Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
[Verse 1] FA Grow up you're nearly thirty one. BbC What happened when you were a child? FA Do you require an analyst? BbC Or will a friendly smile suffice?
BbBbm Find your space, are you breathing well FF Do you feel ok? BbBbm Are you calm, are you comfortable? GmC Is your heartbeat racing? Is this your soul you're facing?
[Verse 2] FA Lay down my couch is over there. BbCF I think you'll find its way more comfortable. A Take off your glasses. Don't be scared. BbCF For thirty pounds, I'll listen to your stories dear. A Shut the window there. BbBbm We should keep the session intimate, don't you agree?
FBb I have experience in matters similar FBb I can’t juggle I can’t knit a pinafore FBbGmC But I’ll listen to your tale and give you some advice
[Instrumental] BbBbmFBbBbmGmC
[Verse 3] FA I was an ace when I was young BbCF I learned to dance, I didn't have to learn A I was a case when I grew up BbCF A case of hope, crashing to the ground. A I learned. I hit the skids BbBbm And I woke up me, myself and I was a different person
FBb If i take you on will you be pliable? FBb As a confidante I’m quite reliable. F Dreamer, though you are BbF it is you that's been my signpost so far
