Barre G = bG

Four beats in a bar. The chords aren't really that close to each other. The computer just makes them like that because it doesn't register multiple spaces. C and G have their own bars but bG and F are in the same bar so: C = 4/4, G = 4/4 but bG = 2/4 and F = 2/4

Fade away:

Sometimes it feels like I'm on an adventure with you.
C G bG F
Who'd have thought that we would go all around the world?
C G bG F
And that people would turn around just to watch us go.
C G bG F
Eh, he, ah, ha.
C G bG F
Who'd have thought that a girl like you could move like that?
C G bG F
You could almost say that you remind me of a cat.

But sometimes I get this awful feeling. That all of this is just another dream.

Lately I've got this feeling that you just don't care.

Of what other people think about you, yeah.

I can't really say if it's good or not. But what I know is that you shouldn't stop.

'Cos all you wish for will come to you. You just gotta work hard to get to it.

And I really appreciate what we have here.

Well I don't really know anything about chords so I'm just going to talk about they lyrics themselves :)

This rhyme made me sigh :)
Just 'cat' in general...
I would recommed changing this rhyme. I'm not that great of a rhymer so I don't do it very often. If you really want to rhyme here I would just change it around a little.

The rhythm gets lost here for me. I can no longer feel the rhythm because the lines are so long. I would recommend breaking them up a little.

Good chorus but again, the rhythm gets a little lost for me.

I liked this line.

Rhyme:
Other than that one at the beginning, I didn't see any major rhymes that just didn't work. I thought all the lines sounded pretty good together. Just remember that songs don't have to rhyme.

Rhythm:
I couldn't really hear this song in my head and it was hard for me to feel the underlying rhythm. The verses were good on this front but some of the lines were so long compared to the rest of it and it was hard for me to hear what it was supposed to sound like. I would maybe shorten up some of these lines to make it more coeheisive.
Who knows? Maybe it all flows and sounds awesome in your head? ;)

Good start though :)
