I'm a freakin' songwriting addict, okay!? Unfortunately, this is ALL I had time for, so if someone wants to cover it, here is a free song(feel free to change and rearrange as needed or wanted, lyrically and/or musically). Here is what I've got:

How Much Will You Give Me?
(um, it's about a bum's life)

VERSE 1
(Em groove)
I see the sun: it shines
oh babe, this soul of mine
I barely stood up
(C-Am)
when you walked on by

I sittin' lonely..
and just a beggin'
I get by, but barely
already I've overspoke

CHORUS
(G-D-Am-C)
how much, will you give me
I lost my own living
or maybe I'm pretending
but I really gotta know..
how much, will you give me <----this part is sketchy

VERSE 2
I seem so scruffy
my clothes are torn
but when I go home
its my butt that's worn

do ya think it's easy?
being a homeless man?
sure there're tax benefits
ya know I do what I can! so...

CHORUS

BRIDGE (no music yet, have fun with it!)
i love it when you feel sorry for me
it reinforces my acting skills
we laugh & joke, then I bum a cig
oh how your contempt could kill

but I move on to the next sucker
perhaps a thoughtful tourist
it's so easy to draw on their pity
I'll always bum the way that's surist

How are you going to be able to collab on this one if you're leaving on Wed?

The song is free to use (including singing). I just wrote it. :) Feel free to do ANYTHING with it.

Peace
