Greg,

Thanks for the great site. I’ve learned a fair number of songs from
cowpie andI wanted to contribute one I recently figured out on my own.
This is the chord progression for Phil Vassar’s “Somewhere in Between”
which appears on his new CD “Phil Vassar.” It’s track number 10.
There’s a lot of nice piano and fiddle on it so readers will have to
throw some extra variations on top of the progression if they want the
song to sound “full.” I like to walk the C chord down into the Am chord
for example.

Regards,

Justin

Phil Vassar – Somewhere in between

—————————————————–

Verse 1:

Sometimes I forget that I remember

Sometimes I hold on then I let go

Sometimes I fight then I surrender

Losing you’s been harder than you’ll ever know…

I’m just caught here halfway there

I’m hanging in mid-air…

Chorus:

Somewhere in between

In the middle of the darkness and the light

All I can see is the hazy grey

Between the black and white

I’m not laughin’ I’m not cryin’

I’m not livin’ I’m not dyin’

I’m not flyin’ and I’m not down on my knees

Till I’m over you I’m gonna be stuck

somewhere in between

verse 2:

Funny thing about your memory

Is how it takes me by surprise

Suddenly it sneaks up on me

comes around and cuts me down to size

There’s a crossroad up ahead

I’m just not there yet

Back to Chorus

CHOURUS:
Ooh la la la la la
Looking good Carlene
Woh my my my my my
Times been good to you
If you know what I mean
Girl you glitter like Hollywood
Good gosh Carlene
You sure are lookin good

VERSE 2:
She said, “Hop in let’s go for a spin
Tell me whatcha been doing boy and where you been”
I said, “I write songs, you probably didn’t know, but I
Finally got a couple out on country radio”
She said, “What a switch, ain’t life funny, I’ve got a
Ph.D now I’m modeling for money.”
Imagine little miss 4 point 0 just
Smiling for the camera on the cover of Vogue
I said, “You’ve come a long way since graduation, let me say without
reservation
You’ve surpassed everyone’s expectations”

Pre-Chourus:

I said, “I hope to see you again someday”
She said, “Another ten years is too long to wait
Pick me up at my momma’s at eight”

I said…

CHORUS

::Verse #1::




Said the cloud to the sun, “Today’s no time to shine”
Didn’t you know she’s gone
Said the rain to the moon, “You’re not needed tonight”
Didn’t you know she’s gone
You can keep your magical moments we don’t need’em ‘round here
::Chorus::
Didn’t you know she’s gone by now
I thought you’d have figured it out
Can’t you please forget her and just move on
Didn’t you know she’s gone

::Verse #2::


Said the tear to the pillow, ”Watch out I’m ready to fall”
Didn’t you know she’s gone
Said the pillow to the tear, ”That ain’t gonna help at all”
Didn’t you know she’s gone
“Why do you insist upon crying, what’s the matter with you”

::Repeat Chorus::

::Bridge::
Said myse[Emin/D]lf to me, “Hey man why can’t you see
She’s h[G/B]istory, she’s gone and she ain’t comin’ back”

::Verse #3::



Said the mirror to the man, “Take a good look at yourself”
Didn’t you know she’s gone
Said the man to the mirror a few choice words to x
Didn’t you know she’s gone
Talk about a revelation, right between the eyes

::Repeat Chorus::
::Repeat Chorus::
