Topic: No Regrets and No Remorse - My First Original Song

No Regrets And No RemorseWords and Music by Sean Brunskill


Play slow and sad




[G] [F#/D] [Em] [F#/D] x2




[G]The beauty you hold,


[F#/D]Is more than most,


[Em]I followed you there,


[F#/D]To be with you,


[G]No thought [F#/D]of tomorrow,


[Em]I only [F#/D]felt us.


[Em]Not like the [C]times forced,


[G]when life be-[D]comes alive,


[Em]The past will [C]move aside,


No [G]regrets and [D]no re-[D7]mor-[D]se.


[G] [F#/D] [Em] [F#/D] x2


[G]We had everything,


[F#/D]All dreams came true,


[Em]We had more than luck,


[F#/D]Like a fiction story,



[G]No thought [F#/D]of tomorrow,


[Em]We only [F#/D]felt us.


[Em]Not like the [C]times forced,


[G]when life be-[D]comes alive,


[Em]The past will [C]move aside,


No [G]regrets and [D]no re-[D7]mor-[D]se.


[G]We squeezed the blood,


[F#/D]Out of our love,


[Em]And said goodbye,


[F#/D]For the last time,


[G]Pure thoughts [F#/D]of yesterday,


[Em]Love didn't [F#/D]want us.


[Em]Not like the [C]times forced,


[G]when life be-[D]comes alive,


[Em]The past will [C]move aside,


No [G]regrets and [D]no re-[D7]mor-[D]se.


.

[G] [F#/D] [Em] [F#/D] x2


[G]

Hi temus99 & welcome to chordie!

Nothing like making a grand entrance, eh?

This is a lovely song - very lovely lyrics.
I'll try to give it a strum and warble this weekend.    James

Re: No Regrets and No Remorse - My First Original Song

thank you, and I'm sure I'll enjoy being here.

But I did forget to put the reason why i wrote this song.

The reasoning behind this is a few months back, I was seeing a girl, for about 4-5 months, and I really liked her, so I decided to write her a song, but when I'd finished the chords, and the first two lines, I learnt that she had cheated on me. And because I grew up with my father always cheating on my mother, I have a serious problem with cheaters, and if they do it once, they're gone.

But that's what this song's about.

Re: No Regrets and No Remorse - My First Original Song

Hi, Temus and welcome!  Deja Vu or what!

Great set of lyrics, a shame the best love songs are written with a broken heart.

Gonna get my guitar and have a bash after breakfast

Well done and thanks for sharing

cool

I'm the son of rage and love

Hi temuss99 and Hello
Nice song interesting chord progression. I think some may struggle with the F#/D?
Anyway the song sounds good just using the barred F# strummed or picked.
No criticism intended just an observation.

Re: No Regrets and No Remorse - My First Original Song

Heya guys, thanks for all the comments.

The way I've been taught to play F#/D is like this:

e 2
B 3
G 2
D 0
A 0
E 2

and to get the two on the thicker E string, i use my thumb.

Re: No Regrets and No Remorse - My First Original Song

ah I see temus.
I would rather just play D then lol,
but see the way it shows F#/D on the chord chart on your song, I love that sound from that chord, it goes very very well with G

Temus99,

Lovely lovely song. Your right you know, never be second best in love.

Cheaters have a very low self esteem. or over inflated egoes,

Either way they lose in the end.

She missed out bigtime.

Re: No Regrets and No Remorse - My First Original Song

Hi Sean,

I have just given your song a run through and I must say that I preferred it with a D instead of the F#/D but on then reading the posts this is more or less what you intended.

I really liked your song and a great way to introduce yourself to us. Well done and I look forward to seeing, and playing, more songs from you.

Thank you,

Roger
