Original Song: Seemed Like A Good Idea
SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA
© 2016 Chuck Smeeton
G
Climbing just a bit too high
A#
Thinking that you could still fly
G
That weird thing that you had to buy
C A# G
It seemed like a good idea (at the time)
Girls who were just too much fun
Staying too long in the sun
All those crazy things you’ve done
It seemed like a good idea (at the time)
(Chorus)
A#
Choices made with no regret
F
It seemed like a good idea (at the time)
A#
Mistakes that you’ll soon forget
F D# A#
It seemed like a good idea (at the time)
Choosing three instead of seven
Putting all your faith in heaven
Turning amps up to 11
It seemed like a good idea (at the time)
(Chorus)
About the original songs
In January 2012 I commenced a goal of trying to write and record at least one song from scratch each month – sometimes it comes easily, sometimes it’s a real challenge, but I love the discipline it creates. I managed to complete the year, but it was so much fun that I’ve decided to keep it rolling for as long as I can.
