"Slowly Burning Memory" by Michael Paul
Another song I wrote, will add the link to a youtube video later, since I tried some new stuff with the
strumming.

[Intro]
Am
 
E G Am Dm E Am
-humming-
 
Am
 
[Verse 1]
 
G       Am
orange, compared to which
E                A
everything seems gray
G                 Am
green leaves fall onto a ground
E                       A
where for me there is no way
G            Am
The turqoise waves below
     E               A
the sky makes them melt my skin
G                    Am
Sharp cliffs glaring fierce, and their
E             A
foaming arms; welcoming
 
[Chorus]
 
Am                       Em*
The vision I had in that dream
Dm         Am7
That place I saw,
            F
such lovely shapes
          Dm
a warm sunrise
             Am7
and under my feet
              F
the wet deep cyan grass
               E
the sweet wind whispering that I will not
G             A
return to the place
Dm              E
with the tangerine sky
E                Am
though all I wanted was to say goodbye
E                     C
you never give me the chance
 
[Verse 2]
 
G               Am
Fuck I miss the days I had,
E                A
not knowing what would come
G                Am
my own stupidity the cause
E                Dm
that day, a poison's violet
 
G               Am
Take me back to better days
E                 A
I warmly remember shaded pink
G                 Am
now that time is blurred away
E7                C
Your silent ghost remains
 
[Chorus]
              Am7
and, under my feet
                        Dm
bitter slowly burning memory of
         F
wet deep cyan grass
           Em               A*
the sweet wind whispering that I will not
            Am*
that I will not
             Am
that I will; not
Em
return
       Am
to the place
A                E
with the burning orange sky
Em               Am
cause it seems too much to ask for
Dm                        A
it seems too much to ask for
 
[Verse 3]
 
Em               Am
Take me back to better days
E                 A
I warmly remember shaded pink
Em               Am
now that time is burned away
E                Am
only ashes and smoke remain
