A Time to Write a Song

This was a rather awkward song I wrote when I first started writing songs.  The chord progression is rather funny because  I wasn't used to composing them.  It has a kind of obscure message, partly because of the former reasons.  Ironically, the song is titled " A Time to Write a Song".  I performed it on Facebook in a video some months back. It is written in D major and the tempo is my signature picking pattern:


A Time to Write a Song

 D                     G
the things you tell yourself

Em                                  Bm
better make sure they're true

Em                          F#m
there was never a false man

A                          D
whoever denied himself

D                                 Em
lasting moments are for those

           A                           D
who live in somebody else



G                                          Em
take some time to tell a stranger

A                                                D
who will tell you the truth for free

F#m                                          Em
things come around and you deceive yourself

A
feeling the pain in many different ways




refrain:

D                                                 A
there's never gonna be another time like this

Em                         A
a time to write a song



D                  Em                    D
temples are built by people who keep time

D            Em                      A
time is spent while they take their time

A                Em
too many men have fallen

A                                      D
keeping time without a purpose


(refrain)


The key here is "time" I think lol!    It's esoteric, but then I can be at times, so it's typical and real.
I hope you play it and enjoy it. Please be gentle.  I plan to copyright all of these tunes at some later date.
