[A] It's like when you're making conversations [G] and you're trying not to scream

This is a song that was written by my wife Susanna and a friend of ours named Richard Lee.
[N] Susanna's a great songwriter.
She's had a lot of big hits.
Kept me alive.
And Richard is a marvelous wooden boat builder and sailor and not a bad songwriter himself.
He's the guy who wrote Don't Make My Brown Eyes Blue, which he wrote about his dog.
[E]
Of course, he didn't tell Crystal Gale that until a little later, but it's a marvelous song they wrote.
This is the kind of song
