Foolish You

So around this time last year, i started to teach myself how to play guitar, for about the first 3 months i was awful, but over the summer I managed to get much better, and finally I can now sing and play (quite the feat for me), so I decided to write a song and tab it out sorta. So here it is. It's called Foolish You.

Verse 1

[C] [Am]
We’d cross paths, crash hard
[Em] [G]
You turn there, and I’ll turn here
[C] [Am]
Steer clear, no fear
[Em] [G]
I’ll jump, and you can crawl
[C] [Am]
Don’t fall, too late
[Em] [G]
Where you headed, in this state
[C] [Am]
Fool me, fool you
[Em] [G]
You gotta way with words, yes you do

Chorus

[F]
And you’ll crush my suspense
[F#]
And you’ll destroy with intent
[A7]
To break all my rules
[Cadd9]
There’s nothing you won’t do

[F]
You’ll push me to the edge
[F#]
You’ll push me right off
[A7]
And laugh as I fall
[Cadd9]
you’re such a doll

Verse 2

[C] [Am]
I say no, you say please
[Em] [G]
Quit begging, get off your knees
[C] [Am]
I’m tired, I’m through
[Em] [G]
I’ve had enough of you
[C] [Am]
Chin up, look here
[Em] [G]
Please know, I don’t hate you dear
[C] [Am]
You’re blind, I’m deaf
[Em] [G]
What’re we going to do about this mess

Chorus

[F]
And you’ll crush my suspense
[F#]
And you’ll destroy with intent
[A7]
To break all my rules
[Cadd9]
There’s nothing you won’t do

[F]
You’ll push me to the edge
[F#]
You’ll push me right off
[A7]
And laugh as I fall
[Cadd9]
you’re such a doll

-end on [C]-

It's about 2:30 seconds long, and it's really simple, but I really enjoy playing it.

The random letters in brackets are chords! So any guitar players out there know what they mean :)

  1. this was a cool post, i would love to hear the music accompaniment with the words.
    what was the inspiration for this song?
    i think you did a great job, i know this is very common in most songs, but i liked your use of repitition, and i thouhgt it was really cool how you wrote what chords you used in the song.
    good post

  2. I really like how it paints a very vivid picture
    I particularly liked the second verse, it stood out to me.
    And including the chords was cool, I played through it out of curiousity of how the chord progression sounded, but it'd be much cooler to actually hear it (avec melody and stuff ya? ya.)
