No Strings Attached
by Pete Laric
2015-03-26
chord progression from Pete's "Impromptu #10"
Am C G D
when we met
it was clear
that both of us
had cause to fear
we both had been
through hard times before
but yet, we held on tight
i took a chance
believing you would love me <-- going up^
for who i am, not who i should be
was i wrong or is there something you'd like to say?
(instrumental)
we tried to let
the dark past be
i carried you
you carried me
we made our way
undismayed by what was a bumpy ride at first
you broke down crying
every time i told you there was something in between us
do you believe in us, or are we out of time?
chorus: (intersperse lyrics)
i don't want any strings attached (to our love)
no, no, no strings attached
you've got so many strings attached
you're tying me up by my heart strings, baby
you never noticed you were breaking my heart!
you never noticed you were breaking my heart!
i don't wanna be alone again
i don't wanna be alone again
tell me you love me, baby!
show me you love me, baby!
verse:
tell me now
in this new light
do you still have the strength to fight?
i guess i'll give us one more try
it's easier than saying goodbye

"My Secret Wish"
by Frank Robert Kauzlaric (1921-2010)
This is my wish for you
With all my heart
May other lips that you touch
Just remind you how much
I love you
And though you're gone from me
This is my prayer
If someone else makes you cry,
Just remember that I still care
And when you fall asleep
And your heart is free
May every dream you're dreaming
Be a dream of me
And then I hope and pray
When dreams come true
You'll feel my lips with each kiss
This is my secret wish for you
And when you fall asleep
And your heart is free
May every dream you're dreaming
Be a dream of me
And then I hope and pray
When dreams come true
You'll feel my lips with each kiss
This is my secret wish for you

Am
i've got a lot to say
F
_ but no one wants to hear me
C
keeping me at bay
G
_ nobody will come near me
Am
your reality
F
given to you by TV
C
always vilifying
G
those are just trying to
F C
set us free-hee hee
Am G
free-hee hee
it's time to dump some
F C
tea-hee hee
Am G
so we can be free
aristocracy
always claims authority
they never cared for me
asking way too many questions
quick to crucify
anyone who disagrees
quick to go to war
_ 'long as they never have to bleed
bleed
they'll never have to bleed
you must concede
the time is now
it's time to act
time to take our country back!
time to break these bitter chains
time to reinstate our claims
we hold these truths
to be revealed
they must never be concealed
the foundation of our nation
is that we are free
we'll always be free!
so come with me

"Along About Sundown"
by Frank Robert Kauzlaric (1921-2010)
Along about sundown
When my work is through
Along about sundown
I'm thinking of you
The shadows are falling
And evening is near
The twilight is calling
me home to you dear
And then the moon comes out!
The stars, they shine
They twinkle merrily
'Cause you are mine
Along about sundown
The soft echoes fly
The still of the evening
And two lovers sigh
And then the moon comes out!
The stars, they shine
They twinkle merrily
'Cause you are mine!
Along about sundown
The soft echoes fly
The still of the evening
And two lover sigh!
