Chasing Stars - Jenny Biddle 

Here's a bit of a a light-hearted country-roots flavoured song for you.
I've resurrected this old tune from my 2012 and 2013 albums, but this version is it's own thing (I'm not sure exactly what is happening in the solo but it's fun to play around with). The lyrics came from the realisation I wasn't living in the present - either worrying about the future or dwelling on the past.
I'm using an alternate guitar tuning (DADF#AD - capo 6). Perhaps one day we will embark on alternate tunings in our Patreon guitar sessions.

Lyrics:
Sometimes I wish just a little too much
You know I’m caught in my dreams, I can never get enough
I know I try to climb a little too high
I won’t let myself stop till I’m touching the sky
But if I’m not chasing stars I’m living in the past
I’ve gotta find myself a way to thank God for this fine day
If I’m not chasing stars I’m wishing my life away
Sometimes I think a little too hard
I love stirring up the pot, churning up my past
And I still see pictures and memories
Oh how they haunt me, it’s no surprise this body don’t sleep
But if I’m not chasing stars I’m living in the past
I’ve gotta find myself a way to thank God for this fine day
If I’m not chasing stars I’m wishing my life away
Some wise words were whispered in my ear
“You won’t be happy there, if you’re not happy here”
We’re in the now
Right now...
But if I’m not chasing stars I’m living in the past
I’ve gotta find myself a way to thank God for this fine day
If I’m not chasing stars I’m wishing my life away"I wish that you would see me. Am I really here"
