Chords for Richard Thompson - I Misunderstood - California 2005

[G] Two-thirds to three-quarters of the work I do is actually solo. _
_ It's a lonely existence. _ _ _
But it's fun, too.
It's nice to have that relationship with the audience where _ _ you're fairly naked, you're
fairly exposed on stage, and there's nobody else to blame. _
_ _ You're walking a tightrope, really. _ _
And you might fail, and you might succeed.
And I think I enjoy that challenge.
I think a lot of solo performers will tell you the same thing.
It's great to get up there and test yourself and get nervous about it.
But actually, if you get through it, it's a great feeling of reward to do that.
I think _ _ _ _ _ _ you can certainly put lyrics across more to an audience solo.
They'll focus more on the song, what the actual song is, as opposed to what the musical experience
is with a band. _ _

[Bb] Wild nights [C] when the whole world seemed [G] to fly. _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Bb] Ain't [C] that so unique?
[Dm] When [Bb] we're together, [C] we don't have to [D] speak.
We'll [Bb] always [F] be such [C] good friends, [Dm] you [G] and _ I. _ _ _ _
