I Don't Mind (original)

Here's a very personal song that I just wrote for my father, who has been living in a nursing home since his 50's due to a neck injury he suffered many years ago. I love him so much.

got a buzz today
from someone I know
offering me the way
a place to go
I said...no..no...no
I would love to though

and when they asked me why
my little heart was beaming
when I told them it was all because of you
so sure in my reply
I'm sure my face was gleaming
cause there's nothing else that I would rather do
than stay right here with you

well,
the tables are turned
and sometimes I feel burned
but I don't mind
the love that we share
nothing else can compare
so I don't mind
no I don't mind

I stand and face the odds
no matter how I feel
they feed me their facade
but I know what is real
while they steal..steal..steal
still the wounds won't heal

the more they scoff at me
the more I feel the power
and I tell them that it's all because of you
that's how it's gotta be
as minutes turn to hours
I'll use my every breath of mine to make them see
that they simply must agree

well,
the tables are turned
and sometimes I feel burned
but I don't mind
no I don't mind
the love that we share
nothing else can compare
so I don't mind
no I don't mind

No matter how rough the road may get
I love you..I really do
and you would do the same for me I bet
without asking you to.

well,
the tables are turned
and sometimes I feel burned
but I don't mind
no I don't mind
the love that we share
nothing else can compare
so I don't mind
no I don't mind

many still don't believe
and they try to deceive
but I don't mind
no I don't mind
cause we'll rise high above
using only our love
so I don't mind
no I don't mind

they will just tear us down
as we smile they will frown
but I don't mind
no I don't mind
when they still don't respond
we will travel beyond
so I don't mind
no I don't mind

Okay, first off this song is great. Lyrics and music just flow and such a great jumpy feel yet sweet. please please could you tell me the chords?

[Lauramariesongs]

Thanks! I am so glad you like it! :) As far as the chords...hmmm..I am so embarrassed to say that I only know the names of some. I am an improv artist who plays mostly by ear. But if somebody out there knows the chords to this song, please let us know! I am curious too! I do know there is G, E, F, B in the beginning...

Well done. Music to carry us now. . . And to comfort us into our beyond (& also THE beyond.)

Un poco triste la cancion. Ojala que tu papa este vivo. Stay at it, be persistent.

Te dedique una cancion de Pepe Aguilar, Me Estoy Acostumbrando a Ti.

omg :O

i never thought you were this good :O

your lyrics are always amazing and your voice too cause you make a very distinct melody :)

the only thing that i think you can try to improve is the guitar cause it always seem so sad

but, anyway, keep rockin
