Notes About The Poem

THANK YOU, DARREN WHITE FOR THE TWEAKS

Staring At the Walls

F
At these walls, I am staring
Am
They don't seem to be sharing
C
The way I feel
G
About you

F
In the night when I'm alone
Am
I reach for the silent phone
C
Just to tell you
G
How I feel

Chorus:

D                                 E
You don't know where I roam
                   G
Where I call home
               D
You don't know

D                                    E
You don't know where I belong
                        G
What makes me strong
               D
You don't know

F
As I walk this path today
Am
I just sometimes need to say
C
I'm thinkin' always
G
Of you

F
Wonderful world this would be
Am
If we all could learn to see
C
Through the eyes
G
Of dreamers

Chorus: 

D                                 E
You don't know where I roam
                   G
Where I call home
               D
You don't know

D                                    E
You don't know where I belong
                        G
What makes me strong
               D
You don't know

Solo lead break for 16 Bars~

F
At four grey walls, I stare
Am
When it gets too much to bear
C
Nothing matters
G
Without you

F
In the night I'm cryin' out
Am
More of a whisper than a shout
C
Wanting you with me
G
While I dream

Chorus:

D                                 E
You don't know where I roam
                   G
Where I call home
               D
You don't know

D                                    E
You don't know where I belong
                        G
What makes me strong
               D
You don't know

F
It's not that I'm complaining
Am
Still, these memories remain
C
Of the past times
G
Spent with you

F
In the night when I'm alone
Am
I keep reachin' for the phone
C
Just to tell you
G
How I feel

Chorus: 

D                                 E
You don't know where I roam
                   G
Where I call home
               D
You don't know

D                                    E
You don't know where I belong
                        G
What makes me strong
               D
You don't know

F
In the night when I'm alone
Am
I keep reachin' for the phone
C
Just to tell you
G sustain
How I feel.

What's a Budgie? I am amazed Wolf! I have tried writing lyrics but just can't get the hang of it. What's the trick? Anyway, really enjoyed this. - Dean

Haha, it's short for budgerigar, it's my nickname! If you can write poetry then you can do lyrics! This one I did the lyrics first then put the music to them, but usually, I do the music first! Thanks, Dean /|\

Wonderful song, WW, took me a while to figure out what you were doing with the Letters. At first I thought it was an acrostic verse..

Haha, but then you got to the chorus and thought, Ahh! Thanks, Eve /|\
