Thanks for the reply, glad you liked it. It's not 100% experience I think most songs/poems/fiction are like 80% experience and 20% dramatic license.

I'm a bit of a novice song writer and this is the second song I've composed in full so I though I'd see what some of the more experienced song writers thought of it. I'm posting the second one because I like it better than the first and I don't have the first memorized. Here goes nothing:
[SONG]
{t:Keep Looking for You}
{st:Warren}

The G lasts for two measures, as does the D in the chorus.

[G]There was something in my [C]heart [Am]
[G]Told me I was in love with [C]you [Am]
[G]But all you ever wanted was to be [C]apart [Am]
[G]Tell me what was I supposed to [C]do [Am]
[G]There was something in my [C]mind [Am]
[G]Told me you were the [C]one [Am]
[G]But all you ever treaded me was un[C]kind [Am]
[G]Tell me you love me then you [C]run [Am]

Chorus:
[D]Maybe I wasn’t supposed to [Am]tell you how I [Em]felt
[D]Sometimes baby you gotta play the [Am]hand that you were [Em]dealt
[D]Gonna keep on lovin’ you no matter [Am]what you [Em]say
[D]Cause no amount of words will [Am]make this go [Em]away

[G]There was something in my [C]skin [Am]
[G]Told me you weren’t comin’ [C]back [Am]
[G]I’m starting to think that I can never [C]win [Am]
[G]That the odds against me are [C]stacked [Am]

[G]There was something in my [C]soul [Am]
[G]Told me I was gonna make it [C]through [Am]
[G]Though in my life you left a [C]hole [Am]
[G]And things seem so empty without [C]you [Am]

Chorus
[G]Now I’m sittin’ here all [C]alone [Am]
[G]Waiting to hear from [C]you [Am]
[G]But you won’t even call me on the [C]phone [Am]
[G]You’ve left me feeling so [C]blue [Am]

[G]I guess I thought it would be [C]easy [Am]
[G]To up and leave you [C]behind [Am]
[G]But I need you woman to [C]appease me [Am]
[G]I guess it’s you I’ll have to [C]find [Am]

[D]So I’m gonna keep on looking for you [Am]until you come [Em]back
[D]Cause baby you’re the only thing [Am]my life [Em]lacks
[D]I guess I still love you even [Am]though you did me [Em]wrong
[D]And baby with you well that’s [Am]where I [Em]belong

[D]From deep in my heart to the [Am]hairs on my [Em]skin
[D]I know I’ll keep looking for you til I [Am]find you [Em]again
[D]Keep on looking for you til I [Am]find you [Em]again
[D]Never stop looking for you til I [Am]find you [Em]again
[/SONG]
