Run Like Hell

I'm sorry for all you folks trying to keep up with my blog- it has seen a flurry of activity to day, I know- but I composed this literally in the time between when I posted my 2 Samuel Bible Study installment and now. The song is called...you guessed it-

Run Like Hell

Chord Progression/Musical Notes: I still haven't determined what to play during the verses, because of the broken up way they flow (that's on purpose, by the way). The fingering for the chorus chords is the same (play like an E minor), they’re just barred at different frets (i.e. Bar2 means bar fret 2 and finger it like an E minor [golly, that doesn't sound wholesome at all...], two frets from the bar finger)*…Slip and slide, boy, all over that guitar's neck! And yeah, it's definitely a song that I will be singing like my picture I posted below!

I see something I like
Oh yeah
Like a fish I’m gonna bite
Cause it’s an allure of the
Worst kind
A figure I can’t tear
From my mind
Even if I wanted to

And as I’m writhing on the line
I hear somebody say

Bar2*…………….
You better run like
Bar2……………...Eminor!
You better run like hell
Emin…...Bar6…………..........Bar7
Look out for what your mind’s in
You better run like
You better run like hell
If the alarm bells are ringin’
You better run like
You better run like hell
It’s hot on your heels yeah

Thoughts come unbidden
To my head
And in a second changed me
From a man into swine
I shake my head
But I’m hooked in by the eyes
And what I want isn’t
Giving up without a fight

Somewhere in the back of
My head, I'm thinkin’

I better run like
I better run like hell
I can’t believe what I’m day dreamin’
I better run like
I better run like hell
That old familiar guilt’s a creepin’
I better run like
I better run like hell
It’s hot on my heels yeah

There’s not a
Second to lose
But uh,
It’s no use
I kinda like where I am
I got some attention,
Thank you ma’m
I never had that before

And as I’m giving in something
Tells me the only way out is

I gotta run like
I gotta run like hell
Can’t you hear sin come a-screamin’
I gotta run like
I gotta run like hell
The shivers down my spine are seethin’
I gotta run like
I gotta run like hell
It’s hot on my heels yeah

I never thought
I’d get carried
So far away
I’m having a little more than
A brush with disaster
I’m caught by my flesh
I’m about to get pulled up
Hook, line and sinker

I'm getting a funny look
'Cause now I’m

Now I’m runnin’ like
Now I’m runnin’ like hell
I was blinded and now I see
Now I’m runnin’ like
Now I’m runnin’ like hell
It almost overwhelmed me
Now I’m runnin’ like
Now I’m runnin’ like hell
I tore myself FREEEE YEAH!

*crazy awesome guitar finish that I can't play but can hear in my head follows*

Woah...crickets on this one. That's OK, posting music when you can't actually post what it sounds like doesn't make sense. I'll still torture you poor people with songs I make up anyway, but I don't expect anything.

Sorry David, it really doesn't work without the music... and although I write poetry I don't like reading it too often (go figure) so even when I do read it I don't tend to comment on it... I read your song, and just said "oh, okay"
