Baby, I'm Back

New month, new song. Mostly, what I got is the lyrics, and back to the notion that the only things worth writing about are love and death. I'll work up some chords, and I'm looking for a progression between the verses and the chorus, something I've been hearing in my mind's ear for a long time, but never quite nailed it down. Maybe I'll get it this time.

Baby, I'm Back

G+D, D sus 4, C7, G+D

I. 

Ah, you know that love is great but it doesn't always work out/

Sometimes you get yourself left in the dirt/

Your heart is broke to pieces and you cry yourself an ocean/

And the world goes crazy gray and cold with hurt.

The days are full of misery, the nights are dark with woe/

the sky above is thick with clouds and rain/

But get your shit together, got to dig out of your grief/

Move yourself back into your life again.

Chorus:

G, D, C7, G

Baby, I'm back (I'm back!) and you know you done me wrong/

I'm back (I'm back!) and I got a brand new song/

I'm back (I'm back!) and you can't keep me low/

I'm movin' and a shakin' and everybody's gonna know.

II.

They say the past is gone and you know that it is true/

You wouldn't do it over if you could/

Got to look ahead at what's on the road before you/

Wipe the smoke out of your mind and call it good.

In the war between the sexes there's winners and there's losers/

You know that's how the game was made/

The battles are a bitch and the field can get all bloody/

And each and every one of us, we all get played.

Chorus

III.

The better part of life is just in showing up/

Gotta hit your marks and say your part/

The worst way to end it is to check out too early/

Sometimes you gotta use your head to lead your heart.

Gotta stay the course, don't get yourself distracted/

Don't spend your money drinking on a binge/

Go and buy some new clothes, and smile because you know it/

That living well is still the best revenge.

Chorus, repeat last line, slow it down, and out.
