Thats Why I Gave Up On Music

Will Stetson


Tom: Am

F                 G
Thought out but logic isn’t clicking
Am
That sky when I longed to have you with me
F                       G
Tired breezes singing sweetly,
Am
As my mind it comes alive and flies freely, hey
F                   G
Going forward oh, where will it take me?
Am
Everything it just leaves me helplessly
F                 G
Looking at me, smiling
Am
As I turned away and didn’t say a thing

[Verse 1]
  F               G
Thought out but logic isn’t clicking
Am
Our youth is dull amount to nothing
F                 G
Giving up on the piano,
Am
but the sickening beat, had taken over me, hey
F         G
And on oh where oh will it take me?
Am                                        F   G
Far from all of the music you’re making?
Am
Go on living happily


[Pre-Chorus]
   C         F          G              Am
Pizzicato strings that sing I pluck a heart-made melody
Dm7                                    C
Long without me they never lose beat, when they’re out of reach ever fondly
F       E7
Oh I, carry their light


[Chorus]
          F                   G
And I’ll never know, I don’t care to know
        Em            Am
Just go on and let go
             Dm7                           G                       C                 Am
All of this “love” for your life, for the world and the sky, they cry, while never knowing why
               F                  G
They want to know, be told down where to go
            Em            Am
But that’s just how life flows
           F          G
It’s your fault that, I couldn’t say so

[Verse 2]
  F               G
Thought out but logic isn’t clicking
Am
Forced now to face the future I’m resisting
F                 G
“I’ll fade on to nothing,”
Am
and the stinging in my chest it burns right on to the ending
F           G
“Where am I headed in the future?”
Am                                        F   G
Growing up I can’t speak up a single word
Am
Stuck in frozen terms


[Pre-Chorus]

       C   F          G            Am
How do I explain the hate I feel watching that happy face?
Dm7                                    C
What do they have that’s missing? Stuck there on the side I’m watching--a ghost
F                        E7
I follow every step but still don’t know


[Chorus]
          F                   G
I’m not wrong to live! And in spite of this
         Em            Am
We still all are human
          Dm7                           G                     C                 Am
Lacking “love” for your life, for the world and the sky, you cry, while never knowing why
               F                  G
That painful sting when you’re listening
         Em            Am
Is just proof you’re living
            F            G
Not that I care though, all just your whim

[Bridge]
  F              G
Thought out but logic isn’t clicking
Am
Why does it hurt to keep on breathing on and living?
F                      G
Why can’t you make a living writing music?
Am
It’s fine if all the words I write are useless
F    G     Am
            F          G   Am
Not like I care though
F      G      Am
          F                  G      Am
Yeah I’m sure I wasn’t wrong
          F                  G      Am
Yeah I’m sure I wasn’t wrong…
          F*                  G*      Am*
And I swear I wasn’t wrong…
          F*                  G*      Am*

[Chorus]
          F*                   G*
Yeah the fault was mine, all through my life
    Em               Am
I couldn’t read the signs
             Dm7                            G                       C    A
All of this “love” for your life, for the world and the sky, they cry, I couldn’t tell you why
               F                  G
They want to know, be told down where to go
            Em            Am
But that’s just how life flows
           F          G
It’s your fault that, I couldn’t say so


[Interlude]
F  G   Am  Em  F  G  Am
Aaaahhhhhhhhhh
F  G   Am  Em  F  G  Am


[Outro]
F                 G
There was once a time I dreamed too
Am                         Em
Now the feelings have all broke through misuse
F                    G
So long that I had written for you
   Am                                                     F    G
I don’t really care about the fame, you know my love was true
  Am        Em
I felt it, more than I knew
F          G                       Am
   That’s how I had felt then too
                F            G   Am   Em
That’s why I’m done with it
                F
That’s why I’m done with it
G
All my notes
Am
Died with you
