Topic: Nothing’s ever what it seems song I wrote today
first of all , this song has nothing to with me or my life, purely a figment of my imagination.
I was reading a book and the line " life's never what it seems" kept coming up. it kinda stuck in my head and when I picked up my guitar, this is what eventually came out. It probably ( or certainly) will need some tweaking, but it's long and I'm spent.
So here it is.
Please let me know what you think .
Nothing’s ever what it seems By Jim Kenyon
Verse 1
.
[A]In the summer time when the [G]sun is warm
Love can[A] steal the hearts and minds of [G]men
I recall we [A]met on the [G]beach one night
my [D] life would never be the same again
.
[A]her eyes were blue, her [G]smile was deadly
Knew my [A] heart never stood a [G] chance
I watched her [A] silhouette moving a[G]gainst the sea
as [D] she swayed in a perfect moonlight dance
Chorus ( kinda 
)
)and[E] I couldn’t [F#m]help wondering,
am I[A] caught up in a bad [G]dream
I[E] stood there watching [F#m]breathlessly
Thinking [A] what could [D]this really [E] mean
nothing’s [G] ever [D]what it [A]seems
.
Verse 2
.
[A] there’s something about [G]falling in love
Feeling [A] things that you never felt be[G]fore
It doesn’t [A] seem to have a[G] rhyme or reason
It [D]always leaves you begging for something more
.
[A] But we got caught in the [G]winds of change
She seemed [A] to lose the purpose in her [G] eyes
We tried to [A]mask the problems from [G] each other
But [D]seems it turned out to be a poor disguise
.
Chorus ( kinda )
).
and[E] I couldn’t [F#m]help wondering,
what’s[A] happening to our [D]dreams
I[E] stood there rather [F#m]hopelessly
Thinking [A] what could [D]this really [E] mean
nothing’s [G] ever [D]what it [A]seems
Verse 3
.
[A]It appeared she was [G]changing colors
I guess it [A]depends on your point of [G]view
Must be what[A] we had just wasn’t[G] good enough
She was [D]always looking for something new
.
[A]she said it wasn’t the [G] life she wanted
felt like [A] she was always running a[G]way
gave the [A] illusion that we’d [G]work it out,
but ]we [Dboth knew she couldn’t stay
Chorus ( kinda )
).
and [E] I couldn’t [F#m]help wondering,
what [A] was shattering all our [D]dreams
I[E] stood back in the [F#m]shadows
thinking [A] what could [D]this really [E] mean
nothing’s [G]ever [D]what it [A]seems
Verse 4
.
[A] I was thinkingabout[G] her this morning
but you [A] know that ain’t really big [G]news
it only [A]leads to misery [G]and an empty home
where [D] the only colors left are the blues
.
[A]don’t know what we could've [G] done different
we made [A]too many mistakes [G]along the way
I never [A]would’ve guessed it would lead to [G]this
where [D] there's no tomorrows, only yesterdays
.
Chorus ( kinda )
).
and [E] I couldn’t [F#m]help but to ask myself
through [A] all the pretense and the [D]schemes
did she[E] really ever have love for [F#m] me
was she [A] using me 'til it was [D]time to [E] leave
nothing’s [G] ever [D]what it [A]seems
nothing’s [G]ever [D]what it [A]seems
oh, nothing’s [G]ever [D]what it [A]seems
