A Tab For The Heartstrings
out of six strings
the girl has two
she knows what she wants
and that seems like nothing
she's cluless in her perfect world
out of six strings
the girl has four
she knows what she thinks is need
no one has changed like she swears they have
and he has done nothing wrong
out of six strings
the boy has eight
i know he cares
he just doesn't know what to do
or what to say
out of six strings
the girl has ten
she cares like no other
and everyone else comes first
i'll keep her secrets 'til my end
out of six strings
my love has twelve
a different love is ours
it will be the death of me
but not today
out of six strings
i don't know what she has
i'm sure she has many
but she never told me that
and i don't know her yet.

hello Maggie Mae,
Good title. I like the content. An imaginative way to log and compare your relationships. Great language use. Loved the metaphors. Favorite lines:
out of six strings
my love has twelve
a different love is ours
it will be the death of me
but not today
always, Cat

thank you
i was just on a tab site and thought, why can't people be so simple? even when a tab is complicated it's all laid out in front of you.
thanks,
