The new song “Mythical”

Is after the jump.  It’s in a D open tuning capo’d up three.  Anybody who knows my style knows this is just plain weird. The chorus has been around for about 5 years; the tune of the verses and the new lyrics are from today… from just after I broke my mandolin.  Dang.

Mythical

Can’t say I like all that much the fool that’s in the mirror
Feelings hardly matter when the facts could not be clearer
Nor can I face the pity of my friends
Who told me they know how this story ends
Careful

Chorus
I wanted to believe X3
in you
I wanted to believe x3
in you
But like the fog when the sun comes out
when certainty replaces doubt
some things you have to live without
because they’re mythical.

I have a friend, he’s a real good guy
but he troubles me when he asks me why
the bad boys get the good girls hot
Why can’t  I have what the bad boys got
Careful

Chorus

I hung my heart where crows could feed
Wonder what I was thinking
Thought it was love but it was greed
and now my soul is sinking
You get to walk away unscathed
and I’m the one that’s stupid
I’ll get drunk on Valentine’s Day
And pick a fight with Cupid.
Careful

Chorus
