A While (away from Messina) - Original Song

(Sound's quite low- so high volume/headphones recommended)
Another songwriting attempt. How successful? You decide! Still Lolilo based but... actually for people like me who aren't as okay about it being over as they're letting on, really. Also a try-out for how things look and sound when filmed on my new phone :)
Hope everyone had a really happy christmas x

Lyrics/chords:
(Ukulele capo on 1st fret)

C G AM
This January’s getting cold
F G
You miss those sweet new Zealand summer laughs
C
That came a while
F AM
To bring a merry note to paper days
C G
And make the world a comedy
F G7
For a while.

C G AM
My tumblr dash is getting empty
F G
You miss that dysfunctional family way
C
We had a while.
F Am
The ultimate procrastination tool
C G
That said I’m here and I care too
F G7
For a while.



AM
And when you’re a lovely loser
C C
With not much to do
AM D
Sometimes wasting candles is
C F
all that can get you through but
C AM
it’ll be okay
F G
one - bright summer day
AM F G7
you won’t need the words to hold your hand.

(PAUSE)
C F
Though they’ll- always be a great big something
G G
That helped you understand
Am
The way to be.
G
(or - not to be a tragedy)
C
For a while.


C G AM
My imagination echoes strangely
F G
With kiwi accents, songs and complex friends
C
Who for a while
F AM
Glowed bright as stars that dance
C G
Messed up and loved and shared with us
F G7
For a while
C
For a while
