Hi!! I wrote some lyrics last night before going to bed. Hoping someone could add some music such as chords to my lyrics. Thnks!!

THERE IS NO TOMORROW

[VERSE 1]
Chills run down my spine
The blood, the horror and the disgust
These are reminisces that are left behind
All I can do is to adjust

[CHORUS]
The world we live in is infested with pain
The people on the streets cry out for sorrow
I walk out in the darkness through the rain
No matter living or dead, there is no tomorrow

[VERSE 2]
The overwhelming cries of forgotten babies
Left alone without their mommies
All I hear are the many maybes
That I can feed their starving tummies

[CHORUS]

[VERSE 3]
Babies cry and teenagers scream
Their bones creak, they feel the rush
I try to get out of this painful dream
There is nothing, everything is a mush

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
This is the world continuously down
Can only be left alone, it's only something I've found

i love it, and i cant put 'cords' to it so to speak because i dont play an instrument, but when i come on this site and read everyones songs I always start singing them with any random tune that comes out of my head, and i cant believe what i came up with for this song. It's probably my favourite outcomes, great job on the lyrics :D

I know it wasn't reason,
That made me do what wasn't right
but sometimes my heart falls prone
to the nature of your spite.

k, i'm thinking more along the lines of power chords, maybe a little picking for the verses. now i just need to know the rhythm too bad its almost impossible to tell online, fast or slower punk-rock song?

power chords sound good... im thinking more on the line of like the song "Scars" by Papa Roach... its like medium speed and not too much heavy distortion type of thing..something easy to play

You know, I think this song would sound kind of cool if sung in the same style as Pearl Jam's "Do the Evolution". I don't know why .. but that's what kept popping into my head. Maybe not as fast .. but a real good driving rhythm. Possibly even a drone. Just two or three chords played through the entire song, and palm mute the verses. Dunno .. just thinking. I'll try it out tomorrow and see what I come up with. :)

Also, the only things I didn't like about the song were a couple choices in vocabulary. Tummies and mush. Don't like those one bit .... to me it makes the song seem sort of childish. Which it is not. Keep up the writing, dude.

k, i got a question, do you play guitar or what? cause like i've come up with music and stuff. but i can't record it so i'm hoping you have a guitar. i'll post the power chords here anyway just in case you play. i really like what i put with it, it's really cool sounding.
VERSE: (Just mess around with what strum pattern you like)

|-10-10-10-10--3-3-3--5-5-5---|
|--8---8--8--8---1-1-1--3-3-3---|
CHORUS: (Same here just mess around)
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-9-9-9-9--7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5---8-8-8-8--6-6-6-6--4-4-4-4--| Repeat Once
|-9-9-9-9--7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5---8-8-8-8--6-6-6-6--4-4-4-4--|
|-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3---6-6-6-6--4-4-4-4--2-2-2-2--|

|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|
|-7-7-7-7--3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5--| Repeat Once After Vocals
|-7-7-7-7--3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5--|
|-5-5-5-5--1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3--|

There ya go... i like the sound of it. just mess around with the settings on your amp to get the sound you want. i play it on acoustic so i couldn't put any distortion on it whatsoever. see ya

sorry, i made that a little more difficult than i had to. with the power chord on the 10th and 8th frets, you just move that down to the 5th and 3rd frets like this and it sounds exactly the same and is not as hard:

|-------|
|-------|
|-5----|
|-5-----|
|-3-----|
|-------|

just mess around with it till you get the sound you want. with the 10-8 or the lower 5-3 power chords, you strum that one longer than the 3-1 and higher 5-3, then with the 9-7, 7-5, 5-3 you strum each chord four times with a down stroke each time. then the 8-6, 6-4, 4-2 you strum each chord four times each with a down stroke. Hopefully that explains it better. just mess around with it. The chords sound good with the melody i had in mind, maybe not with yours i don't know. hopefully i explained it to some extent.
