0415. INSIDE MY HEAD
Music and Lyrics by Kevin Branigan
November 30 to December 8, 2016
Copyright 2017
vs: A | A | G Em | G A :|| D | C | F | D | A | A | G Em | G A ||
Please be careful where you tread
Something is wrong inside my head
You'll be blue and I'll see red
Everything's weird inside my head
Thriving on delusions and illusions, I confess
I can hear your thoughts unsaid
Ringing out loud inside my head
int: A | A |
vs: A | A | G Em | G A :|| D | C | F | D | A | A | G Em | G A ||
Can't be followed, can't be led
Running in circles in my head
Isolate myself instead
There is a world inside my head
And I'll find a place to hide when ev'rything's a mess
Think of all the times I fled
Looking for peace inside my head
int: G E | G A |
br: C | G | D | A | C | G | D | D || C | G | D | A | C | G | D | D | A | A |
With a little meditation and some medication I'd be fine
But I do none of the above
Should I suffer through it or just numb myself?
It's hard to see the line
Which will bring me death or bring me love?
vs: A | A | G Em | G A :|| D | C | F | D | A | A | G Em | G A ||
Memories are far ahead
And it makes sense inside my head
My nostalgia finally dead
Running its course inside my head
All the years and eras have become too much to rest
Hope is all I really dread
Something is wrong inside my head
coda: A | A | G Em | G A :||
Something is wrong inside my head
Everything's weird inside my head

Copyright 2018
vs: Am | Am | Dm6/A | Dm6/A | E7b9/A | E7b9/A | Am | Am :||
I still recall the time and place, and every look upon your face
And I have all the words you said in memories inside my head
And know that you can come to me to reignite your history
I'm always ready for a ride, to join you on the old inside
ch: D | Am | D | Am | D | Am | Bm7b5 | E7b9 | Am | Am |
They call me the Historian
And with no Delorian
I travel time within my mind
To bring my sleeping heart to life
vs: Am | Am | Dm6/A | Dm6/A | E7b9/A | E7b9/A | Am | Am :||
But every now and then I go to places that I should not go
Nostalgia is all fine and well until it turns to grieving hell
In deep despair for what I lost, I'll get it back at any cost
With all the artifacts I keep, and memories of love so deep
ch: D | Am | D | Am | D | Am | Bm7b5 | E7b9 | Am | Am |
They call me the Historian
And with no Delorian
I travel time within my mind
To bring my sleeping heart to life
br: G | G | C | C | Am | Am | Bm7b5 E7b9 | Am | Am |
And nothing else will feel the same as when I hear you call my name
And I'll reach out beyond the years to reconnect our hopes and fears
solo: D | Am | D | Am | D | Am | Bm7b5 | E7b9 | Am | Am | Am | Am |
vs: Am | Am | Dm6/A | Dm6/A | E7b9/A | E7b9/A | Am | Am :||
And if I disappear for days, I may be lost in time's arrays
But always know I will emerge, although I'm always on the verge
Of seeking solace in the past, the only time I know will last
So even though you can't be here, I always know I'll find you there
ch: D | Am | D | Am | D | Am | Bm7b5 | E7b9 | Am | Am |
They call me the Historian
And with no Delorian
I travel time within my mind
To bring my sleeping heart to life

vs: Em /D | C | B /G | Em :|| 3x Em /D | C | B /G | A | A | E | G |
Now you're beautiful like I only know
With a magic touch we could build this up
Starting with desire, then we build a fire
When the pace is right, it can burn all night
ch: Am | G | D | F G :|| Am | Am/G | D/F# | F G | E | G |
Oblivia, look this way, can you see the thing I play?
Now we've got so much time, and it started in my mind
In my heart, in my soul, and I'll never let it go
vs: Em /D | C | B /G | Em :|| 3x Em /D | C | B /G | A | A | E | G |
I cannot be seen, it would wake this dream
But I must say "Hi" so it does not die
But if I say more, will it block the score?
Such a line to walk till it's time to talk
ch: Am | G | D | F G :|| Am | Am/G | D/F# | F G |
Oblivia, look this way, can you see the thing I play?
Now we've got so much time, and it started in my mind
In my heart, in my soul, and I'll never let it go
br: E | G | D | Am ||: G | D | Am | Em :|| 3x Em |
If you wanted this to grow, you would have to see the show
But I worry that you're blind to the wonders on this side
solo: Em /D | C | B /G | Em :|| 2x
vs: Em /D | C | B /G | Em :|| 3x Em /D | C | B /G | A | A | E | G |
Wonder how much time you'll be in my sight
Now I hope it's years, you distract my fears
As I watch you go, you're my favorite show
Then your light goes out, like I had a doubt
ch: Am | G | D | F G :|| Am | Am/G | D/F# | F G |
Oblivia, look this way, can you see the thing I play?
Now we've got so much time, and it started in my mind
In my heart, in my soul, and I'll never let it go

I feel like I'm on the front line
Wartorn, weary and sunblind
The endless battle is all mine
Living life on the front line
vs: Am C | G E | F G | C | Am C | G E | F G | Am B |

And all mine as well

But underlying this pleasant scene
Conflict and turmoil are raging
Hostile forces engaging
vs: Am C | G E | F G | C | Am C | G E | F G | Am B |
Feel the pain of the world, the pain of the world
I'm watching it burn
Feel the pain of the world, the pain of the world
So I live and learn
ch: Em G | Em :|| Em G | C A | Em G | Em |
I feel like I'm on the front line
Wartorn, weary and sunblind
The endless battle is all mine
Living life on the front line

vs: A/C# | C | D | A :|| C | G | D | A | A/C# | C | D | A || F | E | A | G | F | E |
Born into this world I found a dangerous place
I became the master of escaping it
Well-designed to insulate this heart and mind
But I need to work the network to survive
Battling the introverted need for space
I face it day by day, sometimes it's won
ch: G | B7 | E | A | G | A | E | E :||
Venture out into the world, it's a sight to see
Sharpening, reshaping you into the best that you can be
vs: A/C# | C | D | A :|| C | G | D | A | A/C# | C | D | A || F | E | A | G | F | E |
If you hide away you're only losing out
Come on out, the whole wide world is waiting now
You can face the all of everything you dread
All the anger and impatience right ahead
Silent when you need to talk and loud when not
It never serves you well, and then it does
ch: G | B7 | E | A | G | A | E | E :||
Venture out into the world, it's a sight to see
Sharpening, reshaping you into the best that you can be
br: C | D | A | C | F | E | A | A :||
Locked inside of your perception, you believe it tells you all
But I fear you may be wrong
Still, the world, alive and well, an endless well of drama, so
An endless well for your delight
instr ch: G | B7 | E | A | G | A | E | E :||
vs: A/C# | C | D | A :|| C | G | D | A | A/C# | C | D | A || F | E | A | G | F | E |
Look beyond the surface of this painful world
Look beyond instead to what we cannot touch
Safety there in distance from the exoworlds
Though our planet here is still the safest one
For our fragile bodies to sustain a life
Our souls to persevere, and just because
ch: G | B7 | E | A | G | A | E | E :||
Venture out into the world, it's a sight to see
Sharpening, reshaping you into the best that you can be

instr ch: A C | G D | Em Bm | C G | D/A | Em | Em |
vs: G D | A | Asus4 A | Em :|| 4x D/F# |
The bright lights flash in my eyes, I'm blinded by it all
The judgement darkens your eyes, although your words are soft
The voices scream in my mind, the future I recall
Like trauma from an old time that builds and tears down walls
ch: A C | G D | Em Bm | C G :|| D/A | Em | Em |
Now I'm at the edge on the brink of insanity
Right where I want to be, soon you'll be here
See you at the edge on the brink of insanity
Misery and company soon disappear
vs: G D | A | Asus4 A | Em :|| 4x D/F# |
I know that I imagine the dark impending doom
Although there is no future, I always feel it looms
I think my mind is damaged from all the dread I've felt
Anxiety is music, the soundtrack of my hell
ch: A C | G D | Em Bm | C G :||
Now I'm at the edge on the brink of insanity
Right where I want to be, soon you'll be here
See you at the edge on the brink of insanity
Misery and company soon disappear
br: A | Asus4 A || C | G | D | A | Em | C | D | A7sus4 | D | D | Em |
And when the clouds all break, the burning sun shines through
Illuminating shadows in my soul, things I'd rather not know
vs: G D | A | Asus4 A | Em :|| 4x D/F# |
If I knew you were watching I'd make a better show
And hope for your advances for love and afterglows
And if you lingered with me to heal my dread and pain
The whole world would be magic and cheerful once again
ch: A C | G D | Em Bm | C G :||
Now I'm at the edge on the brink of insanity
Right where I want to be, soon you'll be here
See you at the edge on the brink of insanity
Misery and company soon disappear

Music and Lyrics by Kevin Branigan
April 1 to 10, 2017
Copyright 2018
ch: G Em | Am C | G :|| 4x
It's amazing how you phase me
In the ways you plot and tease me
With a word or with your silence
I'll be drawn to peace and violence
vs: Em | Am | C | G D :|| 4x
I'm always upside down now, and turning inside out
Afraid to go too deep now, and ask what it's about
So now I play it safe for the sake of all we've had
I hope I have the instincts to stop it going bad
ch: G Em | Am C | G :|| 4x
It's amazing how you phase me
In the ways you plot and tease me
With a word or with your silence
I'll be drawn to peace and violence
vs: Em | Am | C | G D :|| 4x
Now you were never this close to driving me insane
And you were never so far for me to fall away
The time will come to take us to where we were before
But I don't know if this means the times of love or war
instr ch: G Em | Am C | G :|| 4x
vs: Em | Am | C | G D :|| 4x
If I could only go back and warn myself to be
A little less impatient, a little more carefree
Then maybe I could save us from all the ups and downs
And have a love that lasted forever and for now
ch: G Em | Am C | G :|| 8x
It's amazing how you phase me
In the ways you plot and tease me
With a word or with your silence
I'll be drawn to peace and violence
It's amazing...

vs: Em | A | G | A | Em | A | G | C |
Let the summer sun shine until the day that you're mine
I'm basking in the warmth of the world
But please don't get me wrong now, this love, it troubles my heart
I think of all the ways it could hurt
vs: Em | A | C | B7 | Em | A | C B7 | E ||
It seems that when I like one, it never is the right one
And then I always fall down to hell
But maybe I can do this with gratitude and with bliss
There's nothing now to lose but the hope
ch: A | F | C | F | A | F | C | B7 || E | C | A | C |
I should be knowing better, and never should have let her
Entrance my heart and soul, but it's done
For she is quite the goddess, and don't offend the goddess
Oh, all I want to do is make amends, not make it end
vs: Em | A | G | A | Em | A | G | C |
But now the universe is right back up to its old tricks
By taking things away once again
And I could never fight for someone I'm not so right for
I'd have to know that she wants it more
vs: Em | A | C | B7 | Em | A | C B7 | E ||
It's always a dilemma to take it slow and have fun
Or strike it when the iron's burning hot
But still the world is turning and summer sun is burning
It feels to me the time would be now
ch: A | F | C | F | A | F | C | B7 ||: E | C | A | C :||
I should be knowing better, and never should have let her
Entrance my heart and soul, but it's done
For she is quite the goddess, and don't offend the goddess
Oh, all I want to do is make amends, not make it end
br: C | G | Am | E | F | C | E ||: A | F | D | F :||
I always miss the winter, but then I miss the summer
Oh, please help me turn this around
And start looking forward instead
ch: A | F | C | F | A | F | C | B7 ||: E | C | A | C :||
I should be knowing better, and never should have let her
Entrance my heart and soul, but it's done
For she is quite the goddess, and don't offend the goddess
Oh, all I want to do is make amends, not make it end
Don't make it end, don't let this end, don't make it end

The sky is blue and trees are green, prepare yourself for change of scene

vs: E | Am | E | C | E :|| D | F | E | C | E || E | Am | E | C | C | D | D |
I can see there may be doubt about what you perceive
For the truth is hidden very well behind a veil
As it must, for there are certain attitudes for lust
In the mind there are no latitudes for being kind
ch: A2 | | | | Cmaj7 | | | | D2/6 | | | | E | | | |
And my dream will come true, to have a day with you
vs: E | Am | E | C | E :|| 3x D | F | E | C | E || E | Am | E | C | C | D | D |
So it's true, we'll leave and have a little rendevous
Then she'll learn the wonders of the endless universe
Then I'll be inside of her and she inside of me
Everytime she comes to see we'll go where I reside
ch: A2 | | | | Cmaj7 | | | | D2/6 | | | | E | | | |
And my dream will come true, to have a day with you
instr half vs: E | Am | E | C | E || E | Am | E | C | C | D | D |
br: C | G | D | F | D :|| C | G | D | F | F | D | D |
And it's true, for all the things I'd sacrifice for you
But it's fine, we always have to stop and draw the line
That is why we have our fantasies to get it right
vs: E | Am | E | C | E :|| 3x D | F | E | C | E || E | Am | E | C | C | D | D |
Without time reality would never be inclined
To evolve, and none of these dilemmas would be solved
But it will and I can think of it as time to kill
And I wait, the universe may soon cooperate
ch: A2 | | | | Cmaj7 | | | | D2/6 | | | | E | | | |
And my dream will come true, to have a day with you

June came around, didn't get very far
And on the third she was there, and I soon was disarmed
Because her edge and her wit, it was ruthless and charming
To my head and my heart and my soul was to follow
Eighth of July, can't remember if I
Had been expecting her there, but she came and she smiled
And when she waved was it more than what I thought I was seeing?
When my mind started racing, entranced in the beauty
ch: G | D | G | D | G | D | Em | A || B5 | B5 | D2 | D2 ||
Summertime in San Nati, and now my heart's a fire
The goddess of late July cast a spell of soul desire on me
vs: B5 | B5 | D2 | D2 | E5 | G | B5 | B5 :||
So on the night in the hickory hills
I had it right in the palm of my hand but I knew
I wasn't happy with something I said and I blew it
Or I just must admit that I haven't a clue here
Maybe the int'rest was just a mirage
Or maybe things that I said went in one out the other
Either way anything that is prone to be sabatoged
Is fair game for me when I'm trying too hard now
ch: G | D | G | D | G | D | Em | A || B5 | B5 | D2 | D2 ||
Summertime in San Nati, and now my heart's a fire
The goddess of late July cast a spell of soul desire on me

In the summer daylight and the glow of nighttime stars
Her beauty put a lasting vision in my heart

vs: Am | F | C | C :|| Am | C | F | C | Am | F | C E7 | Am |
Spent so many troubled years working hard to beat those fears
Didn't want to make mistakes, fixing them with all it takes
But the pressure gets to be way too much to guarantee
Every couple years I break, see the bottom drop away
ch: F | C | F | C | F G | C F | F | F E7 | Am | Am |
And so you want the perfect day
So you can say you got your way
But something's telling us to see
The imperfections make it real
vs: Am | F | C | C :|| Am | C | F | C | Am | F | C E7 | Am |
That includes emotions too, guilt and grieving hurt, it's true
Can you let them burn instead, not resisting in your head?
Easier to say than do, when you're in a war it's true
Feeling hell will never end, how can pain become your friend?
ch: F | C | F | C | F G | C F | F | F E7 | Am | Am |
And so you want the perfect day
So you can say you got your way
But something's telling us to see
The imperfections make it real
solo: Am | F | C | E :|| 4x
They make it real...
vs: Am | F | C | C :|| Am | C | F | C | Am | F | C E7 | Am |
So the paradox begins, when you give it up you win
Then a cloud is rolling in and you're on the run again
Trying hard to make it right it's a never-ending fight
But you know it all works out when you just surrender now
ch: F | C | F | C | F G | C F | F | F E7 | Am | Am |
And so you want the perfect day
So you can say you got your way
But something's telling us to see
The imperfections make it real
coda: Am | F | C | E :|| 3x Am
They make it real...

And I'm the one to save the day
Now I'm the one who comes undone
But I'm the one who did not run, I win, I won...

0438. OLD SCORPIO
Music and Lyrics by Kevin Branigan
October 27 to November 4, 2017
Copyright 2018
vs: Bm | Gm | Bm | G | D | GmM7 | D6 | D6 A13 :||
There's a smile in his dark eyes
Rough and wild but he's refined
Soft and polished as a knife
Don't be fooled by the gentle
Way he speaks when you see him
One false move and you're ended, gone
ch: D | Gm | Bm | Gm6 | Bm | Em | F# | Em | F# | Em |
You don't know what he's been through
You don't know what he felt
You only know what he shows you
Old Scorpio, Old Scorpio
vs: Bm | Gm | Bm | G | D | GmM7 | D6 | D6 A13 :||
He's not subject to this world
Only forces within him
But he's had to contain them
Maybe just to protect us
From his wrath and his fury
Maybe he truly loves us all
ch: D | Gm | Bm | Gm6 | Bm | Em | F# | Em | F# | Em |
You don't know what he's been through
You don't know what he felt
You only know what he shows you
Old Scorpio, Old Scorpio
br: F# | Em | A#dim7 | Bm | G | D | 1. F# | Bm :|| 2. F# | Em | Em | F# | F# |
You know parts of his story
But it's like he was not there
Like it happened around him
So removed but in control
He's an artist or banker
With a shield for the rancor
You may have to surrender
Never knowing the answers
vs: Bm | Gm | Bm | G | D | GmM7 | D6 | D6 A13 :||
You can tell he's strategic
But his charm will entrance you
Your one goal is to survive
Without losing your own mind
In your shaky paradigm
With your ego still intact [laughs]
ch: D | Gm | Bm | Gm6 | Bm | Em | F# | Em | F# | Em |
You don't know what he's been through
You don't know what he felt
You only know what he shows you
Old Scorpio, Old Scorpio...

0401. CRAZY GIRLS
Music and Lyrics by Kevin Branigan
May 1 to 14, 2016
Copyright 2017
ch: C | G | D | Am :|| 3x C | G | D | Em |
No more crazy girls, I think I had my fill
No more crazy girls, I wonder if I will
I love the crazy girls because they're lots of fun, but
No more crazy girls, next time I'm gonna run
vs: C | G | D | Am :|| 3x C | G | D | A7 |
When I was just a boy I used to fall in love
With girls who had a trace of crazy in the blood
It's like I couldn't feel a thing if they were sane
So young I never knew it's best to stay away
ch: C | G | D | Am :|| 3x C | G | D | Em |
No more crazy girls, I think I had my fill
No more crazy girls, I wonder if I will
I love the crazy girls because they're lots of fun, but
No more crazy girls, next time I'm gonna run
vs: C | G | D | Am :|| 3x C | G | D | A7 |
I'm bored without a taste of her insanity
Although it always seems to get the best of me
It's easy getting in but murder getting out
It's hard to lose the part the others are without
int: C | G | D | Am | C | G | D | A | A |
br: A | A | C | C | B | B | C | C | G | A |
Although the days are dark, the nights are worth the pain
So I'll say never ever till forever comes again
solo: G | D | A | Em | G | D | A | A |
ch: C | G | D | Am :|| 8x
No more crazy girls, I think I had my fill
No more crazy girls, I wonder if I will
I love the crazy girls because they're lots of fun, but
No more crazy girls, next time I'm gonna run
No more crazy girls...until they come a [A7] round

0406. ALTERNATE ENDING
Music and Lyrics by Kevin Branigan
August 25 to September 1, 2016
Copyright 2017
vs: E | C | A | E :|| 4x C |
And so it looks like we have found our destiny
To learn to live apart without the angry hearts
When on a quest for peace, I calmed the raging beast
By coming back for more, then sneaking out the door
So after all we sought, the past is all we've got
You said it so yourself, though who can really tell?
With you it's always change, no longer was it strange
I learned to live the dream, with nightmares in between
pc: B | C | B | G | B | C |
I had enough of the damn defriending
Had enough of the broken mending
Temper tantrums that needed defending
ch: B | G | E | G :|| 4x F# | E |
So I gave our story an alternate ending
Over without bloodshed, the outcome is pending
My way or the highway, it's winding and bending
Hope you are enjoying the alternate ending
vs: E | C | A | E :|| 4x C |
It hurts me now to say I'm happier today
The truth is I can't see what there was left for me
I know your life is hard, so hard it killed the love
It's hard to live in pain, again again again
pc: B | C | B | G | B | C |
I had enough of the damn defriending
Had enough of the broken mending
Temper tantrums that needed defending
ch: B | G | E | G :|| 4x
So I gave our story an alternate ending
Over without bloodshed, the outcome is pending
My way or the highway, it's winding and bending
Hope you are enjoying the alternate ending
solo: F# | E | B | G | F# | E | E |
vs: E | C | A | E :|| 4x C | E | C |
If there is hope instead then maybe it's not dead
I often thought it was, then we'd be back in touch
The balcony is here with me upon the chair
The summer wind it blows, no matter where it goes it blows
pc: B | C | B | G | B | C |
I had enough of the damn defriending
Had enough of the broken mending
Temper tantrums that needed defending
ch: B | G | E | G :|| 8x
So I gave our story an alternate ending
Over without bloodshed, the outcome is pending
My way or the highway, it's winding and bending
Hope you are enjoying the alternate ending...
coda: F#-G G G G G G G G G G G G :|| 6x
