about

Here's one using my time-tested method of finding a metaphor and riding it like a rented mule off into the sunset! Actually, I like this one a lot. For some reason the chords are here with the lyrics, so if you want to play along, be my guest.

lyrics

END OF STORY
D D/C#
Well if it was just up to me, I wouldn’t write a tragedy
D/B Bb6
That wasn’t my intention, not at all
D D/C#
But now it’s come the deadline day, and all my good words swept away
D/B Bb6
As from the skies the typewriters fall
Em A Em A
I know you’ll want to tell me all the times that I screwed up
Em A G A
And then we’ll sit together and we’ll drink the poison cup

D D/C# D/B D/A
And you say end of story, end of story, end of story, end of story
G A G A
You know it makes me crazy, girl, to see it go this way
D D/C# D/B D/A
But you say end of story, end of story, end of story, end of story
G A
Don’t give up on this one now,
G A Cmaj7
There’s so much more our book was gonna say


You closed the cover on our dreams, I don’t know why or what it means
It seems somehow the plot just fell apart
But is that really all my fault, I thought we were the team
That turned collaboration to an art
I’ve been around enough to read the writing on the wall
But still I just don’t understand, I thought we had it all (CHS)
(SOLO OVER G A Cmaj7)

Now here on the hillside and our book’s all torn to bits
The tattered pages whirling round our heads
I never thought our epilogue would turn out sad as this
Let’s write a different denouement instead
I used to think romances were so corny and uncool
But when I looked into your eyes, you made them all come true(CHS, END)

about

Beowulf Kingsley Grass Lake Charter Township, Michigan

Todd was here before. Perhaps you recognize him from back then. He looked different then, though. If you think he owes you any money, he was probably some other guy. Those other guys are gone now. We think they may be in Guam, or possibly Kansas.
