (parenthesis) ..ie (G)blah blah blah( C) etc..etc. This song is played at a pretty slow pace but you double up on the strumming during the chorus making it seem faster. I hope I covered everything. Enjoy
we used to be in love (chord) -------------------------------------------
(no chord) She rolls over in (G) bed
(.C) faces the wall as she (G) sleeps
(.C) I get up as quiet as I (G) can
(D) and pretend I'm thirsty
(no chord)
and in the morning there's a (G)note on the table
(.C) "I'll be home (G) late
(.C)T.V. dinner's in the (G) freezer" it read
(D) "if you don't want to wait---------"(hold chord)
(no chord) and all the while I'm thinking
(chorus)
(G)I can't take this po(.C)lite and quiet world
(G)I can't stand here (.C)always being kind
(G)why can't we just sit and talk for
(.C)an hour or two or more
(G)say what's really on our mi(D)nds(hold chord)
(G)and then maybe we could (.C)find
(G)a little bit of that something(D).......(G)good
(guitar break approx 18 counts)
(no chord)"Hi honey how was your (G)day?"
(.C)I'd tell her but she's not listening (G)anyway
(.C)"Turn off the T.V. (G) before you come to bed."
she says
(D)as she climbs the stairs alone(hold chord)
(no chord)and all the while I'm thinking
(chorus)
(G)and then maybe we could (.C)find
(G)a little bit of that something(D).......(G)better
(guitar outro- no set limit- just have fun with the chord progression)
well, i have absolutely no idea how that music is supposed to sound Imagining my own music to it it sounds good! However, I really liked the lyrics. The little details make the emptiness really obvious; it makes you want to scream "connect!" I loved how you addressed the tiny things that people do the pull them further and further apart, when they're really trying to be together.
I liked having the chord put in. It enabled me to be able to sing through the lyrics rather than to just lok at them...of course there's still tempo and the harmony can go in different ways but it does give me a better idea of phrasing. I assumed that the non chorded areas have a melody but I guess they could be song spoke too. I like the concept. jan
