Jeffrey Philip Nelson

Biography:

Jeffrey Philip Nelson's love for music and stories flow deep within. His lyrics are truthful and honest, and are sung and played from the heart. He is a true story teller which is proved on his debut album released in early 2010, titled "Could This Be...".

Intro
F#m


Verse 1-4

Emaj7
Your stuck in the shoes of another
B13
Whose focus is money and power
Aadd9
Its you, its you

Emaj7
Your life is surrounded by people
B13
Afraid of your eyes they glare so deep
Aadd9
Its you


Break
F#m


Emaj7
The futures your life's big focus
B13
Today is a day its just a day
Aadd9
It’s the same

To save is your saving grace today
Aadd9
Is this you

Chorus

C#m G#m C#m G#m
Life used to be so simple, but now things have changed
Amaj7 G#maj Amaj7 G#m
The money has taken my spirit away, I lost my soul
A G#m A B Emaj7
Now the capitals gained and now I am a different man


Verse 5-6

I now stand with cancer its killing
Unable to do things by myself
This is me

I wish to take twenty years back
Be poor and be kinder to the world
It’s a dream

Chorus

Life used to be so simple, but now things have changed
The money has taken my spirit away, I lost my soul
Now the capitals gained and now I am a different man

Verse 7-8

What a waste is money and power
Everything is not worth this dark void
Its my heart

With the present time existing
Its all been taken away it’s the best thing
My new life

Chorus

Life used to be so simple, but now things have changed
The money has taken my spirit away, I lost my soul
Now the capitals gained and now I am a different man

Ending

Emaj7
