Topic: I Don't Feel A Thing

Okay, here's a love gone wrong song. I had to dig from my way back file for this one.

I Don't Feel a Thing By Jeff Gilpin


March 29, 2007




Verse 1


[B]Baby since you been [A]gone


[E]I don’t feel a [B]thing


[b]Nothing’s changed in my [A]life you know


[E]I don’t feel a [B]thing


I [b]still wake up in the [A]same old bed


[E]I don’t feel a [B]thing


[B]Just as if [A]you were dead


[E]I don’t feel a [B]thing




Chorus 1


Because you [D]cut out my heart


And you [A]threw it away


[E]There’s nothing more to [B]say


Now [D]I don’t [A]feel a [E]thing


No I don’t feel a thing[B]




Verse 2


[B]I live and life just [A]passes me by


[E]I don’t feel a [B]thing


Like [B]color’s faded [A]from my eyes


[E]I don’t feel a [B]thing


[B]Days go by in an [A]endless stream


[E]I don’t feel a [B]thing


[B]Like I’m living a [A]dangerous dream


[E]I don’t feel a [B]thing




Chorus 2


Yeah, you [D]played your game



Then [A]said it was tough


[E]That you’d had [B]enough


Now [D]I don’t [A]feel a [E]thing


No I don’t feel a thing[B]




Break


[E]If you came back to me


Crawling on your [B]knees


[E]Begging me please, please, [B]please


I’d [D]look you in the eye


Then [A]I’d turn away


Every [E]dog has his day[B]




Verse 3


[B] starting over and [A]coming to life


[E]I don’t feel a [B]thing


[B]Couldn’t believe the [A]shape I was in


[E]I don’t feel a [B]thing


[B]Saw you on the [A]street today


[E]I don’t feel a [B]thing


I [B]shook my head and [A]turned away


[E]I don’t feel a [B]thing




Chorus 3


Well, I’m [D]over you now


Play with [A]someone new


[E]It’s gonna catch up to [B]you


And [D]I won’t [A]feel a [E]thing


I won’t feel a thing[B]

Re: I Don't Feel A Thing

Jeff, this is haunting and poignant stuff - powerful!  Your 'way-back file' is a good place to dig.


By way back do you mean this a song you wrote long ago, or is this based on memories from long ago?  Either way, this is a dandy portrait of emotional despair.  James

Re: I Don't Feel A Thing

This is really good stuff. I think maybe Smokey Robinson would mind haveing this one.
