Fmaj7 - Bb - Gm7 - C7
I was where I was, and now I am where I am.
I still wish I hadn't taken it so seriously.
I heard what I wanted to, and I said what I said,
Sleepwalking through the party deliriously.

Bb - Bb - Am7 - C7
Stories will sweep me up again.

It was all their fault. I was helpless at the helm.
Certain that the turbulence was external.
I was somehow better than, yet a constant victim,
Certain that this curse was eternal.

Self-pity will sweep me up again.

   Gm7 - C7 - Gm7 - C7 - Am7 - Bb
   I can only tread water so long
   Before I let myself become
   Food for the food,
   Part of the ocean.
   
Delusion will cataract my eyes again,
But I will see clearly again eventually.

My cover of The Beatles "Something" from their album "Abbey Road".

I've covered an innumerable amount of Beatles songs over the years, mostly in tiny coffee shops and at my parents behest at family functions. They are my favorite band of all time, because I'm a super unique white man, and this is one of George's best with the group.

(My New Year's resolution was to record 50 cover songs in 2017. Will post some of them here.)

Covers 2017

Something (The Beatles cover)

"Nothing's there" is the first demo release from singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist James Dickens. A full length record is coming later this year.

Nothing's There

Lyrics:

So fragile like a snowflake 
Hurtling towards the ground 
You caught me in the palm of your hand 
Never awake
When you weren’t around
You give me legs on which to stand

Suspended like a pendulum
Tied to your string
Moving with you side to side
Whatever life brings
We move together in stride
In any moment it’s with you that I’m beside

Whether it’s weeks, 
months, or years that I'm with you
Time enjoyed isn’t time wasted 
It’s something I’ll never willfully throw away 
But enough of the future
We’ve more time to waste today

Pendulum
