Topic: I Just Want Something

This song came about from being asked countless times my favorite job interview question, 'What do you want to do?'

I Just Want Something By Jeff Gilpin


October 4th, 2010


Intro -  strumming  D


[D]I don’t want to un[G]nerve you


But I [C]observe you [G]


Don’t seem [D]happy


See if you were in [G]my shoes


Sharing [C]my blues [G]


I might seem [D]sappy


But I just want [C]something


Something that [G]I can [C]


Say this is my [D]life


I just want [C]something


Something that [G]I can [C]


Say this is my [D]life




It seemed like for [G]so long


I was part of the [C]working throng [G]


Punching a [D]clock


Then someone made a [G]decision


Got my re[C]vision [G]


Told me to [D]walk


Now I just want [C]something


Something that [G]I can [C]


Say this is my [D]life


I just want [C]something


Something that [G]I can [C]


Say this is my [D]life





So now I’m trying to [G]find me


Something I [C]can see [G]


Me fitting [D]in


It’s hard for me to [G]answer


Questions that can [C]steer [G]


my new be[D]gin


‘Cause I just want [C]something


Something that [G]I can [C]


Say this is my [D]life


I just want [C]something


Something that [G]I can [C]


Say this is my [D]life


I think what I want is [G]simple


Something that [C]can fill [G]


Me up with [D]pride


Could be just helping [G]others


My sisters and [C]brothers [G]


Who need a [D]ride


I just want [C]something


Something that [G]I can [C]


Say this is my [D]life


I just want [C]something


Something that [G]I can [C]


Say this is my [D]life

Re: I Just Want Something

hi jeff,

i can so identify with this song having been unemployed for a year. luckily(?) i'm back in the saddle.

what i hate is that question on the application form that says; "why do you want this job?" what answer can you put down? cos i want to feed my family? cos i hate being unemployed? i just want a job, i dont care what it is?

dont mind me, i'm just having a rave.

love the song, recording coming soon?

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: I Just Want Something

Thanks Robert and Phill - Robert, I would love to work with you over there. Getting through all the paperwork and relocating might be tough though. I Here you too Phil. I think I need to start a school for interviewing. Recordings will be down the road some.
