The Story of The House Mouse

Its a bit of a childish song but I like it anyway. I wrote this for one of my professor's kids.

Verses are C-E with a capo on the 5

House Mouse

The Mouse ate all my cheese
The Mouse was very me to me
That Mouse got into my clothes.
The Mouse is now ready for a show

The mouse is in my house (Am)
and he doesn't seem to want to leave (Bm)
No matter how I try (Em)
No matter how I cry (F-G-F-G)
He just doesn't want to leave. (Bm)

The mouse just brought all his friends
That mouse doesn't want this to end
Now the mice just run amuck
Those mice will soon run out of luck

The mouse is in my house
and he doesn't seem to want to leave
No matter how I try
No matter how I cry
He just doesn't want to leave.

The mouse drove me insane
The mouse caused me so much pane
That mouse is no longer pleased
Mr Mouse ate the wrong piece of cheese (hehe)

That mouse was in my house
and he didn't seem to want to leave
No matter how I tried
No matter how I cried
He just didn't want to leave

Now he gone forever
We shall never meet again
And the house feels quite alone
Without a mouse to call it home.

So Good Around You

I am locked inside this room
and I don't know what to do
All this time I've been alone
You left me standing on my own

But now that we're together
I still don't know what to do
Should I let things change
like you want them to

[C]
I don't understand this feeling
that I'm going through.
You're supposed to make me feel so blue
But right now, I feel so... good... around you.
I feel so good.

Yesterday in the park
We were talking until dark
I was so happy,
I didn't understand

Then we went back to your place
And you gave me a warm embrace
What could I do?
I was so confused

[C]
I don't understand this feeling
that I'm going through.
You're supposed to make me feel so blue
But right now, I feel so... good... around you.
I feel so good.

I sleep every night
Dreaming of you and me
Thinking we were
Meant to be

But I know we won't last forever
Because forever is way too long

[C]
I don't understand this feeling
that I'm going through.
You're supposed to make me feel so blue
But right now, I feel so... good... around you.
I feel so good.

Depression

Depression hurts, or at least I think it does. I don't know why, but this song seems to be very sad. I didn't intend to write like this but I was up at 1 so I really can't blame the pen.

I needed some inspiration
Something to write down
and I tried
to see if anyone around
could help me

I needed someone different
in my little train of thought (choo choo, hehe)
a new face, a new lie
a new thought to be

[C]
What was left of all this?
Why does nothing change?
This room is empty
These thoughts are blank
~but I can see my...
dreams.~ (x2)

I needed some change
a scenery of colors I've
never, seen before
of lights and darks
to lay out on the floor

I needed a beginning
to morph this end
a little of this and
a little of that
and you, can see me friend

[C]

[Bridge]
The nightmare that left me
in the dark
has shaken this feeling
that has sparked
a long, long time ago
when things were what they were
and people were what they wanted
to be
and I could be
me. but

A Ukelele Song (D-A-G-D)

With a cool new uke, I figured a simple song would be good to start out with.

D-A-G-D (A uke track)

I've got nothing to hide
This friendship is no disguise
My true feelings
Are on the surface.

And the way you make me feel
When I'm behind your steering wheel
Let's me know
Our true purpose.

But I'll keep that for later
Because there's nothing greater
Than exactly
What the truth is.
