Liner Notes

My inner critic has been telling me to stop it lately. Based on this #silly #ukulele #folk song that popped into my head this evening, maybe they've got a point. I had the title and the straw gag, though, and so I couldn't not fill in the gaps.

I suppose there is a real point to this song if you look closely. It's an accident, but that's okay :). #fuc

Lyrics

(Tuned down a tone, so really in C)

[D][A][Bm][G]
[D][A][D]

[D]You [A]are my [Bm]every[G]thing
[D]That's what [G]people [A]say
[D]You [A]are my [Bm]every[G]thing
[D]Lean on [G]you every [A]day

[D]You [A]are my [Bm]every[G]thing
It's [D]corny [G]but it's [A]true
[D]You [A]are my [Bm]every[G]thing
How [D]I re[A]ly on [D]you

When I [G]married a shape[A]shifter I [F#m]didn't under[G]stand
[A]All that you could [D]do for me [G]when you took my [A]hand
[G]I took you for [A]granted, I [F#m]think that broke your [G]heart
You [D]really are my [G]everything, and [A]that tore us a[D]part

[D]You [A]are my [Bm]every[G]thing
Stopped [D]buying [G]things on[A]line
[D]You [A]are my [Bm]every[G]thing
Was [D]great that [G]you were [A]mine

[D]You [A]are my [Bm]every[G]thing
So [D]handy a[G]round the [A]home
[D]You [A]are my [Bm]every[G]thing
But [D]now I'm [A]so a[D]lone

[G]When we had that [A]party, I [F#m]could have been more [G]kind
More [A]guests than we could [D]handle, and [G]we were in a [A]bind
I'm [G]sorry that it [A]went so far that [F#m]you could take no [G]more
When they [D]drank the cocktails [G]from you, it [A]was the final [D]straw

And [D]now you're [A]not my [Bm]every[G]thing
But I [D]wish you [G]peace and [A]health
And I [D]hope you're [A]someone's [Bm]every[G]thing
Who [D]lets you [A]be your[D]self

I like it. Corny, yes, but in the best way.

After a rather typical love song start, you caught me off guard with the play on words. This song made me smile.

This has a soothing tone to it. Beautiful backing track and the vocals are a treat.
