I was a twitter friend  of Jennifer's who had suffered horrendous
Sexual abuse in Rotherham.   I wrote her this song and was going
to post it to her when I finished it, but I got banned from twitter.

Jennifer

Verse 1
C                                                   Em                       Am
Where do you go when there’s nowhere left to go?
C                             Dm                C             G       
When your life is despair and nobody cares for you.
C                                              Em                          Am
You want to run but there’s nowhere you can hide.
C                   Dm                    C                            G       
Nowhere is safe from the shame and there hate.

Chorus
Am
Close your eyes
                   Dm7
Dig down deep inside
         Fmaj7      G6                   G              Am
And rise up    like a phoenix from the flame
Am                         Dm7
Don’t give up, go live your life
         Fmaj7                   G               Am
And never let no one hurt you again

Verse 2
C                                                        Em                         Am
I know there are times when you feel you can’t go on.
C                             Dm                C         G       
The stories you share are so hard to bare for you.
C                                       Em                            Am
know you give voice to those who cannot speak.
C                                 Dm    C                     G       
Who still hide their face Jen you show them the way. 
   
Chorus

Solo
C  Em Am C Dm C G
C  Em Am C Dm C G   

Chorus to fade.

Keep it real,the stuff i write is mostly controversial stuff, which does not go down to well ,but i feel it still needs to be said.
I'm not to good at writing love songs either. As for writing songs i write a verse then get stuck for the rest. A melody and chords come then can't write the lyric,sometimes words,chords and melody come and it all just flows out It's rare though.

Cheers keep it real,the chord progression keeps with the line in the song'"nothing seem to change in my life" so the chords don't change just repeat,apart use different inversions.
I have recorded the song ,but I realised after I'm faintly derderdering  under the instrumental part.haha! Sent now to songwriting comp so to late to worry.  I will upload to soundcloud and post the link here under lyrics,i did it in one take so not perfect.
Thanks again for commenting.

I wrote this song because of all the hate against tradition,loving
your country and wanting a safe place for your children to live,                       
Haven't yet thought of a third verse but it will come.
  "Long live free speech!!!!"

Cheers Richard for pointing that out ,the guitar seems to drown out the bass and drums. Next time ill get it right ,its all learning. Sounds great on my pc probably because the graphic equaliser sweetened it up.

Thank you Jim, keepitreal,Phil and  Tenement Funster,I  agree with keeping it an instrumental, but i wanted a song to enter this years uk songwriting contest, so had to add lyrics. All i need now is someone to sing it. I've posted the song in the song writing section for all who are interested.  Thank you all again for the positive response.

I read your comment about keeping stormy skies as an instrumental but I
Had already written the lyrics. So I thought I would post anyways for those
that are interested.


Stormy Skies

Am7

Verse 1
                  G69/E                     C6
I want to walk the wire and not be scared of falling
                  G69/E                                  Cmaj7
I want to run sometimes and never stop
                G69/E                         C6
I long to feel your touch and not feel undeserving
                 D6       B7sus4 /E         Esus4
I want to be beyond the stormy skies

Verse 2
                         G69/E                 C6
I want you to look at me and not just see a reflection
                         G69/E                               Cmaj7
I want you to see theirs passion in my eyes
                         G69/E                       C6
It hurts when you turn away and all I feel is rejection
                D6        B7sus4 /E          Esus4
I want to be beyond the stormy skies

Chorus
                         Fmaj7
When all my friends, just say
C69/A
“It’s all your imagination”
                 Fmaj7 G6         Gm6    Am7/G
I want to be beyond the stormy skies
                         Fmaj7
When all my faith is lost
C69/A
And my life is not forgiving
                Fmaj7 G6          Gm6    Am7/G
I want to be beyond the stormy skies

Verse 3
                  G69/E                          C6
I want to dive in deep and not be scared of drowning
                G69/E                              Cmaj7
I want to fly so high and not get burnt 
                        G69/E                       C6
I want you to feel my love, why can’t you feel this yearning
                 D6       B7sus4 /E          Esus4
I want to be beyond the stormy skies

Repeat Chorus

Break
G69/E             C6
G69/E             Cmaj7
G69/E             C6
D6                   B7sus4/E          Esus4


Repeat Chorus to fade
