- Uploaded from Life With John Mayer on Sirius XM, I don't own this song and all rights go to John Mayer and Sirius XM
Song was recorded in 2014 for the Search For Everything Album but was scrapped as it was too similar to a Bob Dylan song.
Love all these unreleased gems John is unearthing.
If you wrote right now
Wonder why it wasn’t meant to be
I’d probably take the blame and say it’s me
If you wrote right now
If you wrote right now
I would talk to you in measured tones
Give you love and leave the past alone
If you wrote right now
Please be you
Please be you, come on
Please be you
If you wrote right now
Stop and hold the moment dear
I’d let you know your home is always here
If you wrote right now
If you wrote right now
I’d mouth the words “I miss you all the time”
Not go with you before you change your mind
If you wrote right now
Please be you
Please be you, come on
Please be you
If you wrote right now
I’d realize my luck ain’t all that bad
It’d be the best goodnight I ever had
If you wrote right now
Please be you
Please be you, come on
Please be you
Please be you, come on
Please be you, come on
Please be you, come on
Please be you, come on
Please be you, come on

Had to listen to a few times. The lyrics are amazing
Thanks
❤️💞❤️ Awesome thanks!
What A Great Song !!!
Sounds like Dylan's "If Not For You,"
Yeah that's why it didn't make the album.
I'm also hearing "Love Minus Zero/No Limit".
🎶💜
Oh, this should have made the album.
🥰😘
Anyone hear "if not for you" by George Harrison? Love John and the song
That’s why it didn’t make the album
I tried to figure out the chords for this song. Are they correct?
Verse:
| E | A | E | A | E | B | E |
Chorus:
| C#m | E | C#m | E | A | B | E |
The chorus would be
C#m ,E ,A ,E ,B ,E ,B ,E
This clean rhythm tone is always just out of reach for me on my deluxe reverb. Sounds fat and glorious.
This sounds around the 2012-2014ish sound he had. I bet this is his Two-Rock amp that was based off a dumble. Could be wrong but that’s what it sounds like to my ears.
Speaker swap can surprisingly make pretty drastic changes in tone too. Could always play around with that.
John I love your songs, but bro this one sounds so much like Bob Dylan's "If not for you"...hmmm
He admits that exact same thing, which is why he never released it on an album... :30 second of the video... czcams.com/video/zydtf749O00/video.html
