Topic: Clear in My Mind
It's been a little while since I posted anything new. So since I haven't written a new song I thought I would share this old one I came across (and hasn't been on chordie yet). I wrote this when I was in between jobs and not seeing an end in site, and I think that mood I was end led me to more creative thinking, if a bit sad. Anyway - here it is and I hope you enjoy it. I need to work on performing this one better prior to recording so no promises on when this goes to soundcloud, but I will try and get it there.
Clear in My Mind By Jeff Gilpin
November 10, 2013
/<verse 1>\
[A]I’ll wake up to a[D]nother day
Just to [G]pass the time a[A]way
[A]Doing the same old [D]J O B
Unless [G]something else gets in my [A]way
[G]But if it was something like [D]you I’d be [A]glad
[G]Something not half as [D]fun I’d probably get [A]mad
[G]Either way I’m pretty [D]sure I’ll make it [A]through
[Em]Until another day begins like they always [G]do
/<verse 2>\
[A]I wonder what [D]life would be like
If [G]awake and asleep were re[A]versed
Where your [A]dreams were all that [D]mattered
Your [G]waking life less re[A]hearsed
[G]If that happened [D]I’d pay more at[A]tention
[G]To all my dreams even [D]those I don’t care to [A]mention
[G]But until that [D]time I’ll still [A]forget
Those [Em]dreams about the stuff that I’ll never [G]get [G7]
/<chorus 1>\
Because [D]dreams they don’t come true accept for [A]bad ones
[D]Happy times always dissolve into [A]sad ones
But I’ll [D]always try and keep what’s important [A]clear in my mind
Like whenever you’re [Em]near
I look forward to another [A]day
/<verse 3>\
[A]Seems to me like [D]half the people
In the [G]world want different [A]things
And [A]what makes one half [D]happy
Makes the [G]other half want to [A]scream
Or [G]maybe the other [D]half just don’t under[A]stand
The [G]way that others [D]live in those distant [A]lands
And [G]maybe if the other [D]half under[A]stood
[Em]We could work together for a common [G]good [G7]
/<chorus 2>\
And [D] make our dreams come true accept the [A]bad ones
[D]Happy times always never [A]sad ones
I’ll [D]always keep what’s important [A]clear
Like whenever you’re [Em]near
And look forward to another [A]day
