Day 23 - Resolution

And we're at Day Twenty Three - only a week left! Today, the challenge was for partially alliterative lyrics. Lovely little lightbulb, Lee. Haha. I'm terrible at it. As such, the aforementioned alliteration is pretty much constrained to the chorus, unfortunately. The song also takes a bit of a cue from something you see a lot of around this time - New Years' resolutions. And they often seem to be quite similar to ones made about 365 days ago.... Also, I like the little riff idea I came up with using the open strings. Hope you enjoy :) Lyrics below, video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeRWI2WtXH0

Resolution

V1: / Em / A2 / G // Em / G / A2 // x2
Will you give up smoking?
Give up fat?
Give up sugar,
Or your thirteenth cat?
Lose a few kilos,
Find yourself a wife,
Run three miles a day
Or get a life

C: / Em / G / A2 / C / x4
Resolution remade, returned
Restrict yourself
Resolution replayed, redone
Remake yourself

V2:
One big decision
To shape your year
Then lots of little ones
To keep you in the clear
Compromise and
Life’s surprises
Always seem to take you
Back where you started

C + I

B: / Em / G / Asus4 // x4
The solution is not
To just give up
Or keep trying harder and harder
Realise you’re human
Cut yourself some slack
But keep your focus clear

C x2
