Demo coming...
This one was inspired by the night I had to get my second chest tube put in when my lung collapsed... again.
My wife was there the whole time and, just when I was ready to say "screw it. I'm done", she said something that made me howl with laughter... not the smartest, or most fun!, thing to do with a collapsed lung!... and it literally changed me forever.
It made me decide to get through that... and the rest of my life... with joy, laughter, kindness and, as I put it at the time, a goddamn smile on my face!
And I've decided that I'm gonna use FAWM to write at least a small ep called "Love Songs For That Chick I Like"...
I said it as a joke, but I started liking it more and more and more...
Dm
Gm Dm
...You made me smile
Gm Dm
...And Wouldn't let go of my hand
Gm Dm
...And Then you made me laugh
Gm F C C7
...And that saved my life
[Chorus]
F Bb F
You.... you Make this all seem right
Bb
You're the bright part of my life
You make everything alright
So glad that you're my wife
(End on Bb and go to Dm)
You've been around
Longer than you weren't
Through good times and the hurt
Makes me feel so good.
Chorus
Sax Solo

My lung collapsed twice, too! Back in 1997. I'm glad your wife convinced you to get through it, so we can all enjoy your music. This is very heartfelt and I can totally relate, because I love my wife, too! So we have two things in common. Really enjoyed this.

Nothing like old love. Nothing like a love song about old love. I've written a few myself.

Hey Mike
Personal songs like this are always so sweet. Can't wait to hear the demo.
Glad you're in this year. Hopefully catch you again at UWC sometime.
