some really good lines in this one I sense some bitterness there!
There a couple I don't understand - but that doesn't mean they aren't great - I just didn't get it.
I'm not sure how to play it though. Is this a "metalizer" song ?The BM and F# kill me - I don't even know how to play them
I will look forward to hearing this one.

Jiim, they are power chords (basically root 5ths) and the style fo rthis was the link in the poetry section. I'll re-post it for ya.

Bm = x 2 4 4 3 x
F# = 2 4 4 x x x
Ill be honest here, I plagiarized most the chord structure. A few minor changes put in. (Even when I play their song it still sounds like me! LOLOL)

Re: Gaming Chair (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
is your chair equipped with a volume control/amp or passive?
Does your amp have a headphone out? Run the jack from that to the chair via adaptors. that would be your best bet. OR a headphone amp depending on budget.
https://headphonescompared.com/best-gui … mplifiers/
I would go with the Berhinger. its a load options with great bang for the buck. Or look up the Digitech RP 70 or 200 / 250. on e bay lots of useable stuff for next to nothing with a headphone out.

Topic: Thoughts on songwriting (5 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I was reading an article, and then got the idea to look up a few opinions about songwriting. I find them interesting. Some, most, are basic you would think common sense, but a lot of us forget the points being brought up.
“You have to understand that music is something to be shared, and the function of music is putting people in different moods—it’s there to make them feel happy, powerful, or melancholic. It has a purpose.
Music is a tribal experience, and it is about connection. And if you don’t understand this, you simply cannot be successful. Figure out how to reach in and change their emotions. Learn how to put them in a mood. That’s what music is for.”
- Jason Hook, Five Finger Death Punch (Paraphrased from guitar player online interview)
"I'm doing the best I can. You can't say I didn't try really hard because I'm really trying hard to be good."
– Tom Petty
"But I'm of the school of the instinctive. I once worked with Allen Ginsberg and Allen always used to say, 'First thought, best thought.' And then he would edit everything. But I think the theory is good. 'First thought, best thought.' It doesn't always work, but as a general idea I will try and do that and sometimes I come out with a puzzling set of words that I have no idea what I mean, and yet I've got to kind of make sense of it and follow the trail."
- Sir Paul McCartney (NPR Interview)
“..And remember, a song should contain only one story, or one message, told from a single point of view”…. “You have to try to find a melody and lyric that will braid together and create four minutes of memory that you will have for the rest of your life”
- Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters
“…writing the melody first gives me more freedom than doing it the other way around”.. “It’s very important to have a great melody, if you have one, build your song around that. Don’t make it too complicated.”
– Max Martin. POP Hit writer “go to guy”
I think that is good for now.
Cheers and have fun.

COLD
by Five Finger Death Punch.

Actual https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPeDJ-aMtJ8
And the lyrics since I tried to sing and trust me its better if I don't. the actual song also has piano filling up the space between the 3 chords. Tuned to C#. F#, E, D
I'm gazing upward, a world I can't embrace
There's only thorns and splinters, venom in my veins
It's okay to cry out, when it's driving you insane
But somehow someday, I'll have to face the pain
It's all gone cold...
But no one wants the blame
It's all so wrong...
But who am I, who am I to say?
I'm begging for forgiveness, everything I've done
If God is listening, He knows I'm not the only one
It's okay to lash out from the rules that I'm enslaved
But somehow someday, I'll have to turn the page
It's all gone cold...
And no one wants to change
It's all so wrong...
But no one wants the blame
It's all gone cold...
There's nothing left to gain
It's all so wrong...
But who am I, who am I to say?
My heart's an endless winter filled with rage
I'm looking forward to forgetting yesterday
It's all gone cold...
And no one wants to change
It's all so wrong...
But no one wants the blame
It's all gone cold...
There's nothing left to gain

Well in his mentality, he was never evil. People tend to forget also that very early on, Bat-Man also had no problems killing someone (Neither did Green Arrow). It was not till later that he (Azrael) met Bat-Man and also gave it up.
