trying my hand at song writing
lyrics:
[C] If I could be anything I'd [G] be a praying mantis
[Am] A green monk for your [F] love
[Dm] Raptorial arms in an [Dsus2] eternal embrace
[Dm] My compound eyes multiplying the [Dsus2] beauty of you face
[C] If I could be anything I'd be [G] a praying man[C]tis
[C] If I could be anything I'd [G] be a fruit bat
[Am] If you were an Ebola virus I'd [F] carry your welcome mat
[Dm] We'd spread our reservoir of [Dsus2] viral love
[Dm] To all the different nations, a biological[Dsus2] boxing glove
[C] If I could be anything I'd be [G] a fruit [C] bat
[C] If I could be anything I'd [G] be a killer whale
[Am] you'd be my bipedal [F] holy grail
[C] Some say we're to different [G] but that ain't so
[Am] I'd bring you some cod for some [F] squid pro quo
[Dsus2] I'd protect you from my [Dm] pod
[Dsus2] and share my Posidion [Dm] gods
[C] If I could be anything I'd be [G] a killer [C] whale
[C] If I could be anything I'd [G] be a daffodil
[Am] In yellows and whites I'd be [F] dressed to kill
[C] *Beside the lake, [G] beneath the trees,
[Am] Fluttering and dancing [F] in the breeze
[Dm] Waiting for you to [Dsus2] decapitate me
[Dm] and take me home to [Dsus2] be your adoptee
[C] If I could be anything I'd be [G] a daffo[C]dil
[C] If I could be anything I'd [G] be just you
[Am] I'd take care of me when I [F] got the flu
[C] By me I mean the me that is [G] currently me
[Am] Not the me that is you if [F] me were the me/you
[Dm] But if I was the me/me [Dsus2] and you the you/you
[Dm] I'd still take care of you when you [Dsus2] got the flu
[C] If I could be anything I'd be [G] just [C] you...and me
*Note: "Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze" are lines I lifted from William Wordsworth's poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"
