She’s not you

Style: Rock/Country

She’s not what I wanted,
Just the one that still wants me
The moments spent together
seem to be missing something

But, she takes me up
And let’s me fall awhile
And from the ground she’s there
Looking up to smile

Chorus
But, I can’t take the middle ground
I want shallow, I want deep
And this is what works for now
Because she’s everything I need [pause]
But she’s not you

I have a silly tendency
I fall in love too fast
The feeling is so strong
as if a spell is cast

And I run like a child
with a kite upon a string
I always find myself standing
with it wound around a tree.

[Chorus]

[solo]

I must abandon you forever, a faithless unbeliever
and the days will fuse together, cause I know I’ll never

[Chorus, modified]
Never take the middle ground
Don’t want shallow, only deep
And this is what works for now
Because she’s everything I need [pause, slower] But she’s not you

She’s not you… [fade with guitar]

Spill it

Style: Hard Rock

can’t let this get me
can’t let it take me away (into oblivion)

(open) hearts can kill you
love can knock you over (till you cannot stand)

Chorus:
kill it before it kills you (make it all go away)
spill blood before it spills you (don’t even try to stay)
with the pain

every day the pain
every way the gain (isn’t there at all)

any way you say it
it ain’t the way you see it (its turned around)

{chorus }
{solo (short) on verse chords }

(cause it ain’t what you think) you ain’t all that to her
(cause it ain’t what you think) you weren’t but a phase to her
(cause it ain’t what you think) you weren’t more than a good time (for one night)
(cause it ain’t what you think) you aren’t even thought of anymore…

{chorus} x2 }

with the pain
ain’t no gain in pain…

{3 hard strums and stop}
