Topic: I Have to Find Myself First

Hey guys, this is my latest song. It's about the strain of having to choose between two loves. Please let me know what you think. The verses are just two chords, but I play around with them quite a bit.

Thanks for looking.


I Have to Find Myself First

Verse 1
G                              Cadd9
I never thought I'd be here
G                           Cadd9
I thought I had it all planned out
G                             Cadd9
Until you walked into my life
G                             Cadd9
And shook my world all about

G Cadd9 Em7 Gsus2

Verse 2
G                         Cadd9
I told myself I was happy
G                              Cadd9
Maybe not thrilled but good enough
G                                 Cadd9
I knew I had a choice to make
G                                         Cadd9
When I saw the fire light your face up

Chorus
G
The world keeps spinning faster
Cadd9
My mind never clears
Em7
Got to take a risk
Gsus2
Or live and die in fear
G
Your eyes drive me wild
Cadd9
But hers are full of tears
Em7
How to choose a love
Gsus2
When both hearts need to hear
Cadd9
I have to find myself first

G Cadd9

Verse 3
G                              Cadd9
I wish time could stop counting
G                             Cadd9
Make it easy or skip ahead
G                             Cadd9
But the world doesn't grant you mercy
G                                  Cadd9
It strains your heart and pounds your head

Chorus

Bridge:
Em7                Gsus2
I'm headed the right way
Em7         Cadd9
I know it's true
Em7           Gsus2
I can't look back now
Em7              Cadd9
I'm here with you

Chorus

Good song. Captures all the emotion nicely. Any chance of hearing it played?

All I got, is a red guitar, three chords and the truth
