Topic: "In the Groove"

This is just a song about when you are "in the zone" at work or in life and how to generate it when you get in a rut.

In The Groove By Jeff Gilpin


March 30th, 2008


Verse 1


[E]With the pace of the world’s moving much too fast


[A]Sometimes I just want to sit on my ass


[D]Other times the world just [A]can’t move fast e[E]nough


[E]That’s when the world needs to keep up with me


[A]It’s kind of like I'm traveling at super speed


[D]While the world is [A]moving in slow [E]motion




Chorus

[D]That’s the time I [A]get up and get [E]going


[D]Reservoirs of [A]energy over[E]flowing


[D]Can’t describe the feeling


[A]That seems to get me reeling


[D]That’s the time [A]I’m in the [B7]groove




Verse 2


[E]That’s the days when work’s all fun


[A]Seems to infect everyone


[D]Those days work gets [A]done much too [E]soon


[E]Work gets done with time to spare


We’re [A]running around like we’re everywhere


[D]Feet don’t fail us [A]now when we’re in that [E]groove




Chorus

[D]That’s the time we [A]get up and get [E]going


[D]Reservoirs of [A]energy over[E]flowing


[D]Can’t describe the feeling



[A]That seems to get us reeling


[D]That’s the time [A]we’re in the [B7]groove




Bridge


[E]Looking back I see


[A]Nothing differently


[D]It’s all [A]just a state of [E]mind


[E]No different than


[A]How it could have been


[D]On those days [A]we fall [B7]behind




Verse 3


[E]So I’m wondering how to bridge


[A]The days I can’t get up the ridge


[D]With those days of [A]endless ener[E]gy


[E]I know it’s just a mental state


And if I [A]take a minute and contemplate


The [D]answer will be [A]plain for all to [E]see




Chorus

I [D]find out how to [A]get up and get [E]going


With [D]reservoirs of [A]energy over[E]flowing


[D]Want to catch that feeling


[A]That’ll get me reeling


I [D]want to get back [A] in the [B7]groove [E] [E7]

Re: "In the Groove"

Hi Jets, we meet again

fine song man, deep and thoughtful, glad you wrote about the up-side, I couldnt face the negative at 10.45 AM, I'm already getting ready for work at 2.0 PM, how sad is that .

Loved the song, hoping to have a week of "In The Grove" days

Regards
Phill

Re: "In the Groove"

Hi Jeff,

I have been 'In The Groove' today and got several half finished chores completed so feeling good. Nice song, thank you.

By the way I just went to look at your website to check if it was on there but I got a 'Page Not Found' message although I got to Russ's, Phill's and Helena's with no trouble.

Re: "In the Groove"

Hey Roger -  Thanks - I fixed it. I messed it up way back when the forum first started but it looks better now. I can at least get to my page now.
