I Said It First
Madison Metricula Roberts
Key: A


Intro:
A B D A
   
Verse 1:
    A
You know I said I loved you first
         B
With you lying on my back
     D                   Bm
Your arms wrapped tight around me
         D               A
And your cock against my ass

  A
I could have said sooner
        B
But the time was never right
   D           Bm
It didn't seem matter though
         D                   A
When you held me through the night


Chorus 1:
G
I knew that you'd say it back
  D
I knew that you'd agree
  A                  F#m
I know your mind and see your heart
         G           D  A B D A
When you speak silently


Verse 2:
        A
Yeah we had such fun together
   B
So many toys to try
  D                    Bm
A sense that time went on and on
   D            A
My patient body high

    A
But hours always dwindled
   B
No matter what our plans
  D               Bm
I wish that I had known
           D                   A
It was the last time we'd hold hands


Chorus 1:
G
I knew that you'd say it back
  D
I knew that you'd agree
  A                  F#m
I know your mind and see your heart
         G           D  A B D A
When you speak silently


Verse 3:
        A
There's trouble now between us
B
Nothing comes for free
   D                 Bm
Frustrated tears and lonely fears
     D          A
Have reached an apogee

  A
I wrote it down, I typed it up
    B
And voiced it there to you
   D            Bm
My lover on the PC screen
  D                  A
I know we won't pull through


Chorus 1:
G
I knew that you'd say it back
  D
I knew that you'd agree
  A                  F#m
I know your mind and see your heart
         G           D  A B D A
When you speak silently


Verse 4:
A
My preemptive playfulness
  B
A tone to set with you
   D                 Bm
To let go parts that hurt me most
    D                  A
The spite that could accrue

  A
I hope we'll both be happier
  B
I hope we'll be all right
  D                    Bm
I hope that we'll have fun again
     D          A
Next time we reunite


Chorus 2:
G
I hope that you'll say it back
  D
I hope that you'll agree
  A                  F#m
I know your mind and see your heart
         G           D  A
When you speak silently

Outro:
A
I knew that you'd say it back
  B
I knew that you'd agree
  D                  Bm
I know your mind and see your heart
         G           D  A B D A
So don't speak silently

This one is called “Peril on the Sea,” loosely inspired by the hymn and a recent breakup! I’m really happy with the song!

See the FAWM entry or below for lyrics and chords!

Peril on the Sea
Madison Metricula Roberts
Key: A

Intro:
Amaj7 Gmaj7
  x2

Verse 1:
Amaj7           Gmaj7
Danceband on an ocean liner
Dmaj7                         D
we're playing hard but we're  not headliners
Amaj7             C
I am like you and you are like me
D7sus2                 Fmaj7
we'll keep playing but we're sinking slowly
      Bm11/E
And I more in common
     Amaj7          G      Amaj7
with those in peril on the sea

Verse 2:
   Amaj7            Gmaj7
It started out with gentle sailing
    Dmaj7                 D
But winter water sent our hearts and heads swaying
Amaj7                     C
Once the wave crashed and forced us hard to our knees
   D7sus2                    Fmaj7
we faced ice between us, the frozen jagged debris
    Bm11/E
And  I knew I belonged there
     Amaj7          G      Amaj7
with those in peril on the sea


Verse 3:
Amaj7        Gamj7
I see now we never should have started
Dmaj7                    D
With such high hopes but our heart's course uncharted
Amaj7                  C
I put my trust in your role as band lead
    D7sus2                  Fmaj7
But you didn't tell me when and changed to a new key
Bm11/E
I am not different to you
     Amaj7          G      Dmaj7 Amaj7
than those in peril on the sea
    Dmaj7 Amaj7
The sea
    G   D
The sea
