LOVE ISN'T MADE
by Jon Foreman
Tabbed by: The Count of Monte Cristo
Tuning: Standard (Key of E)
The Intro and verse just goes back and forth between an E and an A chord.
It may prove useful to do this by just changing the root string... alike so...
e|--0-- --0--
B|--5-- --5--
G|--4-- --4--
D|--2-- --2--
A|--X-- --0--
E|--0-- --X--
VERSE 1:
An hour ago, I felt so low I almost drowned
Driving around this messed up town.
It's pretty, it's only, I felt so lonely
(A)
And I knew all night
I'd never find a face that could understand
How much I miss you now.
The chords used in the rest of the song are...
(Note: these are just suggested forms of the chords.
Many of them are suspended or open simply for style).
e|--0-- --0-- --0-- --0--
B|--0-- --0-- --0-- --0--
G|--4-- --2-- --9-- --4--
D|--2-- --2-- -11-- --5--
A|--2-- --0-- -11-- --5--
E|--0-- --X-- --X-- --3--
CHORUS 1:
And so I arrive at the conclusion
Love isn't made; love doesn't sell or pay,
But we buy and sell our love away.
VERSE 2 (played same way as verse 1):
Escape to the water and stare up at
The stars and moon and sky
I was lying on my back
With my fingers in the sand.
Alone in Miami, it sounds so funny
(A) E
And yet, here I am, It's funny how life
Is seldom what you plan
CHORUS 2 (also played same was as verse 1):
Don't let the panic bring you down.
And there you are, friends. I believe, at this point, Bob is indeed your uncle.
This is a great little tune and, please, do not disrespect it by
playing it on the beach and/or barefoot. Let's go ahead and try to break
the acoustic stereotype.
Keep it real.
Keep it classy.
