Chords for An Introduction to Bruno Major 2017

Don't you tell me that it wasn't meant to be
_ _ [C] _ _ Call it quit.
[F] Call it destiny
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ Just because [Gm] it won't come easily
_ _ _ [C] _ _ Doesn't mean we [F] shouldn't try. _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [Bm] I started playing [C] guitar when I was seven years old.
[E] My dad plays guitar [D#] and
[F] They were always lying [A#] around the house.
So I used to pick his ones up.
They were too big for me
I couldn't reach the strings and [F#] then I
[Cm] _
[Gm] got into jazz [F] around the age of
[C] 17 because my first [A#] girlfriend was a jazz singer and she showed me some
Jazz chords and it kind of blew my [Bm] mind and I ended up [C] going to study it and becoming a bachelor of jazz
Which is a real [D#] thing.
I [G] moved down to [A#] London
I really [D] wanted to play guitar for Elton John or [D#] Stevie Wonder or somebody like that
I was so [F] inspired by the energy of the [C] city, these different cultures and experiences [F] and the energy
I [A#] started writing songs and
Quickly realized that that [Bm] was [F#] what I wanted to do with my [A] life.
_ _ I had a recurring nightmare where [C] I couldn't leave my flat [F] every time I tried to get out the door
I would [D] realize that I hadn't got my trousers [A] on or my shoelaces were untied and I [C] realized that it [F] was
Because I hadn't [E] released any music [A] and I had 400 songs or something like that
On my laptop just [C] sitting there and I had one song finished which was wouldn't mean a thing [A] which was the first track
from the collection
_ [C] So I just thought [F] I'll put it out [C] and then just keep putting songs out [F#m] and do [A] them in the month themselves
And I made an album.
Hang [F] on.
It's not an [A#] album.
It's a collection of songs and
[G] It's [E] called a song for every moon [F] and because there [C] are 12 moon cycles in a year.
There [G] are 12 [F] songs on the collection
_ _ [C] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [E] I
_ _ [Dm] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [F] _ [A#] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [B] Have this sort of duality between
Wanting to [F#] make music that is [B] as
musical and [E] soulful as the [B] Angelo and
[Em] Then also wanting to write songs that are as involved [E] in and sort of intelligent as [F#m] Randy Newman
Lyrically, [B] and I'm kind of trying to fuse them [B] together and then at the same time, I'm really [E] inspired by electronic music
[Em] artists like James Blake and Todd Terry a and [C#] I love Radiohead and [E] I
Think 90 [F#m]% of writing a song [B] is convincing yourself that what you're making isn't terrible
and I [E] think to have had some form of validation [F#] from [F#m] the [B] public has really
[G#m] Emboldened me [C#m] and given me a renewed
[E] confidence
_ _ [F] Enjoy in the writing [F#] process.
Take me
[E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#m] Away to a [F#] silence I need take [E] me
_ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [G#m] Away to a ghostly [F#] breeze _ I don't need to [C#m] build a house [D#m] of stone _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [A]
Call [B] home, so we're just you [F#] and me [F#] drink and
_ [E] _ _ [N] _ _
