So far, I've written 3 songs. 2 of which I actually consider good. But what happens with me is I'll mess around and find some really good chords. And then like 3 weeks later I think of some lyrics that work, and I sit down and start messin' with it. When I'm done it's usually finished. If not completely finished it just needs some minor adjustments.

So with me I find the chords first, and then the lyrics follow. I've never had it done the other way. I'm sure it's different with other people. You'll find what works best for you. :)
