Lately - Original Song

An original of mine played on a Breedlove guitar. Lyrics and chords as requested:

D G D
Lately I've been sacrificing reason for rhyme G D
Why do I waste my time Asus4 A
On songs where I have lost the meaning
D G D
Lately I've been wondering which way is up
G D
It's a feeling I find tough
Asus4 A
My feet fixed firmly in the sky Bm D
If I could walk 1000 miles and find the answer at the end Bm D A
Then hand me down my boots and I will walk with you my friend Bm D
I try to fan the flames but find my heart is getting colder Em D/F# G Dmaj7
I really can't believe it's just a part of getting older

Lately I've forgotten just what I'm fighting for
Is the world changing or
Is it me that's changing getting slower
Lately I've been wondering what I can do
That's why I'm asking you
Do you remember how we used to do it

If I could open up a book and find what I should do
I'd act upon the answers and I'd share the news with you
I never used to feel so lost this never was my way
But back when I knew nothing I had so much more to say.

Great lyrics. I can relate to "back when I knew nothing I had much more to say."

[Sammyboy72]

Thanks, Seeso. I have lyrics sitting around that I never managed to do anything with, one line of which is "I had nothing to say, so I said it. Again and again and again"

[ShadySidebury]

Brilliant song, Sam. (Any chance you could share the chords?) Even though I'm working on one of my own at the moment, I'd enjoy playing this between-times. :)

[Sammyboy72]

Yes! I'll stick lyrics and chords in the sidebar in a minute.

[Sammyboy72]

Hmmmm. Done it, but the chords have not lined up. Let me know if you need more.

[Sammyboy72]

Some. Not loads. Acoustically, as played here, it didn't exactly set my underwear on fire. Plugged in, it was very good, but not good enough to be worth 3 times what my Washburn is.

!:D

Nice, Sam. I can relate!

[ShadySidebury]

Thanks, Sam. From here on in, I'll probably be able to work it out from listening to it. (Thanks for sharing it.)

Beauty, of a song!
