As We Are

When you get to the end of this song, you will know why I wrote it. I have the great fortune and pleasure of having the most amazing woman I could ever imagine in my life. This song celebrates her and gives a nod to the far flung things on her mind. Her pursuit of knowing is boundless and that, in itself is fun.

Musically, the song is soft and I used the Red Rickenbacker 360/12 for the chiming riff throughout. Good sound!

As We Are

(F9) C F9 C F9 C G

C                 Em                   Am                G
Some say all exists only in mind
C                Em                        Am            G
Some say all things take place in one time
Dm                        F
Some say there is nothing real
G                        G7            C            F9            C            G
Some say everything is ideal

I say my life is all on display
I say time pulls tomorrow to today
I say illusion is grand
I say we all sit by God’s hand

You say we are more than we can see
You say there is more that we all can be
You say we are only light
You say I will, I won’t, I might C C7

Am                        F
All of this may well be true
G                  G7                           C            C7
All of this is reason to be with you
F               G
All of this brings a million smiles
C                   Am                 Dm F   G   F G7
May all of this last a thousand whiles

You are forever beautiful to me
Your laugh, your smile, your warmth and your mind
Because we hold us in our hearts
We are one in two parts.

Stay the same, keep changing too
Oh, Lover of mine
For I am thrilled to be with you
And be your Valentine Dm F G F
G7 C (F9 C) x 4
