Hi, I'm Sophie! I wrote this song for my friends - Pudding, Chloe, and Kimmy - as well as all my friends in this community. Thank you all for everything you've done for me, and I only hope to repay your love in kind. The chords for this song are simply: G, D, Am, C. It ends on a single G. It's incredibly easy to learn, if you want to get into ukulele. Lyrics: There was a time when I was nineteen I spent every waking moment at my computer screen I thought I was alone Too proud or scared to show it You came to save a damsel And you didn’t even know it Now I’m safer than I’ve ever been I’m safer, yes it’s true You’ve written me a fairy tale With words I never knew And you might ask me why I bother Doing what I do Well you’ve built a better me So I’ll build a better world For you There was a time when I was twenty-four I spent hours writing essays and shutting every door I thought I found myself Within a vision of the future You came and made a friend Before you ever even knew her Now I’m surer than I’ve ever been I’m surer, yes it’s true You’ve held my hand through thunder storms And led me to the blue And you might ask me why I bother Doing what I do Well you’ve built a better me So I’ll build a better world For you There was a time when I was twenty-eight I wrapped up everything I’m worth into the things that I create I thought I was important With my love of rhyme and writing You came in need of nothing more Than a girl who’s too inviting Now I’m kinder than I’ve ever been I’m kinder, yes it’s true You’ve shown me authenticity Wasn’t something I outgrew And you might ask me why I bother Doing what I do Well you’ve built a better me So I’ll build a better world For you There was a time when I was thirty-two I sang a song that I made up last week in front of all you I don’t know what I’m doing I sometimes think I’m worthless But you all gave me a platform You all gave me a purpose Now I’m trying more than I’ve ever tried I’m trying, yes it’s true To reconnect the ends of all The love that’s gone askew And you might ask me why I bother Doing what I do Well you’ve built a better me So I’ll build a better world For you ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
