Original Song: You Wouldn’t Even Like Me
YOU WOULDN’T EVEN LIKE ME
© 2016 Chuck Smeeton
F
I thought that look was one of caring
A
But I realise now you were just staring
A#
Not even trying to see
B
What lies inside of me
I thought you might have been my friend
But you’ve left me nothing to defend
Devoid of all compassion
Devoured me in a fashion
(Chorus)
A# Dm
You wouldn’t even like me if I was the only one
A# Dm
You wouldn’t even like me for just a bit of fun
A# Dm
You wouldn’t even like me if you’d never had a drink
A# C
You wouldn’t even like me if you ever stopped to think
There was something in all the waiting
But all that’s left is just the hating
The stark reality
Doesn’t look so pretty
You’ve hidden everything up your sleeve
Maintained your focus to deceive
Another little game
Someone else to blame
(Chorus)
Dismantle the sorrow and the rage
It weren’t the same book let alone the same page
All those issues that you raised
All those lessons now erased
(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.
