“Tangled Up In You” Lyrics and music by Chet Nichols Copyright 2009/2016 by Chet Nichols & Magic Garage Music (ASCAP) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED chetnichols@aol.com :: http://www.chetnichols.net VERSE ONE: The first time I saw you I could have turned and run But a voice said, “Stick around and have a little fun.” Was that just a big mistake Or some foolish hope? Before I could ask your name You had me on the ropes CHORUS: I looked around and I was in the middle A web was spinning There was no escape And it did not take too long before I knew I was tangled up in you. VERSE TWO We drifted to the dance floor And fought the urge to kiss Our bodies screaming, “Just let go and give into the bliss” I inhaled your perfume Like some forbidden drug Then your eyes whispered, “Are we falling in love?” CHORUS: How could this be Love happening so fast? Our hearts were racing We were losing control And it did not take too long before we knew You were tangled up, too BRIDGE Now, when love comes at first sight It can last for just one night But we’ve gone on for years Dancing thru the tears Entangled in our lives CHORUS I looked around and we’re both in the middle Of a life that’s simple Loving and sweet And there ‘s nothing that could make me be untrue I’m still tangled up in you

"Six Feet Under" Lyrics and Music by Chet Nichols Copyright by Chet Nichols (ASCAP) & Magic Garage Music (ASCAP) http://www.chetnicholsmusic.com * chet@chetnichols.net ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Verse 1 I was buried But still alive So many troubles filling up my life Claustrophobic My cries unheard Till I summoned all the strength I had to rise up out of the dirt Chorus I was six feet under Entombed deep beneath my doubts I was six feet under Till I found the faith to dig my way out Verse 2 I was drowning Blinded by the dark Till I saw a bolt of lightening strike the fears inside my heart Illumination I could suddenly see And I summoned all the hope I had and got back on my feet Chorus I was six feet under Entombed deep beneath my doubts I was six feet under Till I found the faith to dig my way out Bridge I was cold I was in pain Living inside a self-inflicted grave I believed I was reaching the end Till I found I held the passion to fuel my resurrection Repeat Chorus

CHORUS Paradise In my arms Smiling times On a beach in Malibu Paradise is here Near the open sea and me Not on "The Avenues" Here's Paradise VERSE 2 But, I'm confused Back 'n forth In and out I hardly see your face Paris clubs The New York scenes The photos show you Dancing the night away You're living in my mind You never spend the day Oh, you're always "on your way" Between the movies and the rhymes You're here to disappear I wish you'd only stay, in....

“The Secrets Of Life” **************************************** Lyrics and Music by Chet Nichols Copyright 2002 by Chet Nichols/ Magic Garage Music (ASCAP) Please contact: Chet Nichols, 723 Greenwood Road, Northbrook, Il 60062 Phone: {310} 386-3636 Cell VERSE 1. Why do plates stay on the table? How do planes float across the sky? Why do flowers bloom in Springtime? Why do people live a life only to pass bye? VERSE 2. Why are some so rich and famous While others struggle to get by? Why do some understand persistence While others give up after the first try? CHORUS The secrets of life The secrets of life They are hiding, but they’re not too hard to find, yeah, yeah, yeah… The secrets of life The secrets of life Are waiting if you only take the time BRIDGE How can we share this common condition Yet, be so far apart in what we believe? What’s happened to the spiritual connection That supposedly flows thru you and me? REPEAT CHORUS VERSE 3. Why do fear and selfishness preclude Every chance we have to share charity in this life we’re passing through? Why don’t we seize the chances to find The magnificent potential living in our hearts and minds? REPEAT CHORUS They’re waiting They’re waiting They’re waiting

“Smother You” Lyrics and music by Chet Nichols (ASCAP) Copyright 2016/2008/1975 by Chet Nichols/Magic Garage Music (ASCAP) www.chetnichols.net * chetnichols@aol.com Tuning: ebbebe VERSE ONE New confusions have left you here Thoughts are blurred and unclear Dreams once held so near Have begun to disappear So, let them fly to the wind Someone new will take them in Someone new will be their friend CHORUS And what about my ears? And what about my mouth? And what about my gentle touch Helps to warm your darkened nights? I’ll help you fight your fears And hold you through the bouts That love to draw you in the ring And smother you with doubt VERSE ONE Mix reservation With the feelings that we’ve had Add the frustration Of a world that has gone bad Still we must keep on churning We must move right along There is no returning That’s yesterday’s song CHORUS And what about my ears? And what about my mouth? And what about my gentle touch Helps to warm your darkened nights? I’ll help you fight your fears And hold you through the bouts That love to draw you in the ring And smother you And smother me And smother you And smother me And smother you

Chorus Goodbye, usually means goodbye When lovers don’t talk it through and give love one more try What could be worse than losing a lover and best friend? Goodbye seems so final When your love is a downhill climb And goodbye really means goodbye Verse 2 I know I can see you anytime On the hall of pictures framed inside my mind I can smell the roses in those photos But they only fuel the questions burning deep inside my soul....why does.... Chorus Goodbye, usually means goodbye When lovers don’t talk it through and give love one more try? What could be worse than losing a lover and best friend? Goodbye seems so final When your love is a downhill climb And goodbye really means goodbye Bridge I pulled into a Texaco to place another call It only took a moment for your “hello” to say it all In an instant, my heart was sailing down the road Through your tears you told me, all I needed to know ..... that..... Chorus. Goodbye, doesn’t have to mean goodbye When lovers talk it through and give love one more try What could be worse than losing a lover and best friend? Goodbye seems so final When your love is a downhill climb But, goodbye, doesn’t mean goodbye Oh, I knew we could I do it If we only talked through it Because goodbye doesn’t mean goodbye Doesn’t mean goodbye Doesn’t mean goodbye

“Bernadelle” Lyrics and Music by Chet Nichols Copyright 2012 by Chet Nichols (ASCAP)& Magic Garage Music (ASCAP) www.chetnicholsmusic.com :: chet@chetnichols.net ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 1. He sailed a silver steamer across the sea Then caught a train to Paris to photographing memories Painted scenes on sidewalks melting in the rain Led to ships along the shoreline drifting on the Seine And she was there The vision from a dream Singing ‘neath her parasol Aboard her ship of dreams To her the river was an endless wishing well That’s where he met Bernadelle CHORUS: Bernadelle was a muse And her music was the magic that she used She spent each moment painting songs Mixing words and melodies as they ’d drift along 2. A world of instruments filled her salon Tools for their inspiration, they would play from dusk till dawn They spent that summer sailing thru the motherlands Writing songs and painting stories acting like good friends But, they were more Than actors in a scene Surrounded by the sights and sounds Aboard her ship of dreams That’s when her river became his wishing well And he fell in love with Bernadelle CHORUS Bernadelle was his muse And her music was the magic that she used To weave a warm, enchanting spell Till he let go and finally fell into her wishing well Their love’s a story they still tell Of blending words and melodies as they sailed upon their wishing well Bernadelle

“The Love I Want To Show ” Lyrics & Music by Chet Nichols Copyright 2011 by Chet Nichols/Magic Garage Music (ASCAP) chet@chetnichols.net :: http://www.chetnichols.net Verse One Its taken time to sort things out But, now it’s clear what my life is about What’s been missing for me is the love I want to show I vow to give all that I can To make a difference and take a stand Against old habits that hide the love I want to show Lift I swear from this moment to love a different way Because if I don’t, how will I rise above the mistakes I have made? Chorus I have learned to open my heart Tear down the walls that keep my love from getting out I’ll swing open the door for the love I want to show Musical Bridge Verse Two The world outside loves to pretend That I’ll be hurt if I change my direction But I’ll put a fight for the love I want to show Lift How strong can my love be if I’m too afraid? To make the changes I need to and keep the new promises I’ve made Chorus I have learned to love myself So I’ll be ready to love somebody else I’ll swing open the door for the love I want to show I’ll swing open the door for the love I want to show
