D G They started out in a love so true like a flower they watched it bloom, D As they stood together. D G Then one night way to soon they watched it fly off to the moon, D It’s gone forever. D G Never knew how quick things change saw the sunshine turn to rain. D It’s stormy weather. D G Now they know that love and pain in many ways they’re much the same D For worse or better. G A D A/G “You shouldn’t promise anything D A D You never know What time may bring” It seemed so right but went so wrong sometimes things just don’t last long You feel like crying Is there a reason to hold on or just let go and admit its gone It’s way past dying The time has come you must decide do you stand or do you hide Maybe just start running walk away or close your eyes only you know what’s inside You can’t know what’s coming

HON Capo 2nd D Me and my baby were meant to be G A D But there are times we don’t agree D Me and my baby don’t always see G A D Eye to eye if someone’s wrong, it’s usually me G WHEN SHE SAYS HUN D A OH I WONDER WHAT I’VE DONE G WHEN SHE SAYS HUN D A D I KNOW I BETTER RUN……..FAR AWAY It’s hard to figure a woman’s mind No point in trying it’s a waste of time I may do something I thinks just fine She lets me know when I’ve crossed the line CHORUS….. WHEN SHE SAYS HUN….. I’m always sorry for everything Even though I don’t know what And she forgives me for everything And lets me know just what I’ve got CHORUS….. WHEN SHE SAYS HUN……

G D A G Then something happened, things went so wrong, So now my Baby’s, My baby’s gone.” D G I closed the door, sat on a chair D A I looked at her just laying there D G I hung my head and closed my eyes D A D It was then I died inside.

G The neighborhood I gathering ‘round, me I’d like to settle down. C G Got some things I’d like to sell, but it’s putting me through hell. D C G Oh you know I’m so confused I guess I’ve got these yard sale blues! Everything is everywhere. Maybe I just don’t care. Ask a dollar get a dime, I think it’s a waste of time. Sell some things that I don’t use. Man I’ve got these yard sale blues. C G “Yard sale blues are hanging over me. C D Yard sale blues, mama they won’t let me be.” Nothing ventured nothing gained, oh you know it is such a pain. People try to talk you down. I wonder why I hang around. Sell some shirts and all my shoes! Still I’ve got these yard sale blues.

I'm Done 04:08
The mind games you’re playing have me going insane F My heart is broken you’ve caused too much pain G You accused me, abused you treat me wrong F C It’s time I let go now, it’s time I stand strong You tell me you love me, but treat me like shit Can’t say a word without you throwing a fit I don’t understand why I continue to try When all you do is make me cry The love we had is obviously gone It’s time we let go now it’s time we move on As days go on I realize in tears That I’m now facing my biggest fear Losing your love I never thought would come true I’m hopeless now nothing else I can do If I could make us happy again I know I would But I can’t though I’ve tried more than I should I’ve run out of options don’t know what to do Nothing will ever be good enough for you Over and over I’ve tried being the one To love you and please you, but now I am done CHORUS F “ I’M DONE WITH YOUR BULLSHIT C I’M DONE WITH YOUR LIES G C I’M NO LONGER LIVING WITH TEARS IN MY EYES, NO I’M DONE! ”

about

Bruce Gallant Fort Myers, Florida

Music was always a part of my life.
Family jamborees were a constant .My Mom, uncles and numerous
relatives and friends, all sang and played music .It was just part of life for me.

I started writing songs in my late 20’s and have never stopped.
Anything of importance in my life is in one of my songs.
Writing and music are like breathing to me, they are what I need to get me through my life.
