I talk to you, you talk to me
And in my heart I've been set free ~ Shannon Lyon

...then curl up by the fire and sleep for awhile,
it's the grooviest thing, it's the perfect dream ~ The Cure

Keep it simple

 First one I wrote.. Kind of up-tempo country.

 Own Right Mind     Josh, Dwyer

G,Em,C,Am
G,Em,C,Dm

G                   Em
Why do you find it such a waste of time,
C                    A
Of how I feel in my Own Right mind.
G                    Em
I'm sick of all these lies you say,
C                    D
I try not to hear them anyways.

Now that you've had your fun,
Its my time to think.
Is it true that  you like me,
Is that what I should think

Bridge:

G                   Em
When I see what you said isn't true,
C                   A           
Should I sit around and take it,
D
Or tell you the truth?

Chorus:

G                Em
I feel that your blocking me out,
C                      A
'Cuz you don't seem to hear what I say.
G                 Em
Your leaveing me sitting in the shade,
C                 D
With a line thats corney and aged.
C-
Well I've heard them all!
Am
Excuses that'll make me fall!
D             C
But I still wish you were mine,
G
In my Own Right Mind.

(Riff from "All I Need") X1

I can't seem to find the reason why,
I feel the way I do.
I seem to be wrapped around you,
but you can't seem to hear me through.

You must know by now I like you,
You've been told many times before.
But I wish you'd listen to me,
Before you run right through that door!

Bridge:

G                   C
I now know that you lied to me,
Em                                  C
When you talked about your boyfriend ;home
C               A              D
I'm just dissappointed you woulden't answer no!

Chorus:

I used to feel you lied to me,
To make me feel uncerten and sad.
But now I know you said that,
So I woulden't get uspet.
You say its out of heart!
I say its all in time!
But I still wish you were mine,
In my Own Right Mind.

Solo Fiddle/ Mando - "Red Haired Boy"

We're sittin around the fire at night,
Haveing fun takeing pictures of sights.
I'm sitting here hopeing you'll talk to me,
But bad luck seems to leave me a-flight.

The end of summer seems to come to fast,
When I want to be with you.
I'll miss you dureing the winter,
And I hope you'll miss me too!

G,Em,c,Am
G,Em,C,Dm

Chorus:

I knew someday you come through to me,
and the truth would spill out of you.
I'm happy you told me about your lines,
and you started to treat me true.
Well you hugged me with a smile!
So I thought that this was worth-while!
But I still wish you were mine,
In my Own Right Mind.
Yeah I'll always want you as mine,
In my Own Right Mind.

Summer Memories

3;4 time (Waltz)

G              D      C        A
Around about midnight by the campfire,
G               D          C
Lost in my thoughts about you.
G                D           C             A
Its a beautiful night with a star covered sky,
G                   D           C
And I'm waiting to tell you the truth.

Pre-Chorus:

Em        C          G               D         
Oh but I can't ever find the right words,
Em               G           D Dsus4
My tongue gets tied every time.
G                   D         C     A               
I Don't think I'm luckey enough anyway,
G                    D          C
But I'll still keep you in my mind.

I always have my thoughts bottled up inside,
So many I want you to know.
But I don't think they're much of a secret anymore,
Think you've already been told.

Pre-Chorus:

Oh, wish you'd just tell me out straight,
On how you feel about me.
And if you say no I'll still have what I have,
Nothing lost; nothing gain.

Chorus:

G         D            C
Do you remember the times?
G          D            C
Even the ones when we cried?
G                 D       C    A
Or are they all just my own memories,
G              D      C
From oh, the summer time.

Bridge:

G            D            C
Was there a time in our lives,
Em                 C     G         
That you felt the way I do.
G         D    C
Did you ever sigh,
Em                  c       G
When you thought about me too?

Next day at the beach we're haveing some fun,
Laughing and carryin on.
If only you knew what went through my head,
Thoughts just come one after one.

Pre-Chorus
       
Oh but I can't ever find the right words,
My tongue gets tied every time.               
I Don't think I'm luckey enough anyway,
But I'll still keep you in my mind.
But I'll still keep you in my mind.

What You Don't know (Duet)

Intro:
G

G                D
Well you take me for a fool,
C              A
Don't believe what I can do.
G                D
You seem to take every word I say,
C             D
And Pretend it means nothing to you.

You try to agravate me,
So I won't love you anymore.
Well I'll love you either way,
I told you it won't help before.

Bridge:

Em               C
Why do I find it hard to believe,
G                D
Everything you say is true.
Em              C
You say your not the one for me,
G                D
But how am I supposed to trust you?
Em
I know you don't love me,
C
The way I love you,
G
But theres nothing I can do,
A                 D
so I you'd say I love you too.

Chorus:

G       D
I don't even care,
C                    A
What you want to say or do.
G         D
You don't even know,
C        D
How much I love you.
G
Theres more to life than this,
A
But theres one thing I miss.
G                  D
And thats being with you,
C                            D 
Thats one of the things that wish you knew .

(Second Verse Setting, Different Singer)

I didn't see this comeing,
On the day that we met.
I though we'd just be good friends,
But this isn't what I meant.

Tell me everything,
That I want to know.
Tell me if you love me,
Or if you saying it for show.

(Back to me)
I love you deep inside,
You shoulden't have to be told.
I made the hints so obvious,
Hopeing you would know.
You Can't deny I love you,
Can't play stupid anymore.
Can't give me more lines,
Can't lie to me anymore.
 
Instrumental Solo:

Chorus

Well you like to play stupid,
Thinking I'll give up.
You clearly underestimate me,
Thinking that'll be enough.

End Chorus:

I don't even care,                     
What you want to say or do.
You don't even know,
How much I love you.
Theres so much you don't know about me,
So much to learn,
Take the time and try it,
So we can be togeather!

Chorus

Why should I try so hard,
Nobody knows why.
Maybe because I love her,
Will that make them cry?
Don't take this the wrong way,
We're togeather in my heart.
I just wish no more waiting,
Would happen in my part!
Yeah your breaking my heart!
Oh yeah, your breaking my heart!
Oh Yeah... Your Breaking... My heart

G                 
I Can't find words to discribe it,
D
Life seems to be to unfair.
A
It'll pick you up and throw you down,
E
Before you have a chance to be scared.

G
I can't even sleep at night,
D
Before I start to think.
A
Why is it that you can't be mine,
Em
When I really want you inside.

Pre-Chorus:

G
Why do I try so hard,
D
A chance might come 'round someday.
A
But it doesn't come,
E
Its no ones fault,
D
There is no one to blame.

Chorus:

G
But I Guess you could say, Sadly inside,
D
We Wern't meant to be.
A
I bet it would happen,
E
If it wasn't my dream.
G
Theres only one problem with this,
A
You make me happy.
Am
But I guess you say,
Em
We Still wern't meant to be.
Am
But I guess you could say,
Em
We still wern't meant to be.

I'm happy every time I see you,
Sad every time you leave.
But you can't help the difference,
Of whats in my mind no matter where you'll be.

I always want to be with you,
But you don't want ot be with me.
You can say or do anything you want,
But that won't put my mind at ease.

Solo: Mando

A chance might some 'round someday.
A

You make me happy.
But I guess you say,
We Still wern't meant to be.
Am
But I guess you could say,
Em
We still wern't meant to be.

Well even though you don't like me,
I never plan to let go.
You can try, try and try again,
But thats not gonna help anymore.

I Can't find words to discribe it,
Life seems to be to unfair.
It'll pick you up and throw you down,
Before you have a chance to be scared.

Pre-Chorus:

G
I'll always try my hardest,
D
To somehow hold on to you.
A
Its not happened yet,
E
But the time will come soon.

Chorus

But I Guess you could say, Sadly inside,
We Wern't meant to be.
I bet it would happen,
If it wasn't my dream.
Theres a problem with this,
You make me happy.
But I guess you say,
We Still wern't meant to be.
Am
But I guess you could say,
Em
We still wern't meant to be.
