a rough draft of song about a cute boy and a dumb crush
<3
this song is kind of ridiculous bc i wrote it about 2 months ago, and then within about a week realized “this is stupid!” and just. told the boy how i felt.
but i decided to write chords and finish it anyways!
lyrics and chords:
C // Am, F, G7 (repeat)
Da da da, da da da dana dana
You’ve got that one-two hit to you
Everybody laughing, but I
Swear you must see right through me
Every time I smile at you
Everybody sees it, don’t you
Know your smile won’t let me be
(F, Am, F, G7, F, Am, G)
If you just let me catch my breath
I just might get over you
But you won’t give the chance
Cause you keep me laughing like
C // Am, F, G7
Oh funny boy,
Don’t you let somebody steal your shine
Don’t you close your eyes, I swear you’ll see
Oh funny boy,
I can’t get my eyes off of you
And you can’t seem to get your eyes to me
(F, Am, G, C // Am, F, G7)
But hey,
If I forget the words I’ll just sing
Da da da, da da da dana dana da da da
C // Am, F, G7 (repeat)
I get so shy around you,
Every bit of my attention drawn
Right to your space in the room
I lose my head round you,
Don’t know what I’m saying
Too much I might say to you
(F, Am, F, G7, F, Am, G)
If you let me catch my breath
I just might get over you
But you won’t give me the chance
Cause you keep me laughing like
C // Am, F, G7
Oh funny boy,
Don’t you let somebody steal your shine
Don’t you close your eyes, I swear you’ll see
Oh funny boy,
I can’t get my eyes off of you
And you can’t seem to get your eyes to me
(F, Am, G, C // Am, F, G7)
But hey,
If I forget the words I’ll just sing
Da da da, da da da dana dana da da da
Da da da, da da da dana dana da da da
(F, Am, F, G7, F, Am, G)
If you let me catch my breath I just might get over you,
So boy, don’t give me the chance
(F, Am, G (let ring))
If you’d just give me a chance
I could keep you laughing like
C // Am, F, G7
Oh funny boy,
Won’t let nobody steal your shine
Don’t you close your eyes, I swear you’ll see
My funny boy,
I won’t take my eyes off of you
If you promise not to take yours off of me
And hey,
If we forget the words,
We’ll sing along like
Da da da, da da da dana dana da da da
Da da da, da da da dana dana da da da
(End on long C)
Oh, funny boy

So this isn't exactly new, but about a month ago I wrote Kay a song, and I never posted it here. So! Happy Valentines Day, wife!
Lyrics and chords:
(Am) Well it was a cold new years eve when I
(F) took the time to look over what has past
(C)
(Am) A year ago tonight when I
(F) Was afraid of what I’d find on my path
(Am) I said I don’t know what to do and you said
(F) Only follow through on what you meant
(C)
(Am)So I took off on a plane, if not for you
(F) I don’t know if I’d have looked back
(Am)So open your arms,
(F)Take me in
(Em)You are my shelter from (F) the wind
(Am) And I will give you (F)anything that I can give (G7)
As I live
(C)
A hundred fifty days this year
We never stood beneath the same sun
And as the hours stretched I found
There are some things that I cannot outrun
Summer heat grew thicker, every
Joyful moment seemed to taste so wrong
Though it didn’t look what I expected,
I came to see some things I had known all along
So open your arms,
Take me in
You are my shelter from the wind
And I will give you anything that I can give
As I live
(Em)And if my home is where (Am) I can feel
(F) Complete in my own (G7) skin
(Dm7) Then you are where my home is
(C) (Am) (F) (Em) (Am) (F) (G7) (C)
It’s said what you do at new years
Will be what you do throughout the whole year too
I don’t know if I believe that
But just in case, I was standing next to you
So open your arms,
Take me in
You are my shelter from the wind
And I will give you everything that I can give
As I live
