I will turn this into a song…as it is

I know you
I’ve been there too
Split in two
I know you
Love goes on it never ends
She’s in your blood
He’s in mine
We’re the one that got away
Life got in their way
I’ll never make you say goodbye
Not today and not tomorrow
I’ll never try and claim it
Take the years that weren’t ours
Touch the tears that I don’t own
Steal the crown you gave her
Hand me you
Jewels at midnight
I’ll be gentle
If you let me love you
Cause I just wanna love you
Even if you’re broken
Even if you’re broke
Even if there’s nothing left
I’ll take your nothing
Like it’s everything
Trade my heart
Kiss your mouth
Pry you open
Your heart, your mind
Fuck you blind
Speak the truth
Into the night that’s left behind
We can start again
I’ll love you all
Every part good n bad
All that’s left of you
Smile when you feel blue
Take what’s left of you
Give it to me
Give me your heart
Even if it’s broken
I’ll be your number two
I’ll understand
I’ll be there
When you need
When you don’t
Just give me your heart
Fuck the night light
Who needs the daylight
I’ll show you
So give me your heart

Cool melody/lyrics came from nowhere this morning on my way to train station.   Upbeat/happy/sad track. Must try remember, which won’t be difficult seeing as I can’t get it outta my head 🙂

Decided to leave lyrics as a repetitive ‘ballad’.  I can add colour with the music 🎶

Capo – 1st fret

Chords:  Amin, G

(sometimes a C in there too)

Given this one is very simple, i’ll Need to do a variation, like up the pitch for final bit

(First Draft)

I should have listened from the start when you told me

Instead I let you hold me then go cold on me

I should have listened from the start when you told me to go

Instead I let you hold me then go cold on me

I should have listened from the start

I should have know that you were gonna break my heart

Did you know it all along that you were gonna string me along

Did you plan it from day one that you were gonna string me along

Did you know that i’d be writing this song?

I should have listened from the start when you told me

Instead I let you hold me then go cold on me

Was it your plan all along to string me along

Did you know it from day one that i’d be writing this song?

I should have listened from the start when you told me

Instead I let you hold me then go cold on me

I should have listened from the start

I should have known that you were gonna break my heart

Did you know it from day one that you were gonna string me along

I should have listened from the start when you told me

Instead I let you hold me then go cold on me

I should have know it from the start that you were gonna break my heart

Was it your plan all along to string me along

Knowing one day I’d be writing our song

I should have listened from the start when you told me to go

Instead I let you hold me then go cold on me

I should have listen from the start

I should have known that you were gonna break my heart

Yeah I should have known it from the start that you were gonna

You were gonna break my heart

I should have known it from the start that you were gonna break my heart

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As I drifted off last night.

I’ll no doubt turn this into a song…

5/10/17  I was originally playing this with open chords, Capo 2nd fret.  Similar chords, as usual…and so last night I moved Capo to 9th fret and the pattern is more like what I want for this song.  I love that sweet melody up the neck.  This means I have to sing it a bit ‘lower’ (which is nice with the higher finger picking pattern) but I think I could alter the vocals a little to add some harmonic color.  And so…..

9/10/17

I’m really loving this song.  Makes me realize how far I’ve come on my songwriting journey

I think I need a ‘bridge’ between Verse & Choruses

 

(Latest)  🙂 

Lyrics still need work – this is my first draft

 

 

 

 

 

New song.  I can hear a melody for chorus  🙂

Need to try to rap this, if I ever learn how.  Or turn it into 4 verses and sing it presto!

14/5/17 Working on the chords now, and given it’s essence, I have decided to place this song in the ‘Little Blue Dot’ album… 🙂

Capo 2nd fret ?? >> just ideas atm.  I need a guitarist to help cause my playing isn’t good enough.

Chords (palm mute)

I CAN DIVE INTO YOU

V1

It’s been a long long time

So excuse me if I got messy on your territory

But I had to see your smile, your sweet face for a while

I needed your voice to remind me

(To tell me what to do………)

And as you pushed me away

I touched the little black hearts on your white white shirt

And I know it was wrong that I touched your skin

(And is that such a sin)

Since you’ve been turning me on for so long?

V2

You told me to go n sit at the other bar

To get outta your space n stop sending you my energy

But it’s impossible to hide cause it comes from the inside

Electric blue you remind me

(Of what keeps us alive………)

But i’m ushered to the side

So I push a little more as you push me out the door

And as i’m walking away I smile to disguise the water in my eyes

But you’re not looking anyway….

(And then I realise)

Chorus

You’re Scorpio like DiCaprio

So I can dive into you

Cause you’re deep & you’re steep

And you’ve given me a peep

Now you’re gonna reap it s-w-e-e-t

We’ll never fail only sail

(o-h-h-h-h-h)

You’re Scorpio like DiCaprio

So I can dive into you

Cause you’re deep & you’re steep

And you’ve given me a treat

You always sweep me off me f-e-e-t

We’ll never fail never bail (o-h-h-h-h)

V3

Hopped the wrong train home

On my way to Freo in a carriage all alone

Had to straighten up as the clock struck eleven

Proceeded the right way

(Back on track to do it all again…..)

Nearly gotta fine

And when they asked for my ticket n asked for my ID

I cried “I got a broken heart n can’t remember my name”

Nothing new yeah they’ve heard it all before

(And then it hit me)

Chorus

You’re Scorpio like DiCaprio

So I can dive into you

Cause you’re deep & you’re steep

And you’ve given me a peep

Now you’re gonna reap it s-w-e-e-t

We’ll never fail only sail

(o-h-h-h-h-h)

You’re Scorpio like DiCaprio

So I can dive into you

Cause you’re deep & you’re steep

And you’ve given me a treat

You always sweep me off me f-e-e-t

We’ll never fail never bail (o-h-h-h-h)

V4

Lost in the city with one hour till departure

I met a homeless old man who kinda looked gin

Like he’s walked a thousand miles trying to kill the fever

So I gave him my last ciggy n paid for his supper

(While he told me his story….)

I told him mine too n said I’d buy him a house

When I make it up the ladder with a one hit wonder

So I sang it to him blue n gave a slice of our song

And from outta the trash can….

…………………………………………………………………………..

In his sad eyes I saw a flash of hope

A broken smile that took me by surprise

And it kinda got me thinking at least we gotta a song

And even if i’m wrong, at least we’ve got that

A flash of hope burning out bright…

Against the blue, blue lights in the city tonight

(As midnight strikes….)

Chorus 1 & 2

You’re Scorpio like DiCaprio

So I can dive into you

Cause you’re deep & you’re steep

And you’ve given me a peep

Now you’re gonna reap it s-w-e-e-t

We’ll never fail only sail

(o-h-h-h-h-h)

Yeah you’re Scorpio like DiCaprio

So I can dive into you

Cause you’re deep & you’re steep

And you’ve given me a treat

You always sweep me off me f-e-e-t

We’ll never fail never bail

(o-h-h-h-h)

New song – I have a melodic idea in my mind 🙂  Just working on lyrics

Long catchy chorus.  Hmmm, or maybe just another long song ->> will put into structure once I know how it’s going to be

** I  was going to do this on electric, but I like it on acoustic – it’s got a ‘trash can’ kind of sound because of the chords – just need some snare drums

Verse 1

I’ve got a funny feeling he’s looking at me

While you’re probably looking at her

And I can’t help wonder does she ever catch your stare

And try to hold you there

That place I long to be, lost in you

And it’s kinda got me thinking that life’s unfair

Oh I gave you my heart,

I gave it to you bare, got trapped in your snare

(Tell me did you toss it in the trash can?)

Pre-chorus

Now I see it crystal clear

That maybe you never did care

Chorus

So tell me, tell me, tell me…

Did I get it all wrong?

And did I write the wrong song?

And is there something you forgot to say?

Like ‘I wish you’d go away’?

Oh baby give it to me soon & give it to me straight

Pretty please…

Stop right there before tomorrow comes

Please stop dragging my heart around

(So I can dig it out the trash can)

Verse 2

I’m still the one who wants to be with you

While you probably want to be with her

And I can’t help wonder if she’s ever held your hand at the fun fair

And touched the sun in your hair

That place I long to be, caught up in you

And it’s kinda got me sinking down into your lair

Oh I gave you our song,

I gave you my air, tried to write it like a prayer

(Tell me did you toss it in the trash can?)

Pre-chorus

Chorus

Bridge??
