Lyrics and music written June 2018
Recorded June-July 2018
I decided one day to write a song and woke up with the lyrics "I may look like an open book, but who's gonna wanna read me?" in my head and wrote the entire song based on that line. I also took the EP title from this song.
lyrics
Capo: 2nd fret
Verse 1
G C
How do you find a way (in a world)
Em D
Full of roads that lead out of sight?
G C
And can words help to describe
Em D
How to walk (in streets) where there's no light
C D
I'm not making up stories
C D
This is how I feel
C D
There's nothing left to unveil
Chorus
G Am
I may look like an open book
C D
but who is gonna wanna read me? oh oh
G Em
I'd like someone to care for, to be there for
C D
But who is ever gonna need me?
G D
And I sure ain't good literature
C D
Just pulp fiction of the fair
G D
I'm just a soul that you can't trust
C D G
Mixed up with affliction and despair
Verse 2
Even when life is sweet you
always find good reasons to be bitter
And sometimes literature seems
a whole lot more like litter
I'm not making up fiction
this is really real
C D Em
Just a banana opened peel by peel
Chorus 2
I may look like an open book
but who is gonna wanna read me? oh oh
I'd like someone to care for, to be there for
But who is ever gonna need me?
And I sure ain't good literature
Just kiosk novels, trash TV
I'm just a song that you can't trust
A melody sung awful, out of key
Chorus 3
I may look like an open book
but who is gonna wanna read me? oh oh
I'd like someone to care for, to be there for
But who is ever gonna need me?
And I sure ain't good literature
Just pulp fiction off the fair
I'm just a narrator that you can't trust
Mixed up with contradiction and despair
