Be a Change - WIP of a commission. SO MANY CHORDS (Patreon)

I was about halfway through writing this and feeling like I'm a musical idiot who can't execute on their ideas. BUT THEN I kept working at it and It's getting there. I'm going to re-do all the vocals, but ooooooh these chords are tasty. Only 4 minutes? what even.

Also the ending isn't done. SO FORGIVE ME.

Lyrics (also subject to change, and not recorded as written here)

Who do you want? What do they act like?

Are they now, or have they ever been a 

perpetrator of flirting?

Give us a picture. Do they meet the description?

If they match this simple numbered test,

we can approve your attraction

Em7 A D9

Takin’ a moment. Takin’ a break, see those reflections

  Em7 A   D9  B

Shaking off the cobwebs spun by self-made decency police

Em A D9   B6, G7/F

and now he’s getting word that certain nipples may offend

E7

Under a microscope. In a compactor.

And in the last 10 years, they been burning like a fission reactor

Chorus:

 A  GM7+9

Did he miss it? The chance to make it his business?

D/F#   Dm6/F

Seein’ the light that’s coming out here is beautiful

E7+4 (no 3rd)   A

and we can all strengthen its beam.

Db7/F F#m Db7/F F#m G 

Where it started doesn’t have to be the paradigm, no

Faug+4 A/E A/F# B

He’d have never left if he’d known that there was

D/E    A

going to be a change.

D A A6    Eb(dim7)

He’d have never left if he’d known that there was

D    D/E  A

going to be a change.

G7(sus4)

Runnin’ from the 90s and the one transparent box that must

CM7

contain the inner strain and each new conversation locks it

F(sus4) Bb7(sus4)

tighter in towards the center, quiet, knowing it will burst

E(dim7) Eb D

and would you look at the mess that it made.

Dm G7 CM7  Am7

Bringing what he had, he was accepted. Seems that the

Dm G7 CM7 Asus2-A

keeper of the gates had fallen ill or been deposed

Dm7 G7  C G/B Am C/G

and how the good vibrations shake up every finer point

Dm D D/E

Are you a dancer? Are you a Poet? Can you be rapt into inhuman 

E

experience and will you seed and grow it?

Alt Chorus Lines: (Starts with Fake F# keychange setup)

 

He’d have never paid if he’d known that I would 

fake a key change
