My Genre VERSE I’m playing in C Because it’s the easiest key Does that make me a little bit lazy? This guitar’s yours, Bought it from a charity store Cos your mum thought I would be nice, like sugar and spice Like chocolate mice Like the sun when its shining so bright PRE-CHORUS I Don’t know what to say I Don’t know what to play Maybe I’ll just cheekily delay CHORUS The fact it’s not Jazz it’s not pop Nor acoustic or rock It’s just what I need to sing It may not sound great But please appreciate That it’s what I need to sing You are my genre. X2 You are my genre VERSE 2 Write you a summer song, Hoping you’d sing along Probably not because music isn’t really your thing Take me to the beach laugh at who we meet Swimming in the sea then you’d lie with me PRE-CHORUS I Don’t know what to say I Don’t know what to play Maybe I’ll just cheekily delay CHORUS The fact it’s not Jazz its not pop Nor acoustic or rock It’s just what I need to sing It may not sound great But please appreciate That it’s what I need to sing You are my genre X4 You are my genre I’m playing in C Because it’s the easiest key Does that make me a little bit lazy? This guitar’s yours, Bought it from a charity store You are my genre x6 You are my genre I’m playing in C Because it’s the easiest key Does that make me a little bit lazy? Naomi Johnson Music 2014 ©

VERSE 1 I could say that I'm the only one for you But you know that's a lie Cos you’re such a great guy You are everything VERSE 2 I could say that I've been loosing sleep over you Ill be blunt that's not true But while I sleep I dream of you I dream of you PRE-CHORUS If we get together like the freckles on my hands that you held when we last danced I'll hold on forever CHORUS So can I be in your fairytale and we can turn a new page Cos every story has to start somewhere VERSE 3 I could say that it was love when I met you But we just became friends I though that was the end But you're always on my mind VERSE 4 So I will say that I'm just happy to know you Cos your such a great guy And I'm guessing that's why There's someone else for you CHORUS So can I be in your fairytale and we can turn a new page Cos every story has to start somewhere So let me be in your fairytale and we can start a new age In a land far away Intro times 2 BRIDGE But I can try harder Though I won't change who I am Cos I've been here longer So I hope you understand That I can try harder Though I won't change who I am Cos I've been here longer yeahhhh CHORUS So can I be in your fairytale and we can turn a new page Cos every story has to start somewhere So let me be in your fairytale and we can start a new age In a land far away x3 Naomi Johnson Music © 2014

INTRO AHHH X2 VERSE Why do they tell you that love is all you need? When I’ve loved you for years now but still you can’t see That I’m running out of reasons to fake that same smile I tried to be patient but it wasn’t worthwhile PRE-CHORUS But You walked away So now I can say CHORUS Silence laughter No smiles here after My blue skies turn to grey Don’t say it’ll be fine I’ve heard that time to time Don’t lead my feelings astray Just let my tears fall like rain VERSE 2 Then they tell you there’s other fish in the sea But what if I’m a clown fish and I’m not funny I stutter, I stumble I get my words wrong So I write them all down and I finish the song PRE-CHORUS You walked away So now I can say CHORUS Oh Silence laughter No smiles here after My blue skies turn to grey Don’t say it’ll be fine I’ve heard that time to time Don’t lead my feelings astray Just let my tears fall like rain AHHH X2 BRIDGE Was a blind sighted dreamer Had me wrapped around your finger And you played me like a man plays his cards Still I would linger The line getting thinner from Making or breaking my heart PRE-CHORUS You walked away So now I can say CHORUS Oh Silence laughter No smiles here after My blue skies turn to grey Don’t say it’ll be fine I’ve heard that time to time Don’t lead my feelings astray Just let my tears fall like Silence laughter No smiles here after My blue skies turn to grey Don’t say it’ll be fine I’ve heard that time to time Don’t lead my feelings astray Just let my tears fall like rain Let my tears fall like rain Just let my tears fall like rain Naomi Johnson Music © 2014

I'll Miss 04:13
lyrics

VERSE Fingertips Holding onto memories Broken bits You are my only remedy A silent phone Knowing that you’ll never call Just alone Believing that I’ve lost it all PRE-CHORUS I could sit by the window and watch the rainfall But I know that wont change anything at all I seam to remember and I thought I recall Before you left, you said to me CHORUS I’ll miss the way your smile shines like the sun I’ll miss the way you’d write me stupid songs I’ll miss the way we’d dance, when the radio was on To tell the truth, I’m already missing you VERSE 3 You’ve disappeared It’s like somebody rubbed you out I need you here To tell me what it’s all about VERSE 4 Like autumn leaves My heart is spinning round and round Come back to me I need the soul mate I had found PRE-CHORUS I could sit by the window and watch the rainfall But I know that wont change anything at all I seam to remember and I thought I recall Before you left, you said to me CHORUS I’ll miss the way your smile shines like the sun I’ll miss the way you’d write me stupid songs I’ll miss the way we’d dance, when the radio was on To tell the truth, I’m already missing you BRIDGE I go back to that night Where you held me so tight And everything was alright ALTERNATIVE CHORUS I’d miss that you compare me to the sun And I miss the way you’d sing my stupid songs And I miss the way we’d dance, but now the music has gone To tell the truth, CHORUS I’ll miss the way your smile shines like the sun I’ll miss the way you’d write me stupid songs I’ll miss the way we’d dance, when the radio was on To tell the truth, Naomi Johnson Music © 2014

If I Could 03:48
lyrics

Because you’re here you made it clear That we would go through this together Hundreds of tears these thirteen years But we’re still holding on A hospital bed with fears in my head Nobody telling me the answers Nothing was said my future ahead You would always keep me strong And I owe you everything You mean everything So you’d say I would do it for you If I could I would do it for you Ive always wished I could. As I would ask why and we would both cry As I had done nothing to deserve this Soon I realize from deep inside That my dreams could still come true And I’d be ashamed and sometimes unnamed Like I was different from the others And I’d feel the pain and carry the blame but all the time loving Id take away the pain I’d take away the blame id stop your tears from streaming And the last thing I will say ill tell you everyday little girl never stop dreaming And I owe you everything And you, you mean everything I would do it for you If I could I would do it for you Ive always wished I could.
