Been going through the later Elliott Smith albums lately, more specifically 'From a Basement on the Hill'.
Because FABOTH was released posthumously I didn’t have very high expectations because posthumously released albums are usually not great. But man. He was truly a one of a kind.
It is so fleshed out, and I absolutely love the direction Elliott was going. The first line in this song hit me like a ton of bricks. The lyrics and his flips to falsetto in this song is so fricking beautiful man.

Exam times right now! So felt good to take a break and get my mind off it. I have a couple ideas to record after exams when I get home for Christmas! :)
Take care guys, chords and lyrics below!

Lyrics:
Haven't laughed this hard in a long time
I better stop now before I start crying
Go off to sleep in the sunshine
I don't want to see the day when it's dying
She's a sight to see, she's good to me
I'm already somebody's baby
She's a pretty thing and she knows everything
But I'm already somebody's baby
You don't deserve to be lonely
But those drugs you got won't make you feel better
Pretty soon you'll find it's the only
Little part of your life you're keeping together
I'm nice to you, I could make it through
That you're already somebody's baby
I could make you smile if you stayed a while
But how long will you stay with me baby
