about

If I wrote this song about 6 or 5 years ago when the actual relationship happened it would have been way too personal to sing about; however, now years later I can truly pour my heart out about how in comparison to all the exes this one man comes out a winner. And because I had someone who was so close to the ideal mate I dream of finding one day and because I am not the type of girl who settles for less, this is just a hopeful song about how good men are out there, good women are out there, there is just all kinds of good out there :D.

lyrics

"My Sweet Jack"©07.31.2012 Yuliya Johnson

G7 F7
Met up at Starbucks
Tea & Lemon pie
Walking hand in hand
Talking music
That was Jack and I
Now there's a new man
Who is stealing my damaged heart
He doesn't bring me flowers
Like my sweet ex Jack

Chorus: D Amaj7
Jack, he was the best man I ever had, the best man I ever had
Jack oh Jack oh Jack
My sweet Jack
He was the best man I ever had

He brought me coffee on red lights
& carried my heavy loads
He changed my car oil &
Wrote me love notes
We made out in school halls & class
Teachers used to yell at us
But we didn't care
We were so in love, so in love

Chorus

Bridge: F#6, G6 (starting on 6th fret)
You said you'd go anywhere with me
You gave me so much energy, so much good love
Now I know you were the kind of man who truly believe in me
Lucky girl that has you now
She is blessed, so blessed
But once upon a time, you were mine

Chorus
