Love Is An Unmade Bed
Hello! This is a gorgeous track from Nerina s new EP, and I thought I d give it a whirl.
I m not sure the lyrics towards the end are totally right, but the chords sound fine.
They re pretty simple, but there s a Gm and an Eb in the bridge. Nerina uses an Em shape
for the former, and an A shape for the latter. Have fun!
Good times and bad times
The love that we shared
Now you sleep on the sofa
And I don t care
Time was I d reach for your hand
And you d always be there
So what can we do but
Divide up our books
And our records? And field
All our friends funny looks
You take the TV and I take the bed
Or a chair
I found an old photo
From when we first met
When I still wore your clothes
And we d just stay in bed
On Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays
I d skip work for you instead
Oh, love is a rock, not a straitjacket
Love is an unmade bed
Oh, love is a rock, not a straitjacket
Love is an unmade bed
You and me, babe
We re a Vaudeville show
All jazz hands and kisses
Nobody would know
We re dying inside
But always the life and the soul
Like brother and sister
None closer than we
When you say you re too tired
I m secretly relieved
But I try to see you again
To see you like the first time
And sometimes I glimpse us
Before we were us
Before we had bills
And before we had staff
Before we bought suitable wine for our meals
And bought records instead
Oh, love is a rock, not a straitjacket
Love is an unmade bed
Oh, love is a rock, not a straitjacket
Love is an unmade bed
[VERSE CHORDS - hum or doobedoo. Or la. Or keep quiet. I can t tell you how to live your life]
I see you again in a year
Maybe two
At a wedding or birthday
And you have moved on
And just for a moment I ll choke
Then the moment is gone
Just for a second
I ll question it
All nostalgic
And trying to hide it
Then I ll snuff out this thought in the moment,
The issue decided.
