Liner Notes

A ditty about trying to forget the last song I wrote for FAWM so I can write the next one:)

Lyrics

Getting Rid of You
CAPO 7

D A Bm G
The hardest thing / Is getting rid of you
D A Bm G
You’re that wicked ear-worm / The dog shit on my shoe
D A Bm G
That red wine on my white top /Skunk scent in the air
D A Bm G
Dry skin in the wintertime / Bubble gum in my hair
D A Bm G
I try and try / But no matter what I do
D A G D
I can’t get rid of you

A G D
Every day I wake up / You’re the first thing in my head
A G D
I try in vain to tune you out / I wanna crawl back in bed
Bm G
You’re everywhere I turn / It’s making me so blue
D A G D
I can’t get rid of you

Repeat chorus
Verse 2
A G D
I must be going crazy / I can’t turn of my brain
A G D
It’s harshin’ my mellow / It’s driving me insane
Bm G
I think I’ve got the “itis” / And a nasty virus too
D A G D
I can’t get rid of you

Bridge
Maybe deep down I don’t feel like I’m good enough
Like you’re the best I could ever do
When we started out I had my questions and my doubts
How did I ever fall so in love with you

solo

Stomp/clap chorus

I love songs about songs. "I can't turn off my brain" - the struggle is real! After hitting 14 songs yesterday, the first thing I did was go back and make "just one more tweak" to two of them. I like how you turned the struggle into a catchy little ditty.

OMG I have been having this issue every day this month! Brilliant take... anyone without the context would think it's about a really icky ex. Hahaha. The bridge lyrics are my favorite!!!! Love the melody and energetic guitar. How did you get the stomp/clap part to sound so slick?

I love the theme. You nailed the examples of everyday things that suck. This is super catchy and enjoyable. I love it!

This is the second song I have listened to from you where the lyrics are so wonderfully ambiguous. Your story is plausible but the result is that someone could listen to it and think of any entirely different story. Really great storytelling.
