It's 3am. I don't hate this song. Let's see how I feel about it in the morning.
The assignment: “Include a key change in your tune; not a modal mixture, like a Bb chord in your C major tune, but a bona fide new tonal center that happens within the song. How you go about it is up to you.”
lyrics
v1:
Should we be walking hand in hand?
Paid no attention to the plans
v2:
What's yours is yours, what's mine is mine
Those are the rules, it sounds just fine
pre:
You & me, came to be
ch:
Same sea, different shore
Same team, different war
We can't all wait around tryin' to be reborn
We're in different boats, the same storm
v3:
Give it some thought, you know it's true
We're at the point, nothing to prove
pre:
You & me, came to be
ch:
Same sea, different shore
Same team, different war
We can't all wait around tryin' to be reborn
We're in different boats, the same storm
-- solo --
ch:
Same sea, different shore
Same team, different war
We can't all wait around tryin' to be reborn
We're in different boats
ch:
Same sea, different shore
Same team, different war
We're all in this together
You should have been warned
We're all riding out the same storm
We're all riding out the same storm
We're all riding out the same storm
