LYRICS

People often ask where they can find lyrics, so I compiled 10+ years worth of songs into one location! I even included some of the tunes I consider to be hot garbage clunkers, just for the fun of documenting the journey. If you'd like to support my songwriting, please download my music on iTunes, add songs to your Spotify Playlists, subscribe to my Youtube channel, and/or purchase physical copies of CDs wherever possible. These contributions help me sustain my career as an independent artist.

Don't Want

Verse: E G#m F#m B
Chorus: E G#m A B // Cm B A Am

​
i don’t want to pay a publicist to like me
i don’t want to ask a journalist to write nice things about me
i don’t want to beg my friends to come to my next show
i don’t want to paste my stupid face on stupid clothes
 
i just want to write a song that saves the world or pays my rent
when chasing your dreams turns to chasing your tail
you start asking yourself where the hell all the time went

 
i don’t want to shake a hand and fake my admiration
i don’t want to stoke or fan the flames of my frustration
i don’t want to envy when my friends enjoy successes
or provide for free bits of me just to see who it impresses
 
i don’t want to be negative i’ll quit my bellyaching
i don’t want to second guess my purpose or decision making
i don’t want the past or future to chase me up a tree
if i stay here in this moment, maybe my dreams might chase me

Big Magic (How to Be a Winner When You Lose)

12/29/2016

0 Comments

 
*some lines from this song are pulled from Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic as reference/wink to the book. How to Be a Winner When You Lose was a song prompt from Eagles Songwriter Jack Tempchin

​Verse: D C Bm A
Chorus: D A G A // G A D C Bm G A
 
it's not like i was asking loss to be my best friend
but she stuck around when the chips were down
i've always found her at the bitter end
it's not like i've forgotten where the doors are or how to knock them
i quite like the sound of the pavement pounding
underneath the steps of my ambition
 
i wanted big magic
the kind of life that shoots across the sky
lighting up the dark
i've got this book of matches
wet with regret, splintered with time
and I can't find the spark
seems like big magic's only big hat trick
is to go when she knows you blew a fuse
she'll leave you sitting in the dim
learning how to be a winner when you lose

 
it's not like I'm complaining about the waxing and the waning
i prefer the rise and fall of a curve ball
i'm always honored by her visitation
it's not like i am choiceless or powerless or voiceless
but i feel so weak, it gets hard to speak
in the ruthless furnace of expectation

I've Got A Friend

​i've got a friend who thinks she's jesus
but only when she's starting to climb
if you take away the storm she's braving
i think she does enough saving on her own time
she don't need the divine
 
i've got a friend simply known as V to us
she gives music away for the joy that it brings
she lives beautiful verse after verse
and sometimes that chorus can hurt
but she's gonna play anyway
she's gonna sing
 
she's got a friend who'll stand in her corner
round after round swing after swing
i've seen some scary shit
but i'm not afraid of it
cause she gave that gift to me
 
i'm in a band with my friend veronica
sometimes she's in command
sometimes i tow the line
so V i'm gonna wait for you
in every single waiting room
i don't care how many times
cause time always takes time
 
i've got a friend
and she's got me

New Day

around five in the morning the mist masked the moon
just a few more hours, we'll be in oregon soon
we drove through the night, laughing all the way
while the skyscraper trees held the sun at bay
 
here comes the new day
here comes the sunrise
our cheeks hurt from smiling
good tears fill our eyes
here comes the new day
here comes the sunrise
the road is so familiar
but it feels like a surprise
welcome the new day
here comes the new day

 
around seven in the morning the light swallowed up the dark
it won't be long now til we put this car in park
the pastels of the morning allow the night to just let go
honoring past tales without mourning
they only want to say hello

Get Me Through This

Capo 1 shapes:
Verse:
E A

Chorus: E A // G D G D G D B7

go ahead and tell me all my flaws
i know what you are gonna say
keep beating my head into the walls
letting my pride get in the way
go ahead and tell me act my age
it's something that i'm used to
but being young and being brave-
the only things that get me through...

this life, this day, this hour, this minute
i'm so sick of my life and everything in it
i'm holding my breath, i'm making a wish
trying to find why i exist
i'm stomping my feet, i'm clenching my fists
trying to get me through this


go ahead and tell me let it go
you must think i'm so stupid
a planted seed takes time to grow
i won't give up my dreams like you did
go ahead get up and walk away
i'm fine on my own, i don't need you
but you'll regret every single day
you weren't there to get me through...

this life, this wall, this mountain i'm climbing
if i'm not busy being born, i'm busy dying
say what you're gonna say about me
i'll make my way eventually
i'll be standing at the top blowing you a kiss
knowing i got me through this
