Independence

Verse 1
        G                  D
I’m holding my head higher
C          Em
Than I’ve held it before
G              D
I’m looking for independence
C            Em
A journey I’m on my own for
G            D
There can’t be another day
C        Em
I have to be looked after
G            D       
I have to be alone
Em        C        C
For this endless chapter

Chorus 1
Em            C
I’m on the road to independence
Em                    G
It’s not working out for me
D
Cos’ everytime I see his eyes
C            Em
I know he should be with me
Em                 G
Maybe then I’d understand
D        C           Em
Independence isn’t the key

Verse 2
So here I am again
Acting like a school girl
Looking into his eyes
I choke back on giggles

I wonder once again
What it feels to be in his arms
I start to remember
When I just fall into them

Bridge
D                              C        Em
Independence isn’t right for me
D            C        Em
Independent isn’t really what I wanna be
D              C        Em
Independence is supposed to be fun
C        G
But it isn’t, and I’m sick of it
Em                      D  D7   D
I wanna be with you…

Chorus 1

Chorus 2
I was on the road to independence
It didn’t work out for me
Cos’ I would rather be with you
Then on my own with nothing to do
And now I understand
Independence isn’t right
When around family and friends

Re: Independence

Good gracious, Rhiannon!  Such a complex state of affairs . . . I'm glad that I am a shallow individual and largely untroubles by such conflicted emotions.  There is no guy worth so much complicated trauma.

Sometimes I'm tired.  Sometimes I'm hungry.  Sometimes I am both tired and hungry - and that is about as complicated as my emotions ever get . . . maybe that's because I am a male?

Very nice song - would love to hear a recording of it on Friends of Chordie or somewhere.

Re: Independence

Hi Rhiannon,

Great and thought provoking song from you and as James said a recording would be great.

As a 'nearly' relative I will come and sort this guy out if he does not treat you right.

Re: Independence

Hi  Rhiannon
Nice song. I guess it's from the heart.
Sometimes you don't know what you have got till you try to live without it.
