This is a song I wrote a few years back that was originally named “My Straight Flush Draw”. I contemplated on whether to keep its name but thought a new title would better favour the true essence of the song.
Despite being sung and performed at numerous gigs over the last 3 years, I realised I haven’t uploaded the final product and shown you how the song has evolved into what it is today.
I hope you enjoy it!
Lyrics & Chords:
::Verse::
C7 D G
Give up the time to party
C7 D G
Give up the afternoon
Em D G
Cause I know you are somebody
C7 D G
That crashes with the moon
C7 D G
Give up on all your feelings
C7 D G
Give up on your beliefs
Em D G
Cause were here together dancing
C7 D G
Like flame and water, earth and breeze
::Chorus::
Em D G
You take me far where I dont want to go
Em D G
You find a way to make time pass so slow
Em D
You are the card that Im waiting for
C7 G
The queen of hearts, in my straight flush draw,
Em D G
Without you, I lose it all
::Verse 2::
Give up your mindless knowledge
Give up your poker face
Cause I see right through the coldness
To a beauty filled with grace
[Chorus]
::Bridge::
Am C D
Take back what you have told me
Am C D
Give up on even trying
Am C D
Dont say that you are sorry
Am C D
Cause when you stop searching you will find
[Chorus] x2
