Write That Song! The Movielife Edition

Post by Scott » Sun Jan 17, 2010 7:55 pm

This may not be a good challenge for those who have heard the song, but if you know it write your own version. Here's the beginning and the chorus of the Movielife song "Hey." Try it out and come up with your own version and show us!

Code: Select all

A                              E 
Hey, I guess I'll figure it out
F#m7
The reasons why things went the way they did
D	 
And why we can't accept it
A	E
We'd fall asleep, 
F#m7      E
but not before we exorcised the evil thing that everyone hides
D	E	F#m7
We would lie there in my bed,
D	 E	            A
Do you remember all those nights we never slept
E    D           E	                    A                  F#m7	               D
No clothes, sweaty, doing all the things I never thought I'd do
E                               A
And I did them with you
I tried to line up all the chords with the song correctly. Try this out, and if you're wondering
F#m7 is 242222 (EADGBE). Let's here what you got!
Self-inflicted or not, I find myself on the farthest star, foreign to everything like I woke up with a German tongue.

You gotta record it! Don't listen to the original song if you can help it.
