I Got Love 

Music & Lyrics by Stephen Dobson

C Am F C

 

Yeah I got love,

But do I know how to use it?

‘Cause I don’t wanna use you up.

Yeah I got love

And I don’t want to lose it..

‘Do anything to make this river stop.

 

But the further on we travel

Yeah the further down we go

I’ve been tryin’a work out, baby,

Just how far can I curb your flow?

And how much of my fields

Do you wanna help me grow?

And just how much about me, baby,

Do you wanna know?

(repeats from beginning)

MIDDAY MELANCHOLY (DEMO)

Music & Lyrics by Stephen Dobson

Am G

You might stay 

Locked inside the house all day 

The sun is outside, 

But inside’s only grey. 

 

You might make 

Another drink to ease the pain 

Everyday is just the same

As you watch your life go the drain

 

F, G

You got that midday melancholy 

C, Cm9/B , Am (Walkdown)

Blue skies and tears

F, G

No I just don’t want anybody

C, Cm9/B , Am (Walkdown)

To see me like this

F,G,C

So I’ll just stay here on my own


 Am, G

You might cave

Cower when you could be brave

Lie down in that bed you’ve made 

And hope your dreams might keep you safe.

 

You might play 

A song to pass the time away, 

Sing of how you’ve tried to change 

But are you lying to yourself again?

Chorus


 

Bridge Builder  

Music & Lyrics by Stephen Dobson

Am F C G

I thought I was a Bridge Builder

Until the bridges fell

I thought I was bound for heaven

Until I found myself in hell

 

I thought I was a straight cane

Growing into the sky

Until a sharp scythe in a dark night

Came and cut me down to size

 

I’m trying to say im sorry

So I wrote it in a song

I’m not saying that you were right

I’m just saying that I was wrong because…

(repeats from beginning)

LEMONADE

F#m Bm E A

Woke up, my mouth was dry

Sun shining bright in my eyes

Gonna give it just one more try

To make something of this wasted life

A pound of sugar and a bag of ice

Stirred around about a doxen times

Seems no matter how hard I try

These thoughts keep going around my mind

This lemonade kind of life, I spent all day trying to make it right

This lemonade kind of life, I spent all day trying to make it right

 

Plese be patient if I take my time

With my cardboard and Crayola signs

I’m not lazy, I just can;t decide

On the price to sell my pride

This lemonade kind of life, I spent all day trying to make it right

This lemonade kind of life, I spent all day trying to make it right

…And if no one comes, I don’t mind

I have to pay the price for my life unkind

You can have everything that’s mine

But my eyes are dry from crying

This lemonade kind of life, I spent all day trying to make it right

This lemonade kind of life, I spent all day trying to make it right

This lemonade kind of life, I spent all day trying to make it right

This lemonade kind of life, I spent all day trying to make it right
