NEEDTOBREATHE - "NO EXCUSES (Acoustic Live)" [Official Video] chords
Start Jamming...
We just released a record about a year ago called Hard [G#] Love.
[D]
[A]
[D] When we first started writing [F#] songs for that record, we went to this mountain house to get away
and wrote what was going to [A] be the record and kind of got the [D] vibe of what it was going to be and all that.
And right towards the end, I had the song in the morning.
I just like, you know, started playing when I first woke up.
And [A] Bo comes running down and he's like, hey, [G] what is that?
You know, we got to do that.
And [Am] we probably wrote and recorded the song in an hour maybe.
[D] And [A] that never happens.
[G] We're kind of like a year song sort [A] of band.
And [D] we're longer for real.
And [A] and all these songs are about the band for the most part.
I [G] don't feel like we're teaching anybody.
We feel like trying [D] to relate.
And this was no [A] different, except that I wrote the song back to me.
