Description
This was originally recorded on my Blackberry's Voice Notes application, then converted to MP3 format. I wrote the music and lyrics in 2010 and the performance consists of me playing my acoustic guitar and singing into my Blackberry without any microphones or amplification. It was recorded in my apartment's bathroom because I am deaf since childhood in one ear and I can hear myself better in there.

IN THIS PLACE Music & Lyrics by John Asher © Copyright September 2, 2009 by John Vaughan Asher Verse 1 E(6) E E(6) I’ve been waiting such a long time long time Am(3) E E(6) And I know that you’re still - still mine Am(6) Am3 E But I wonder if I’m ever going to see the sunshine E(11) E On your face - In this place Verse 2 Am(3) E (E)6 Every day of the week just seems to drift on by E(4) A But the nighttime is the hardest E(4) A E When I reach for you – but you’re not here CHORUS E(6) E E(6) I don’t want to spend another night in this place E(11) E There’s gotta be a way to escape E(6) E E(6) E(11) E Somehow - Some way Somewhere - someplace E(6) E E(6) Gotta find myself some new space Verse 3 Am(3) E E(6) That night you left seems like yesterday E(4) A E(4) A And if I could ring you now – well I’d be on the phone E(6) E E(6) But the lines they don’t reach to that zone E(6) E E(6) {REPEAT CHORUS and add final line: ‘Gotta get myself outta this place}
