Topic: MORE THAN
this began as a riff while i was torturing my guitar two weeks ago! then came chords, finally words. i discovered the theme came from a letter from an insurance company (more than)
and i think the words were inspired by Helena's "Mantis Woman". it's moved on to the girl taking a holiday with her friends to Spain or Turkey where she meets a waiter or just a gigalo, but finds he's not the nice guy he seemed on the beach, she owns up, but can her boyfriend trust her ever again?...girls be warned!
More ThanUndefined
chorus
More than just a [D]smile, [Bm]more than just a word
More than just a [G]sign, [Em]more than things you've h[A]eard
listen to the [G]wind[A] pas[Bm]sing through the [Em]trees
When the summers [G]gone,[F#m] [Em] still the [A]wind [G]goes [D]on
My love was far [Bm]away, on a distant [Em]shore[A]
She phoned me every [Bm]day, her love for me she [Em]swore[A]
How slow the days passed [G]by, [A] [Bm]minutes seemed like [Em]days
The time for her [G]return,[A] [Bm] but she [Gm]never [D]came
I waited every day, waited for her call (REPEAT SAME CHORDS FOR EACH VERSE)
And when at last it came, i was ready for the fall
She'd met another man, on a beach he looked so cool
That night he showed a side, a side that was so cruel
repeat chorus
[G]Too late [A] [Bm] [D]to[A] be [G]sorry[A] [Bm] [D]
Too[A] much [G]pain [A] [Bm]to carry
[Em]How could [Gm]she be trusted [D]now?
repeat chorus
how sorry she became, now she wanted to return
How could i take her back, with all the things I'd learned?
If he'd been something else, a saint to make her proud
Would she still want me, would she here now?
alternative chorus
More than just a smile, more than just a word
More than just a sign, more than things you've heard
More than just a lie, a secret hard to hold
The lie begins to hurt, when the story's told
PS, I've already put this on my web.
Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
