Misc Originals – Bruce Knox - Directed By A Song (Guitar)

G       D/F#      Em
Sitting here in NYC

               C            D     C              D
Listening to a voice from a place I wish I could be

G               D/F#               Em
Watching people wander through the streets

                  C         D        C              D
Wishing there’s a person outside my friend I need to meet

     Cm                           G
He’s resting on the edge of far beyond

Cm                                G
Singing of a life where nothing’s wrong

Cm                            G       D/F#   Em
Optimistic lines of days just rolling on and on

      C                D          G        C
Oh if life could be directed by a song!

G                   D/F#           Em
I wonder where I’ll be in two more years

          C            D      C              D
While his tomorrow is blurred by my falling tears

   G                     D/F#            Em
A life that’s lived is a hard one to see pass

             C       D   C              D
Many answers missing for many questions asked

    Cm                                     G
The minor chords are strummed and set the tune

Cm                             G
Pulling out the sorrow and the ruin

Cm                           G         D/F#     Em
Pessimistic lines of days he knows are sure to come

    C             D           G       C
Oh, why is life directed by a song

G                D/F#               Em
Sitting here and now two years have passed

              C         D        C                 D
Still so many questions inside I wish I could have asked

   G              D/F#            Em
He sang his final song six months ago

              C            D     C              D
If only I had given him my time, maybe I’d have known

    Cm                             G
His melodies now fill my eyes with tears

      Cm                              G
Where laughter and joy once filled my ears   

    Cm                         G      D/F#  Em
The ending of his chorus is so wrong, oh so wrong

      C               D           Em
Oh if life could be directed by a song

        C                  D           Em
I would rewrite the chorus so we sing along

         C               D                  Em
And we’d all live on for years with nothing wrong

       C               D           Em
I wish life could be directed by a song

       C               D           G      C
I wish life could be directed by a song
