Had the chord structure in a quick noodle last night. Recorded the guitar, added a melody and lyrics, then the bass (first time this FAWM) and some harmonies. All just flowed out in this afternoon in less than an hour. As usual will need work and tidying but I like it. I like the way the repeating patterns emerged in the lyric, wasn't really conscious of it to begin with, then it had to continue through the rest of the verses.
lyrics
V1
Dsus4#5 D F#7
Miles away on my own
Bm G (Barre)
And I cant seem to find my way back home to you
hide away on my own
And i gotta find a way to get back home to you
E ASus4 A
There’s an awful lot water that’s been under the bridge
E ASus4 A
tide and time has waited for no man
V2
Lost and tired on my own
And I cant seem to find my way back home to you
Scared and tired on my own
And i gotta find a way to get back home to you
There’s an awful lot water that’s been under the bridge
tide and time has waited for no man
G A#
What can I do
D A
to make it right with you
Can I be true
and make it right with you
V3
Down and out on my own
And I cant seem to find my way back home to you
Beat and out on my own
And i gotta find a way to get back home to you
There’s an awful lot water that’s been under the bridge
tide and time has waited for no man
V1
Miles away on my own
And I cant seem to find my way back home to you
hide away on my own
And i gotta find a way to get back home to you
