Chords down below!

Thought I would post this song on my channel too. This took me about 1 week to write. I think it's my best song I've ever done, and I plan to do more like it. I want to thank P1K for doing pretty much everything on this song. He was an amazing vocal coach and I don't think this track would have been as good if it wasn't for his help. So I wrote the song, sang and played guitar, while P1K did everything else.

Lyrics:

There are tears in my eyes
But you don't seem to mind
You've been out there all day
Just bucking those trees
And the rest of your life away

You don't need to hide
You can ask me anytime
I'm willing to give up my time for you
As long as I can see you smile

You know that I could never lie to you

Honestly
Why can't you see
That I think you mean the world to me
I don't see
Why I can't be the one
Who takes you home
Tonight

Strong as they come
And dependable too
There's nothing else that I would rather be doing
Than chasing after you

I'm so close to you
Yet so far away
Oh what I wouldn't give to stand next to you
If only for a day

I know that you will be completely honest with me

Honestly
Why can't you see
That you mean the world to me
Truthfully
I just want to be the one
To take you home
Tonight

I must be kidding myself to actually think
That you'd ever think 'bout a guy like me
These words like a river flow naturally
You're the reason why I sing

Honestly
Why can't you see
That you mean the world to me
Truthfully
I just want to be the one
To take you home

Honestly
Its hard to think
That you could ever love a guy like me
Set my heart free
By letting me be the one that takes you home
I just want to take you home
Tonight
