How many times have I gotta try Keep getting nowhere Holding it all down inside Don’t know why I try Every time I see you I gotta hold you I gotta feel you I gotta tell you how I love you Oh I do But I keep forgetting you gotta love me too I feel like such a fool for loving you (Chorus) I’m a fool for lovin’ you I’m a fool for lovin’ you I’m a fool for lovin’ you I keep on waiting I keep on hoping To see your heart and to hear you say how much you need me And that you love me too But the words never come Don’t know what to do I feel like such a fool for loving you Chorus (Yes, a fool) Solo Baby I feel so lost in you I wonder what to do, I feel a fool Chorus (Such a fool) Chorus (I’m a fool)

Some folks are born made to wave the flag Oh, they're red, white and blue And when the band plays "Hail to the chief" Oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no senator's son, son It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no furtunate one, no Some folks are born silver spoon in hand Lord, don't they help themselves, Lord? But when the taxman comes to the door Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one, no Yeah-yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes Oh, they send you down to war And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?" Oh, they only answer, "More, more, more, more" It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no military son, son, Lord It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one, one It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one, no, no, no It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate son, no, no, no It ain't me, it ain't me...

Dumped again, my heart ripped apart like a condom wrapper on grad night I remember it like it was yesterday, Kathy and I were going to last forever I loved her, she loved me, nothing could have been better But pretty quick the music stopped and I was left without a chair You know, I thought she said she’d never leave me, I thought she said she’d always love me I remember going over to her house crying “Baby I love you, please don’t leave me” But she didn’t care, she just looked at me and said: You’re a nice guy but… It’s not you, it’s me You’re a nice guy but … you can do better than me You’re a nice guy but… I’m just a little confused You’re a nice guy but… I want to date other people You’re a nice guy but… you’re just a friend I learned two things about breaking up that weekend The first, Tequila kills the pain, and the second, country songs were written by guys like me But I moved on, I grew up, I met Melissa She came, she went, she said: You’re a nice guy but… It’s not you, it’s me You’re a nice guy but … you can do better than me You’re a nice guy but… I’m just a little confused right now You’re a nice guy but… I want to date other people You’re a nice guy but… you’re just a friend Now, a couple of weeks ago I met Shelley at the local meet market She didn’t have much to sell, but I was a desperate buyer Couple of weeks after meeting Shelley, I met Danielle Shelley was nice, but Danielle was everything I’ve always wanted in a girl Soft, sweet, pretty, with legs that could crush my head like a grape Now, I didn’t know what to do with Shelley, me and her just wanted different things She wanted me, I wanted Danielle I didn’t want to hurt her, so I went with what works: You’re a nice girl but… It’s not you, it’s me baby You’re a nice girl but… you can do better than me You’re a nice girl but…I’m just a little confused You’re a nice girl but…I want to date other people You’re a nice girl but … you’re just a friend You’re a nice girl but…I didn’t want to hurt you, I had to You’re a nice girl but… I’m thinking of your needs You’re a nice girl but…we tried to make it work You’re a nice girl but…you just need to find yourself You’re a nice girl but … we’re much better friends than lovers You’re a nice girl but… I just need a break from us You’re a nice girl but… we’ve grown apart You’re a nice girl but…it was never really meant to be You’re a nice girl but … you’re just a friend

Tender Years 03:53
I remember that summer night You held my hand so tight The breeze was warm and the summer was ours to hold You looked into my heart Nothing could tear us apart Now I dream of that summer I felt so long ago Those were tender years Filled with tender tears Lost in the arms of love that wouldn’t let go Tender years Now have tender fears Torn by the love I feel and the love I know I always wish it away That beach on Labour Day I can still hear the waves breakin’ up on the shore You said that we were through How I begged and pleaded with you But the sun still set now my heart it yearns for more Those were tender years Filled with tender tears Lost in the arms of love that wouldn’t let go Tender years Now have tender fears Torn by the love I feel and the love I know Hearts are torn on a cool September night Innocent love is always held too tight Those were tender years Filled with tender tears Lost in the arms of love that wouldn’t let go Tender years Now have tender fears Torn by the love I feel and the love I know Lost in a dream of love that won’t let go

Summer looks so good on you The sunshine and your smile it comes through The days on the beach and the nights I share with you Makes me want to hold you the whole year through That’s how much I love you baby and everything you do Summer looks so good on you Summer makes me drift away Endless starry nights and sun-kissed days Hearts afire with the August sun You hold my dreams I know you are the one That’s how much I love you baby and everything you do Summer looks so good on you That’s how much I love you baby and everything you do Summer looks so good on you Summer - Looks so good on you Summer - I know you love me too Summer - Looks so good on you Summer - I share it all with you That’s how much I love you baby I know you love me too Summer looks so good on you

The year I turned 17 was the year that I was told to dream Where my life would go and what I’d find But I was dreaming long ago and they told me I had to let it go It was born to the innocence of a youthful mind Dreams they help to keep us young and they shouldn’t be stopped by anyone Who cares what others think you’ve gotta try Those who look back to find that dreams were only nursery rhymes Have lost themselves to “once upon a time” High school can’t last forever Innocence is just a state of mind Those who look to days gone by regret the things they did not try Aged by the bitter hope for a different time So many years sped on by, my life has changed 1000 times Everything and nothing is now mine I’m not as young as I thought I’d be but I keep a certain virginity Innocence and youth are in the mind High school can’t last forever Innocence is just a state of mind Those who look to days gone by regret the things they did not try Aged by the bitter hope for a different time High school can’t last forever Innocence is just a state of mind Those who look to yesteryear always seem to shed a tear Aged by the lost hope for another time

I'm So Tired 02:50
I don’t want to move and I can’t get out of bed The little bit of sleep I get is all that ever clears my head Feeling sick, feeling scared, feeling like I just don’t care I got a one-way ticket on a train that goes nowhere I’m so tired, so tired, so tired I’m so tired, so tired, so tired I don’t know what to do, I can’t keep going on this way The only thing I want to do is sleep away every day I scream, and I scream, and I scream for some peace of mind Everything I don’t do tears me all up inside I’m so tired, so tired, so tired I’m so tired, so tired, so tired I’m so tired I’m so tired I’m so tired And I’m wired I’m so tired Oh so tired I’m so tired I’m so tired I’m so tired And I’m wired I’m so tired, give me some sleep I’m so tired, I need some peace I’m so tired, please- please- please I’m so tired

In these troubled times we all need a place to go Somewhere to feel free To leave behind the pain and sorrow we've come to know That's where we all want to be But time keeps moving on and we feel trapped inside Scared of what we may or may not find Through the edge of darkness we hear a sound With lives on the line our dreams are found With Hope With Love Dreams can come true

about

Rich Chambers Vancouver, British Columbia

Rich Chambers' music is kind of retro, but not really. It has hints of country, but it isn't country. It is a little bit pop and also a little bit modern rock. In a nutshell, to describe his music in one phrase, it's Rock n' Roll Reimagined!!
