Don't Let Me Go (song)

Don't Let Me Go By Jesse Scobie


Verse 1:
Fm7 Cm7
I see your car driving around the riverbed
Ab7 Bb7
Your fearless eyes against a sun of red
(repeat chords)
A long road of stories went by in a flash

But hold on cause this road ain't the last

Chorus:
Fm7 Cm7
And you know...
Ab7 Bb7
Don't let me go (X 2)



Verse 2:
Fm7 Cm7
I feel it slipping every time we say goodbye
Ab7 Bb7
My voice is strong but my words pass me by
(repeat chords)
We shared a world of woven dreams

But that rose of love is dead it seems

Bridge:
B7 Ab9
If I was far across the sea in a secret walled city
D7(inverted) E7(inverted) Ab
I know you could rescue me if you tried
B7 Ab9
I keep tumbling down in this mystic unground
D7(inverted) E7(inverted) Ab
But your love flies me up to the sky

(Synth and strings open)
Db Eb
Fm F#m

Db Eb

Fm F#M
Love is raining down on me (3X)

Eb Ab (end of bridge)

Chorus:
Fm7 Cm7
And you know...
Ab7 Bb7
Don't let me go (X 2)

And you
Don't Always
Have
Second chances (X2)

Fm7 Cm7
And you know..
Ab7 Bb7
Don't let me go
And you know..
Don't let me go (fade out)

Washed Out and Dried Off (song)

Washed Out And Dried Off By Jesse Scobie


G Bm
Walking down a broken path
D C Em D
Highways full of pointless ambition
G Bm
Hear the creature's mighty laugh

Long time seeking true transition

My thoughts keep down up here
I see the clouds keep on fading
The eagle's flying through the fear

Can't hear what I have to say

Hoping for a brighter

Washed out and dried off
The bars start to disappear

Washed out and dried off
My soul's on the new frontier


2nd Verse:
G Bm
They can tell you what they please
D C Em D (2x)
When you're on the verge of falling off

They see you just as a disease
A lone virus that started from a bad cough

But I don't believe it is useless
I've drowned before so many times
And I can't say I'm done for
Just breath again and I'll be fine

2nd Chorus:
F Ab
Washed out and dried off
Eb Db- Bb
You can't hear what I have to say

The bars start to disappear

Washed out and dried off
My soul's on the new frontier

Walking down a broken path

Highways full of pointless ambition

Hear the creature's mighty laugh

Long time seeking true transition

I feel it so calmly waiting
My thoughts keep down up here
I see the clouds keep on fading
The eagle's flying through the fear

(When the Flames) Catch your Back (song)

(When The Flames) Catch Your Back By Jesse Scobie


Verse:
Bb minor
The fire's in the house now
Eb minor
It will catch you like a mouse trap
Ab
Your world is crumbling down
Db F
Your race car's off the race track

Bb minor
You keep running around here wasting all of our time
Eb minor
Never bothering to check the facts
Ab
Now you feel you're about to lose your mind
Db F
When the fever rises and the flames catch your back

(same chords)
Drinking margaritas on a sunny beach
You've got the time to relax
Everybody's dancing to your beat
All bad things are in your past

(same chords)
But wait a minute, just a minute, just a little minute
Everything here goes around so fast
Your gold minute's almost finished
When armageddon's coming and the flames catch your back

Trumpet solo over verse chords


Chorus:
Eb
It's so hard to be nice guy
F minor
With two horns on your head

Ab
It's so hard to live righteously
Bb
When it's easier being dead

(same chords)
Maybe someday I will turn my life around
Though you know it's something I dread

Maybe I'm just a dark should who's found
He has a good guy suit to shred

Verse 2:
Bb minor
You're crystal globe kingdom has finally cracked
Eb minor
You're social network is about to crash
Ab
Those words of hate are now all trapped
Db F
Though your actions continue to impact

(same chords)
I guess it all depends on who controls your soul
And if you're ready for the t final task
Because those dark demons take their toll
And the war's still going when the flames catch your back

Watching The Time Go By (poem)

Watching The Time Go By By Jesse Scobie
(For My Grandfather Ross Beiler)

Driving the old car down the sunset lit street
Breeze in my face, watching the robins fly high
Daytona looks beautiful beyond the windy trees
A lovely day at the beach watching the time go by

Receiving hugs and kisses from family members
Having sweet iced tea and grandma's apple pie
Seeing the old photographs of smiles, of memories
Everything seems so simple watching the time go by

You're born into a life unknown, in a special place and time
With certain gifts you receive to use before you die
A brilliant mind for helping others and heart for caring
Inspiring the young and restless, watching the time go by

Raised a family of values, virtues and service to others
With a loving wife and mother always present at your side
Father to son again and again, teaching the importance
Of not letting it all slip away, watching the time go by

From The Cold To The Flame

From The Cold To The Flame By Jesse Scobie

From the beginning till the end
From spring's bosom to winter's dark
From the sleepy hollows o f yesteryear
To the snowy tops of a life complete
Truth always stays the same
From the cold to the flame

From children laughing in delight
From serpent's hissing at the walls
From the girls of love long gone
To the acceptance of what is
It will all continue to change
From the cold to the flame

From prisons of doubt and ceilings of fear
From the depths of a poor man's den
From the pools of a rich man's fountain
To seek the heart of nature
Riding on the forgotten train
From the cold to the flame

From a solemn spot on a dreamy hill
From the moon's sweet summer home
From the blessings of a family tree
To the stars of destiny and fortune
Through sunshine and through rain
We break through all the chains
From the cold to the flame

Traveling Birthday Wishes

Traveling Birthday Wishes By Jesse Scobie


On the beaches of Normandy, I can feel fire in my veins
Through the Indian Ocean I am alive
From the tops of the Pyramids of Giza I feel no more pain
Sleeping in the Yorkshire fields tonight

Sammy's gotta go fishing and I gotta find my keys
Rachel needs a date for the prom
The Statue of Liberty is crumbling to it's knees
Uncle Sam needs to find a new mom

Happy Birthday, I wish I could feel young again
Happy Birthday, so you think it's time to stay friends
Well let's go and see
Where we want to be

In a sleepy misty garden, the druids make amends
Through the diamond sky I still dream
From the Rocky Mountains I sense all the trends
Swimming in Lake Michigan I am redeemed

Billy has to cash the checks and I need cigarettes
Suzy feels the wind creep in
George Washington's tears are of broken bayonets
Santa Claus is breathing thin

Happy Birthday, I wish I could feel young again
Happy Birthday, so you think it's time to stay friends

Well let's go and see
Where we want to be
See what it all means
In this broken down life machine
Of traveling birthday wishes and midnight dreams..

Theme From A Broken River (Signs Of A Broken Mind)

THEME FROM A BROKEN RIVER (SIGNS OF A BROKEN MIND) By Jesse Scobie


Gm C Eb D F
Lately I've been so lonely, you were the only thing that kept me going
Gm C Eb D F
Lately I've been so broken, feeling so hopeless, the sadness keeps on growing

F/Gm F/Gm Eb D
The past is the past, nothing long lasts except for the pain and the memories glowing
F/Gm F/Gm Eb D
Stuck in a trance, given so many chances, your mind kicks at your blood still flowing

Eb D
No one can see..... and no one can see
Gm F#
what it keeps doing to me
Eb D
No one believes..... and no one believes
Gm F#
anymore in you or me
Eb D
Death is all I can see, death is all they believe
Gm F#
will keep on unfolding
Eb Bb aug Gm D
Here we go and here we go on this path left so frozen
Eb Bb aug Gm D
You'll never hear, you'll never hear all the words left unspoken

(repeat chords from above)
Let's look at who won and what they've become in the face of god's love
Let's shed no more tears, release all the fears, I believe we've had enough

Time moves slowly, keep dreaming mostly of a paradise that is long gone
But dreams are hollow, there's no tomorrow in a world full of so much wrong

No one can see..... and no one can see
what it keeps doing to me
No one believes..... and no one believes
anymore in you or me
Death is all I can see, death is all they believe
will keep on unfolding

Here we go and here we go on this path left so frozen
Can't you see, can't you see all this wounds cut open
We can't escape, we can't escape the fates we've chosen
You'll never hear, you'll never hear all the words left unspoken
