Casual Disclosure

A ballad for lost love...

Mostly acoustic but with a mournful electric guitar solo in the instrumental section... and a key change.

words and music by Martin Stirrup 2018

ROR 18 Casual Disclosure

(a)
Thinking back now, all in all |D |F#m |D |A |
What could I do what else could I say |D |F# |G |A |
When you know you’re heading for a fall
You see your dreams just slipping away

I was hopeless, running wild
You were cool as ice – I was
Just another helpless child
Learning to pay the price

(b)
But when I should have told you |F#m |G |F#m |G | the words just came out wrong |F#m |G |Bm |A | And though I still want to hold you
All I’m left with is this song
chorus
Just a casual disclosure |F#m |G |F#m |D run |
Just a chance as the blue turns to grey |C |G |Bm |A |..A
To findthat nothing had meaning, nothing remains

You were focused and you were so clear
I was floundering, all at sea
All was just as it appeared
… To everyone but me
(b)
You said that you believed me
When I said that I’d been true
So how could you deceive me
When I’d risked it all on you
Chorus

Bridge
I wish I understood the things that tore our love apart |F#m |Bm |G |D | Now all I have’s that clichéd sound, |F#m |Bm |G |A |
the breaking of my heart.

Instrumental chorus up a tone |G#m |A |G#m |C#m |
|D |A |C#m |B |

Chorus twice and end.. |G#m |A |G#m |E run |
|D |A |C#m |B |..E
