Problems to Solve by Tim Seston We’ve got some work to do / I know (C - - G) We’ve got this thing we need / to solve (GC - G) So grab your wits, and let’s think it through (GC - G) It’s time that you and I evolve. (GDm GC) Our friendship is in a rocky place (Dm - G) I don’t know what I should do (Dm C G -) You say all you want is to make it all right (F – Dm) But why should I start trusting you (G – G7) I know how you feel - I have been there before And I know that I’ve made you upset But let me tell you that deep in my core I’m worthy of you . . . but not yet It takes some trial (F) It takes some error (C) It takes time to learn what it’s all about (G - C) It takes revision (F) It takes new ideas (C) It takes patience to figure it out. (G G7 C) We’ve got some work to do / I know We’ve got this thing we need / to solve So grab your wits, and let’s think it through It’s time that you and I evolve. I’ll give it a try, let me sit here a while Let me think about what you have said I know all you want is to make it all right There’s so much going on in my head Thank you for listening that’s all I can ask Now I know that this is not the end Yes, let me tell you that deep in my core I’m worthy of you . . . my dear friend It takes some trial It takes some error It takes time to learn what it’s all about It takes revision It takes new ideas It takes patience to figure it out. We’ve got some work to do / I know We’ve got this thing we need / to solve So grab your wits, and let’s think it through It’s time that you and I evolve. And I know we can figure this out. |
is meant to stand on its own. In this song we have two voices. One is trying to persuade, the other has felt betrayed. Is compromise a possibility? Is solving the problem good for both parties? The context of this particular story isn't available in the song but rather will work its way out in the dialogue on stage. The song itself is meant to highlight the type of situation that happens regularly in our day to day lives. It is fun to think about the bigger picture when crafting a story. |
