The lyrics always come first for me and then the melody will kick in and I adjust lyrics to fit melody. It all happens in my head before I ever pick up a guitar. I know it is kinda ass backwards but that is just how it happens to me. I will wake up out of a dead sleep and have a song running through my head, go to my music room and write the lyrics, throw some chords to it go back to bed and get up in the morning and listen to (if recorded) or read what I did / wrote the night before.
