Topic: "Why the Hell Not"

This is the first song I wrote and composed.  I don't know how to insert the notes and chords of this song in tab form, but here are the lyrics:

Verse:

Good Lord is the first phrase that
Enters into my head
When our eyes first became acquainted
On that orange day in late September

But I'm too afraid because
your gorgeousness, it
kills my words
Everytime I open up my mouth
A jar full of butterflies on crack
Gets released into my stomach

Chorus:

Right now I'm thinking my irresponsibilities might look cute
But you're looking at me like I'm a goddamn moron
It was just a pen
For gods sake I'm gonna have to be a lot more prepared
If I'm ever gonna get to make out with you

Verse 2:

The new year has dawned, and I've
Sent those butterflies away to rehab
The first couple times, I talk to you
You blow me off
But then the next time
Your mahogony eyes ignite
As you stroke your brown hair
So softly
And speak in sweet tone

Chorus:

Stresses of our daily lives prevents further communication
And destiny has led me in a new direction
Which means I won't see you a few time a week at class
Oh well maybe we'll cross paths later on
And get to meet each other yet another time

Outro

Who are you?
Is what I think when I think
Of you in that black turtle neck
With that braid in your hair

Hello Angledawg,

I do hope that the lady for which it was intended has heard, I am sure she loved it.

To get the chords displayed read James's 'sticky' at the start of the songwriting section but briefly you put the chords in square bracket [G], [C] etc in the place you play the chord. You have to have the instructions at the very start and end to make it work.

Well done and I hope to soon see it edited with the chords.

Really great descriptive lyrics and I wish I could hear it with music. I can totally relate to your words. Great stuff.

Nicely said angledawg - I would also like to hear this or at least know what chords you use.  James
