Topic: "That Silly Girl I Love"

My wife has a habit of getting extremely focused on whatever project she’s doing; so much so that she sometimes forgets to have fun. I consider it my job to help her have fun when she gets this way which works sometimes and other times backfires but is still usually fun, at least for me.

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

Jeff,
Sounds a little like my wife. She gets so caught up in something she forgets to have fun. I see a mess and it'll get cleaned at my speed, but she panics over the slightest little things. She's the exact opposite of me ( and I LOVE HER DEARLY), I think life would be pretty boaring if she was just like me.

If you're not happy with what you have...
Then you'll never be happy with what you get...

Hi Jets,

I think the Men here along with yourself should take a bow

for your awareness of this trait in your woman.

Well done Lads.

Re: "That Silly Girl I Love"

hi jeff a lovely song well done....stay cool

love is life ,life is for love,keep a true heart and live life to the full....stay cool

Re: "That Silly Girl I Love"

Thanks you all.

Phill - She liked it because she knows she gets a little too focused sometimes so I have to pull her out. I play it in a slow finger pick like a country ballad for the verses and go into strumming on the chorus.

Eagleeye - We kind of balance each other out. I get like that too sometimes and she'll have to drag me out of it. Maybe why we've been together so long.

Lena - I see how lucky I am and I try and help her when she needs it.

Re: "That Silly Girl I Love"

Nice one Jeff,

Great chord progression and it does often seem to be a female trait that they take things, and life, too seriously sometimes and this is just the song to cure it.

Mind you the ladies probably say that many of us men do not take things serious enough and perhaps we should grow up.

Thanks Roger - just so long as we don't get too much on each others nerves...she lets me know when to stay away...or when to act more mature.
