Deep Thoughts - A Song

Deep thoughts

Look, I’m getting older, I’m growing wise

I’m stepping out and taking risks

No need to apologise, to eulogise.

I try, yes I try

Thought I was mature

Confident, even demure.

This comes as a surprise, is all I can surmise…

Chorus:

Oh, I want to have deep thoughts

Profound and neat thoughts

Wide awake, three a.m. thoughts.

Yes I want to be replete with thoughts

Have the come and seek my thoughts

And ask me to speak my thoughts.

Yeah why can’t I have deep thoughts?

Look, I fall apart when she’s not here

My brain runs in circles

When she’s not near, what’s the big idea?

I try, yes I try

I fantasise

But I’m paralysed.

I can’t seem to find a way out of here. Ave Maria...

Chorus

Look, I’m window-watching and procrastinating

I’m doing nothing

Only waiting, life on hold, anticipating.

I try, yes I try,

But I just can’t rationalise

I can only self-despise.

I want so much more but I’m hesitating, reiterating…

Chorus impro to fade

I'd love some easy guitar chords and a melody for this. Any takers?
