Tenderly True

{intimate felt piano chord,

soft ambient string pad swell,

slow emotional

build}

If there's one thing

that I remember

from this town

It's that I'm always gonna be one

to go home

And if I'm not that grateful then

who would know that I am one

to learn? {tender male vocal,

intimate breath control, warm felt piano accompaniment} So I would just run

and find a corner

And I would sing until my heart dies

Just find me, I swear

I swear I would come find you,

baby I would come and find you,

baby

If I'm not grateful

for this life then what am I?

{passionate chest voice, soaring emotional high notes,

soft acoustic guitar joins} I counted everything up

and there I go

And it's funny that you always said it's funny that I,

I, I, I

Found a corner and I swore that I would always come back

{vocal steps back into reflective breathy tone,

sparse acoustic guitar and piano}

I swear

I will always come back to

find you

I swear, I swear,

I swear, I

swear, I'm so grateful

I swear, I swear,

I swear, I swear,

I swear, I swear,

I am so grateful {building intensity,

crescendo of strings, powerful head voice}

And here we go,

I knew one day

That I would go and find something better

Tell them that I'm not

where they want me to

Want me, baby

I'm, I'm {swelling string arrangement,

triumphant but gentle handclaps and shaker} So I'd go find a corner

and swear that I would help you out

I swear I will find you someday

I swear I will find you someday I swear that it'll be

great

I swear I will find you someday

I swear that it'll all be okay

I swear that we don't have to be great

I swear that it's okay

{fading instruments, gentle whispered vocal,

single sustain piano note}
