lyrics for "Come Down Where You Ought To Be"

Post by jeff robertson »

.. basically I got lyric-writers block. Somebody help me out.

Stripped-down, one-guitar version of the music here:

http://www.jeff-robertson.com/flvxx/sf/ ... _basic.mp3

Three verses, three choruses. No bridge. 1:39 to 1:55 is where a guitar solo is going to be.

If you got any lyrics to fit this (even if it's one verse or something) post 'em here, or PM me, or whatever you want to do.

126 bpm, 4/4 time with triplets so it sounds like 12/8.

Verse chords:
Dm C Am G
Dm C Am E7
Dm C Am G
Dm C Am A

Chorus Chords:
Bb6 Fadd9 C G
Bb6 Fadd9 C

Chords under solo:
Dm C Bb A

I doubt it'll help any but heres what I heard while listening to it...

Come down
Where you ought to be
2 percent
Think about it
Just a little bit
2 percent
Its not that big a deal
You can make it right
2 percent

Either that guitar is saying 2 percent or its saying supersize it in which case its a song about someone needing to come down in weight because they're always saying supersize it, supersize it.
