Fresh ink. I was commenting on a post when I wrote this title/hook and soon there was a lyric. It wrote itself, well just about.


Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained

If you don't want a broken heart
Lock it in a box
Or hide it in a dresser drawer
Under all your socks
Cause if you believe in love
Someday you will fall
You can't win another's
If you don't give your all

Nothing ventured---------------------------} Chorus
Nothing gained
You won't feel the pleasure
If you don't risk the pain
Once your heart has broken
You say never again but
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained

Turnaround 4 bars

I have lost at love
More times than I can say
But each time I arise
To face another day
I know nothings better
When two hearts beat as one
I won't give up on love
Till all my days are done

Nothing ventured---------------------------} Chorus
Nothing gained
You won't feel the pleasure
If you don't risk the pain
Once your heart has broken
You say never again but
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained

Instrumental Break 8 Bars


Nothing ventured---------------------------} Chorus
Nothing gained
You won't feel the pleasure
If you don't risk the pain
Once your heart has broken
You say never again but
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained

Nothing Ventured
Nothing Gained
