Topic: The Funny Thing (My First Song!)

So this is my first song I've ever posted on here (and the first full song I've ever written).  I woke up today and instead of doing work or going to class (which I probably should of done) I just had this song in my head that I needed to get out.  Hope you like it!

The Funny ThingBy Mike G


Capo 4th Fret; Finger Pick The Verses, Strum the Chorus and Bridge




I'm [Am]fall[C]ing alseep[G] [D]


But my [Am]arm alrea[C]dy [G]beat [D]me


Because it's [Am]under you[C] [G] [D]




And I [Am]turn [C]to the [G]side [D]


to [Am]catch you [C]with your [G]eyes closed [D]tight


so I [Am]close [C]mine [G]too [D]


But see the [G]funny thing [Cadd9]


About [Em7]when I close my [D]eyes


Is you're still [G]what I see [Cadd9]


Cause I'm [Em7]dreaming of [D]you


And the [G]funny thing [Cadd9]


Is it's [Em7]no surpirse [D]


What I [G]see [Cadd9]


Because [Em7]all I need is [D]you


Well you [Am]already [C]know [G] [D]


that [Am]waking up is the [C]hardest part of my [G]day, well these [D]days


But you're not [Am]ready to know [C] [G] [D]


that its [Am]not because I [C]need sleep, I [G]don't, [D]not today


See the [G]funny thing [Cadd9]


About [Em7]when I close my [D]eyes


Is you're still [G]what I see [Cadd9]



Cause I'm [Em7]dreaming of [D]you


And the [G]funny thing [Cadd9]


Is it's [Em7]no surpirse [D]


What I [G]see [Cadd9]


Because [Em7]all I need is [D]you


So no [Cadd9]matter what time you [G]go


No [Cadd9]matter when you [D]leave me


I close my [Cadd9]eyes cause I [G]know


That there's [Cadd9]no gauran-[D]tee


You'll come [G]back to me [Cadd9] [Em7] [D]


But see the [G]funny thing [Cadd9]


About [Em7]when I close my [D]eyes


Is you're still [G]what I see [Cadd9]


Cause I'm [Em7]dreaming of [D]you


And the [G]funny thing [Cadd9]


Is it's [Em7]no surpirse [D]


What I [G]see [Cadd9]


Because [Em7]all I need is [D]you


I'm [Am]fall-[C]ing alseep[G] [D]


But my [Am]arm alre-[C]ady [G]beat [D]me


Because it's [Am]under you[C] [G] [D]


Yeah [Am]just like [C]me it [G]can't get [D]over [G]you

Re: The Funny Thing (My First Song!)

Hi ExLB,

great first song, I wish my attempts could be so good.
Very modern and today, is it in a Suzanne Vega style James Blunt? Or maybe it's more electric/electronic? it doesn't appear to me to be rap, just trying to work out the style it should be played!

Welcome and looking forward to seeing more from you.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
