Topic: If it was down to me

this one came to me as i woke up this morning, so i wrote it down quick, then recorded it this afternoon, it's all about being prepared to give your life for the one you love.}

if it was down to meUndefined


verse 1




Lights and [D] bells, pretty pic[F#m]tures


looks just [Bm]like a Christmas [A]card


i see the [D]snow fall, i feel the [F#m]coldness


i see the [Bm]river freezing [A]hard


and with the [G]thaw, comes the [D]wonder


takes me [Bm]back to years [A]ago


i real[D]ise if you were [F#m]calling


wanting [Bm]me to guide you [A]home


i'd be [G]there i'd be your [D]saviour


i'd give my [Bm]life to keep you [A]warm


i'd save my [G]love, my love is [D]you dear


and this i'd [Em]do, [A]if it came down to [D]me




[spoken over verse]


was i romeo, were you juliet?


in another life had we even met?


but every lifetime our souls attract


me to you, and here's a fact


if we were born a world apart



somehow we'd meet i have no doubt


our destinies so intertwined


one heart one soul, one love, one mind




verse 2 [repeat verse 1 cbords]




i saw your face in a picture


and felt my heart beat harder in my chest


walked in a room i smelt your perfume


i felt your warmth though you weren't there


i take my strength from your sweetness


i feel warm inside your smile


i realise if i were calling


wanting you to guide me home


you'd be there, you'd be my saviour


you'd give your life to keep me warm


i feel the love my love is you dear


all this i'd do, if it came down to me.

Re: If it was down to me

hi daddy,
i've transposed the chords for you into key C.

C-Em-Am-G for the first section, then;

F-C-Am-G for the second part, and play Dm for the Em at the end of the verse.
it's on myspace if you fancy a listen

Re: If it was down to me

Lovely as always Phil.

It does remind me somewhat of Angelinas Soul.  Written here Sometime ago now. By Marcalan.

It was also about soul mates. I have also listened to the recording.

You sure dont waste time lad.

Well done good song.
