\"\"<\/a>This is definitely version 1.0. I want to make a lot of things better, but I’ve been working on this song so long, I needed a way to ritualistically “let it go,” mentally “get it off my desk” as it were, so I can work on other songs. Funny thing. I never was satisfied with this song, more the way it sounded, the production quality. And I hadn’t listened to it in a while. So I recently put my iPhone on Shuffle, a John Mayer song popped up, then a Ravel number, and then this, one of the earlier versions I did, and I thought, “Hey, it kind of holds its own in sound quality to those.” I liked it. Whenever you’re working on a song, it’s like you have to get some emotional distance from it, in order to hear it objectively. I thought it was good. I want to eventually dig into the individual tracks and make some little things better, but overall, I thought it fit in and held it’s own as it is, against some other music that I have a lot of respect for.<\/p>\n

(V1)<\/p>\n

Oh honey, oh dear,
\nWhatcha\u2019 been doin\u2019
\nSince you been here?<\/p>\n

You like sunny
\nEyes blue as the sea
\nTell me stories so funny
\nSo I can laugh and sing<\/p>\n

It\u2019s cold and it\u2019s snowin\u2019
\nWe gotta chance to be free
\nThere\u2019s a fire that\u2019s still glowin\u2019
\nOn the inside of me<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll drink from the bottle
\nVintage Pouilly Fouisse
\nWe\u2019ll swim through the oceans
\nAnd dance in the valley<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nOver the hills and into the trees
\nRiding so high, feeling so free
\nDon\u2019t turn around I want you to see
\nJust what you mean to me.<\/p>\n

(V2)<\/p>\n

Mountains covered with sunshine
\nHills covered in snow
\nWind singing like angels
\nSinging things we should know<\/p>\n

I wanna take you forever
\nI wanna take you to sea
\nRound \u2019bout like the angels
\nFilled with harmony<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be so funny
\nIt\u2019ll be so clear
\nWhen we\u2019re walkin\u2019 on Sunshine
\nWhen we\u2019re walkin\u2019 on air<\/p>\n

Chorus 2.<\/p>\n

Solo. (Over 2 Bars of Verse Chords and a full Chorus)<\/p>\n

(Verse 3)<\/p>\n

You\u2019re so funny
\nYou\u2019re so sweet
\nLips like honey
\nEyes like the sea.<\/p>\n

Oh honey, oh dear
\nWhatcha\u2019 been doin\u2019
\nSince you been here?<\/p>\n
