Topic: Love's Lost

Love's Lost

Intro: [Em7]  [A7]  [Am6]  [G] 

[Em7] I wonder where things went wrong, [A7] you really used to care
[Am6] It’s hard to love a person who is [G] hardly ever there
[Em7] We’d lie awake and cuddle and [A7] kiss all though the night
[Am6] Now we can’t be bothered; [G] we hardly even fight

Instrumental: [Em7]  [A7]  [Am6]  [G]

[Em7] I wonder where things went wrong
[A7] Is it something that I said?
[Am6] We hardly talk and barely kiss and [G] never share a bed
[Em7] Twenty years have passed so fast
And [A7] things are not the same
[Am6] The only thing we seem to share now [G] is the same last name

[B7] I try to make you love me, [Em] by finding things to share
[B7] But every time I try, [Em] you just don’t seem to care
[B7] I think I see the spark of love, [Em] I think that’s what I see
[B7] If only you would do something to [Em] prove your love for me

[Em7] I know I still have feelings, [A7] I hope you know I care
[Am6] I wonder why I bother, [G] you're hardy ever there.

Hi Brian,
I still can't get that "Life of Reilly" out of my head. It gives me a chuckle every time I hear it

Re: Love's Lost

I did a recording of how I hear it. Not sure about the heart beat in it.

Re: Love's Lost

I dunno - I think perhaps this song is incongruous with the ukulele.

IMO, the uke sounds far too "happy" for a lyric such as this, d'ya get what I mean? Maybe if the tempo were slower, or the strumming was a different pattern or summat.

Can you do it on guitar? I quite like the lyrics, and would like to hear it on a 6- (or even a 12-) string...

We can beat them just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day

Re: Love's Lost

I think you are right, It's a bit fast and the uke is not the best choice for playing it on, but it's the only thing I know how to play.
