I wrote this song while peeing right before the turning of the year. I think I was trying to be Gerry Goffin. But I, of course, am not Gerry Goffin.
lyrics
Capo: 2nd Fret
Verse 1
C F
You said you be mine ‘til the end of time
G C
now I feel rejected
C Am
I said I’d be good like I know I should
F G C
but things never go as expected
C F
You said it’d be alright, you said you’d stay all night
G C
but now I just feel like a freak
C F
You said you’d be mine ‘til the end of time
E/F G C
but you were barely mine for a week
Verse 2
You said you’d be mine ‘til the end of time
but you’ll leave sometime tomorrow
You made me a boy so full of joy
now I’m a man that’s filled with sorrow
You made me feel so strong for so long
but now I feel so weak
You said you’d be mine ‘til the end of time
but you were barely mine for a week
Verse 3
You said you’d be mine ‘til the end of time
but now you’re gone away
You said it’d be better if we were together
but you couldn’t stay another day
I found you in a book in which I wasn’t looking
cuz I didn’t know what to seek
You said you’d be mine ‘til the end of time
but you were barely mine for a week
