D G D C Bf G D F G C D Bf C F F# GShort beginning  version just         D G

D C Bf G D F G C D to G (first chord is song)

Gm

1. He says me I’m hard to live with----Now, there’s a  surprise.
   Eb

I’ve been living with myself a long time---you'd think I'd realize

F Gm

I’m not winning any awards—but I’m not -cutting any deals.

Eb F C Gm

Kind like a run down house— not much curb appeal.

2) He’s says I drive him crazy— and that's one short drive

The engine is still ice cold--- when we arrive

I might be hard to live with- but this house does have a door

And if you ain’t leaving then stop complaining about me --not loving you anymore.

F C

10. You thought you met someone who was wonderful
    Gm

You thought you met someone who was kind.

F C Gm

At least I speak in full sentences ---most of the time.

F C Gm

I don’t gamble, you don’t drink- so we're better than we think

F C D

I might be hard to live with- maybe— then he’s---- some kind of crazy

3) I can promise you the moon. I could wear your silly ring

I could love you with my whole black heart but you know I’ll always be

the bad one you fell for. The one your mother doesn’t like.

And I’ll always be the way I am so stay --or take a hike.

4) Yeah I’m hard to live with----That’s not news to me.

“Easy going” isn’t my middle name and it’s never going to be.

I’m not winning any awards but I'm not----- cutting any deals.

Kind like a run down house—not much curb appeal.

Chorus (No Riff) Solo: Bill / MIKE'S FAMOUS SOLO/ Daryl's solo

New songs for the Black Dog

Two new songs are ready to play at the Black Dog tomorrow evening. Dale has written a great tribute to his friend Bedford. It's called "Pete's Tune" so I'm no longer sure what Bedford's real name was.   We also have "Some Kind of Crazy" ready to debut.

Catch phrases

The words of a song are important but- truthfully- the audience only hears some of them unless they hear the song more than one time. No matter how well-crafted the lyrics are, only part of them get through. It's like writing a book than having people read only every other chapter.  Mike mentioned that repetition  in lyrics can be a good thing.  I tend to want to tell the whole story with a lot of words but having a strong catch phrase that people will really be able to hear will help draw the audience in to the song. Darn it- Mike is right again.

"Some sort of Crazy."

We've spent the last two rehearsals working on a new song called "Some sort of Crazy."  The idea for the song started with something Ric said. He commented on how his girlfriend thinks he is hard to live with and yes,  that is most likely true.   I wrote the song for Dale to sing-but then Dale has been busy and didn't have time to work on it. So, I rewrote the song so I could sing it.
