Straight Flush Draw

This is a song I wrote a few years back that was originally named “My Straight Flush Draw”. I contemplated on whether to keep its name but thought a new title would better favour the true essence of the song.

Despite being sung and performed at numerous gigs over the last 3 years, I realised I haven’t uploaded the final product and shown you how the song has evolved into what it is today.

I hope you enjoy it!

Lyrics & Chords:

 
::Verse::

C7 D G
Give up the time to party

C7 D G
Give up the afternoon

Em D G
Cause I know you are somebody

C7 D G
That crashes with the moon

C7 D G
Give up on all your feelings

C7 D G
Give up on your beliefs

Em D G
Cause were here together dancing

C7 D G
Like flame and water, earth and breeze

 

::Chorus::
Em D G
You take me far where I dont want to go

Em D G
You find a way to make time pass so slow

Em D
You are the card that Im waiting for

C7 G
The queen of hearts, in my straight flush draw,

Em D G
Without you, I lose it all

 

::Verse 2::

Give up your mindless knowledge
Give up your poker face
Cause I see right through the coldness
To a beauty filled with grace

 

[Chorus]

 

::Bridge::

Am C D
Take back what you have told me

Am C D
Give up on even trying

Am C D
Dont say that you are sorry

Am C D
Cause when you stop searching you will find

 

[Chorus] x2
