"Where I wanna be"

hi spartan2471 welcome to chordie , it does concern us when someone so young writes a final life song wanting to be with god but we all have our ups and downs,anyway its a good first post,turn your attention to writing songs and you'll find its very uplifting,well done....stay cool

This is a nice first effort and I think if you feel you should modify the lyrics to reflect your feelings for this girl leave the lord out of it otherwise it sounds like a epitaph but its well written and as kap says learn chopro formating its really not that hard in chopro an easy song like "mary had a little lamb" what you need to do is use [song} in [ ] lower case brakets I had to use a } uppercase braket or it would have turnned chopro on then {t:for title and enclose it with a } uppercase braket and all chords are capital like [C]mary had a little lamb [G]little lamb [C]little lamb ect.. that will put the chords in blue print over the words where the chord change occurs and a minor is expressed as [Gm] capital G small m in brakets for the chorus {soc} abbreviation for "start of chorus" and {eoc} for end of chorus the chorus prints out like italalics and at the end of the song you have to put [/song] this turns off the chopro formating it only looks hard but its easier to learn then some video games ive seen

Here's my diferent version,I edited it a little but it sound better as in refering to someone i love.

Verse 1

G                                     D                            Em                                     
I’m trapped in here with nothing to do, and all I can think about is
C           G        C         D           G            Em      D             
You. So please, please, rescue me, and take me where I want to
                 G                           D                              C
Be. Where all my hopes and all my dreams come true,
G        D     C
That’s with you.

Chorus

G            C           D
Take me from this place.
G                D           Em         
Oh please take me to her.
G         C            D
Let me see her face.
G   D        Em
Let me be sure.

Verse 2
G                           D
I wish that I could see you,
Em                  C
I really wish I could.
D                   C
But all of my attempts,
G                              D
They all don’t say I should.
G         D
I can’t stop myself,
Em                        C
No, I don’t think I could.
G           
Cause’ all the time,
D 
It’s only you,
         Em               C
That occupies my mind.

Chorus x2

End

{c:Chorus x2}

{c:End}

you need to add [ song ] at the very beginning....and [ /song ] at the very end...
right after [song] put the title { t:Where I Wanna Be }

but do not use spaces like i did here...

Probably need to get with Roger on that...I was able to do it on songsheet generator by creating a custom chord...if you want to try it out heres the link http://tenbyten.com/software/songsgen/download.php
