Topic: The Other Side
I wrote this poem....
would like to make it into a blues style song.... but can't figure out the music yet
I put a couple of chords in here - if i'm not allowed to - just let me know and i'll remove them
Just about a guy that looks into the mirror and....well you'll see
hope you like it
The Other Side
[Em]Tonight I was confronted by a [Am]message from the other[Em] side
[Em]It said it knew my troubles, and [Am] every reason why I’ve ever [Em]cried
[Am]Said it knew the pain that I was hiding, be[Em]neath my crooked smile
[B7And ]all the lost and lonely feelings, that [Am]haunt me all the [Em]while
[Em]The other side knows the truth, and [Am] deep secrets never [Em[ told
[Em]It remembers loveless times with [Am] emotions turned stone [Em] cold
[Am]It knows fears in my head, that [Em]sometimes scream with rage
[B7]As I cry out for love to escape from this [Am] steel like empty [Em] cage
Chorus
[Am]Oh this message from my reflection, as I [Em] look into the mirror
[Am]mired in lyric, yet between the lines [Em]it becomes much clearer
[Am]hidden within my inner self, its [Em]always been my sweetest lie
[B7]always been my heart’s true passion baby , to [Am]love you or to[Em] die
[Em]The other side sees my demons and [Am] all of the dreams I [Em] chase
[Em]It knows my fears , it knows my hopes and [Am] the reality I must [Em]face
[Am]And hears the voice inside of me, when I[Em] softly say your name
[B7]When I whisper that I love you, and wonder if [Am] you still feel the [Em] same
Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.
