To Be Sad

Liner Notes
@javakat343 wrote this song for a friend who suffered a horrific tragedy last year. I just played guitar on it.
Lyrics
GUITAR: Capo on 4th Fret
Am / Am7/G / D/F# / Dm7/F / E7 //
I came in with a joke and a smile, talked for a while,
Am / Am7/G / D/F# / Dm7/F / E7 //
Oh isn’t it such a glorious day, my sarcastic take
Dm / G /
I’m worried now, was my delivery too dry
C / C/B Am /
Has the message gone awry
Am/G F / E7 / Am
What I was trying to say
FM7 Am
You don’t have to feel anything I want you to
G C E7
But as your friend I do, want you to be sad
FM7 Am
Its the only way to let it out and through
E7
To feel your truth, and eventually with that
F E7 Am
Time will heal your pain
FM7 G E7 Am Dm
I’m not sorry if I made you cry, I’m sorry if I made you feel like you can’t
E7 //
2X Am / Am7/G / D/F# / Dm7/F / E7 //
OOWOO!!!
Dm / G /
I’m worried now, was my delivery too dry
C / C/B Am /
Has the message gone awry
Am/G F / E7 / Am
What I was trying to say
FM7 Am
You don’t have to feel anything I want you to
G C E7
But as your friend I do, want you to be sad
FM7 Am
Its the only way to let it out and through
E7
To feel your truth, and eventually with that
F E7 Am
Time will heal your pain
FM7 G E7 Am Dm I’m not sorry if I made you cry, I’m sorry if I made you feel like you can’t

Beautiful melody and vocal. I just love the chord choices, too. Excellent teamwork.

Amazing music, the emotion in the vocals just has me! This line really really got me misty “ I’m not sorry if I made you cry, I’m sorry if I made you feel like you can’t”

I was glued as soon as this track began. I seriously love this song. This is an instant classic to me. That chorus is brilliant and catchy! That vocal delivery the entire song was stunning! Perfection! Heartfelt! So much to love about the lyrics, couldn’t pick a favorite to dive into.

Brilliant and complete production. Exquisite vocals and heart-rending lyrics.”It’s the only way to let it out and through.” Effective message. Would that everyone had such a wise friend.
