I Am the Elephant
Getting ready for the Tennessee Songwriter Week - I was going to perform a song from the Songwriter Sunday series... but this twist on a metaphor was calling to me so I wrote this and that's what I'll be performing, Jan 31st at Boyd's Jig&Reel. Lyrics below:
| C G C C F C |
VERSE 1
Am G
She grabs a cup of coffee.
C F
Tries to clear her bleary eyes.
Am G
Another long night of lying awake.
C F
She ain’t found the time to cry.
VERSE 2
Am G
She wonders how long she’ll be putting this off.
C F
The things that she has to say.
Am G
But she’s had her last night of being contrite.
F G
Wondering why he went astray.
CHORUS
C
You thought this problem.
G C
Would just go away.
C F C
Sweep it under the rug with nothing to say.
C G C
You’re headed for trouble and here’s your first clue.
C F
She says, “I am the elephant – and this is my
C
room”.
VERSE 3
Am G
She hears the front door slammin’
C F
It won’t be but a minute of doubt.
Am G
The blackness she sees in her coffee cup.
F G
Reflects her feelings now.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Dm F
You took it all for granted.
C C/F C
You were just showing up.
Dm F
But there’s gonna be some changes.
G
Because, she’s had enough.
CHORUS
OUTRO
C F
She says, “I am the elephant… and this is my
C
room”.
