Topic: "Human Frailty"

This song is kind of odd but about a lot of stuff like human weaknesses of the body and spirit I guess. See what you think.

Human Frailty By Jeff Gilpin


December 6th, 2008


Verse 1


If [D]you drink too much [A]whiskey you [G]go to [D]Detox


Drink [D]too much alco[A]hol they’ll [G]dry you [D]out


But if you [G]drink too much of me don’t [D]worry I’ll set you [G]free


Yeah but [D]drink too much you’ll [A]find what [G]detox is a[D]bout [A]




Verse 2


[D]Snort too much co[A]caine you’ll [G]go to [D]rehab


[D]Breathing in too much [A]powder [G]messes with your [D]head


But if you [G]breath too much of me don’t [D]worry I’ll set you [G]free


But [D]snort too much co[A]caine you [G]might end up [D]dead [D7]




Bridge

[A]We got places that will fix most human [D]frailty


When [A]we succumb to weaknesses of the [D]flesh


But [E]there are no cures for getting over [E7]you babe


So [A]if you walk away I’ll just [A7]try to start over fresh




Verse 3


[D]Or maybe I’ll just [A]crawl in[G]to a [D]bottle


[D]Drink until my [A]mind some[G]how for[D]gets


But [G]if I wash my mind your [D]stain's still left be[G]hind


So [D]I’ll not crawl in[A]to one at [G]least not [D]yet [A]





Verse 4


[D]Drugs might be the [A]answer [G]to my [D]prayers


To [D]numb my mind and [A]forget [G]you for a[D]while


But [G]all the drugs I could do wouldn’t [D]shine half as bright as [G]you


So [D]maybe taking [A]drugs are [G]not my [D]style[D7]




Bridge

[A]We got places that will fix most human [D]frailty


When [A]we succumb to weaknesses of the [D]flesh


But [E]there are no cures for getting over [E7]you babe


So [A]if you walk away I’ll just [A7]try to start over fresh




Verse 5


Or [D]I guess I had [A]better [G]find a [D]way


[D]So that you want to [A]keep your[G]self a[D]round


Because [G]no matter what I do I could [D]never get over [G]you


With [D]you I’m always [A]up for a[G]nother [D]round[A]




Verse 6


So [D]don’t go drinking [A]whiskey to [G]get a[D]way


And [D]please don’t snort [A]cocaine to [G]numb your [D]mind


I’ll [G]do everything I can to always [D]be your ever loving [G]man


Be[D]cause there's nothing [A]else I [G]want to [A]find [D]

Re: "Human Frailty"

Thanks Kenny - All's well in the home front but I've written enough of the "all's well" type of songs and wanted to explore the other type of songs. Using a little creative license.

Re: "Human Frailty"

nice! i do indeed like the song, it is........different! lol i never thought that a song about love would have people in it snorting cocaine! great song anyway

How come we forget what we want to remember, and remember what we want to forget??

Re: "Human Frailty"

Thanks Music_guy - I kind of agree but I started it and, well it ended up the way it is.  I guess getting too much of someone is easier to get over than getting hooked on one thing or another. Hey, it's good song fodder I think but I will have to admit that it kind of took a turn while I was writing it that I didn't expect. I guess it’s all part of what I enjoy about writing songs.
