Breaking Down
Aug 5th 2002
A-D x2
I think I’ve proven, I can’t do this on my own
Cause I have tried and I have failed, Every time before
G#m-D/F#-G#m-F#m-E
Can you see me breaking down?
I’m beaten and bleeding
D-F#m-E x3
Give me one more chance, I can earn my keep
Wash away this pain and , Dry these tears that I weep
I can’t help myself, So I need you to step in
A-D x2
Back where I started, About six years ago
These years seem to be on replay, So the story goes
Pre Chorus
Chorus
F#m-E-D-D x4
I’m sick and tired, On and on this goes
Searching for some solace, Anything at all

Free
Late Summer 2006
Partial Capo 2nd
A-E-C#m7-B-A-E-B
A-E-B-C#m-A-E-B 2x
I could spend all day thinking up these little things
Chalk it up as such a waste of time
I could spend all my time dreaming up simple rhymes
But they don’t matter so much
A-E-C#m7-B-A-E-B
Your love is free, Your love is freeing
I could spend all night wishing that this wouldn’t end
Wrapped up in your arms so tightly
I could spend all my life trying right to satisfy you
But that don’t matter at all
Chorus
C#m7-B/Eb-E-A 4x A[4 Counts]
You want nothing in return but my love for you
You’d give anything you could to love me in return
Chorus
I could spend all I have on down to the last cent
I find it hard to believe that you just to love me [+ 4 counts]

Let Me Take You
April & July 2002
Em-Emb8-Em7-C x2
Open up your eyes. Tell me what you find.
Has it all been worthwhile?
What are all these games, You insist we must play?
You know they never solve anything.
C-C-G-D/F# [3 & 7/8 counts rest G-D/F#]
Let me take you, I can save your life
Em-Emb8-Em7-C x2
Are you lost or found, Or still just spinning ‘round?
Drowning slow but you’re still sinking.
Let’s leave this all behind. You know there comes a time,
To quit acting like a child.
C-C-G-D/F# x2 [3 & 7/8 counts G-D/F#]
Let me take you, I can save your life
You might fake it, but only for tonight
Em-Emb8-Em7-C x2
You’ve tried to save your mind. And rationalize.
But there’s just no use in trying.
You’re searching for your soul, It’s nowhere to be found
You need to look in the right spaces
Chorus
Am-G-F
Can’t you see that I could be, Everything that you could need?

No Place
A-E 2x
This is so much harder than I imagined it would be
I look in the mirror and don’t recognize me
I see a sliver of a fraction of a part of a person
Who used to see it, all so clearly…
E-E/G#-A-B
No place could you go to get you somewhere I won’t be
No thing could you do to make me let you go
A-E 2x
I see me so differently than you see me
You don’t seem to notice imperfections that torment me
My mind won’t overlook these things
I’m trapped, thinking I’m a nobody
A B/D#
[But still you look at me with love and say…]
Chorus
C#m-B/D#-A x2
And no matter how much is on your mind,
We’ll make it through in time
F#m-B/D#
I promise you I will never leave your side
A-E 2x
Your side…

Farwell Rivertown
Spring-Summer 2006/Summer 2007
G-D
Follow this muddy river around its next bend
Follow these murky waters brown with chemicals
Hail Paducah, maybe just Louisville
Or somewhere Samuel Clemens could have been
Bm-G
The horizon is so far away
With so much mystery on the way
Though it’s comfort ’as kept me here this long
F#m-Em-G-A
Now it’s time to bid my river town farewell
A-E
Past seven bridges and old Barleycorns
Past public landings filled with people and riverboats
Head down to Memphis, maybe New Orleans
Maybe there’s someplace that holds something more for me
Chorus

Brooke Trisler Seattle, Washington
I had a nomadic youth in Midwest America. I have lived on a farm, on a small island, and along the muddy banks of the Ohio
River. I like people; I love community. Taking to songwriting in my teens, I used the guitar to accompany my celebrations and struggles through lyrics and melody. I have no preference of genre, just finely crafted songs.
I moved west for inspiration. My biography is my music.
