You Had it All

Radio friendly, commercial song writing

YOU HAD IT ALL

V1)

CUTTING YOUR BLADE THROUGH THE VELVET

SMASHING WHAT CAN’T BE REPLACED

CRAZY I KNOW, BUT DOESN’T IT SHOW

HOW YOU’RE PREPARED TO WASTE

YOU’VE CAREFULLY SEALED EACH LETTER

BUT THEN FORGOT TO SEND

THE WORLD WILL NEVER KNOW

V2)

YOU’VE WRITTEN A BROADWAY PRODUCTION

BUT NEVER TURNED UP FOR THE SHOW

YOU WON A WONKA GOLDEN TICKET

BUT NEVER REALLY CARED TO GO

GUESS I NEVER GOT TO TELL YOU

THE BEST PART’S AT THE END

YOU SHOULD HAVE HUNG ON THROUGH

CH)

You had it all

But threw it all away

You made a world

But didn’t want to stay

Trapped emotions almost free

Poised to write new history

You had it all

V3)

KEEPING ON COURSE OF MY LIFELINE

BUT NOW IT’S BEEN CUT BY YOUR KNIFE

HEAT FROM YOUR RAYS NOW CHILL OUT MY DAYS

YOU’VE FROZEN OUT MY LIFE

IF THAT’S YOUR FINAL DECISION

THEN JUSTICE AIN’T AT HOME

YOU’VE DIED BUT NEVER LIVED…. INTO CH)

MID 8)

WHY GIVE TEMPTATION AN EASY RIDE

DON’T TAKE THAT MIND TRIP – DON’T LET IT SLIDE

THE GRASS SEEMS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE

IT AIN’T SO

IT AIN’T SO + INST CHORUS HALF + END 2 SEMITONES DOWN TRANSPOSE

YOU HAD IT ALL
