Topic: Face to Face

I had some time on my hands and started messing around on my Rickenbacker.
There's this couple I know - they fight all the time, but  Jeez - the sure love each other.  This is kinda how I thought they feel. Let me know what you think.

Kind of a Rock Ballad  (Duet}

Face to Face   By Jim Kenyon


________________________________________




Verse 1 – Male


.


[D]seems every road leads [Cadd9] to this place




so [G] here we are again [D] face to face




[D]Truth cuts deep right [Cadd9] through my skin


[G] weak alibis and [D] too many sins


.




Verse 1 – Female




[D]You hold back, and [Cadd9] I run scared




I [G]hate the quiet when [D] tempers flare


[D]one more round [Cadd9]one more scar


[G] words like weapons, [D]leave a mark


.


Chorus – Together, Harmonized


.




yeah [A] we burn, we bleed, we [Cadd9] bruise, we fight



[G]We curse the day, and [D]beg for the night



[A ]Love like this don’t [Cadd9] fade away



oh it [G] screams, it haunts, but it [D ] makes us stay




so[Cadd9]Here we are, [G]face to [D]face




Yeah. [Cadd9]Here we are, [G]face to [D]face


.






[Verse 2 – Female


.




[D]this can be diamonds [Cadd9] or turn to rust




[G] break me or save me [D] if you must


[D]You chase shadows, [Cadd9] I chase light


[G]Still we hold on[D] all through the night



.




Verse 2 – Male


.




[D] I've said things I [Cadd9] can’t defend


Some[G] times our hearts are [D] slow to mend


[D] Through every storm [Cadd9] I still believe


[G] You're still the fire [D] that burns in me


.




.


Chorus – Together


.






yeah [A] we burn, we bleed, we [Cadd9] bruise, we fight



[G]We curse the day, and [D]beg for the night



[A ]Love like this don’t [Cadd9] fade away



oh it [G] screams, it haunts but it [D ] makes us stay




so [Cadd9]Here we are, [G]face to [D]face




Yeah. [Cadd9]Here we are, [G]face to [D]face


.




Outgo – Alternating Lines, Then Unison





(Female):


[Cadd9]When I’m in your [G]arms, the world fades [D]away




(Male):


[Cadd9] You’re the calm that [G]gets me through the [D] day






(Together):




[Cadd9]A love like ours, [G] time can’t [D] erase


[Cadd9]Not when we're to[G]gether, face to [D] face

Re: Face to Face

OK   

since no one commented I figured it must suck and need work  so I changed chords - rewrote a lot of the lyrics.

Ii think it's where I want it to be now.
