Thoughts

This is a song I just wrote while in the shower. I need to figure out a way to strum the chords so that I'm not ripping off Weezer and Tom Petty too hard, and I might also need to figure out a better way to sing it so that I'm not ripping off the Beatles too hard either, but maybe that's unavoidable.

It goes G/Em/C/D every two lines and then alternating D and two variations of D (open the little E string and then 3rd fret the little E string) for the chorus.

Thoughts are drifting through the air
Like dust across the sunlight streaming
Through an open window that I'm
Looking out unto below

The people are just smiling with their
Secret thoughts and private lives
They live together, far apart
All thinking the same thing

The sun is shining
The sun is shining

My mind gets bigger every time
I see you sitting, reading your book
Mouthing words like poetry and
Sitting under a big tree

They told me when I was a boy
The universe is still expanding
I'm afraid that I don't care
Because I only know one thing

The sun is shining
The sun is shining
