I've recorded this song several times, this is the first with BIB. There are several guitar overdubs, things I just couldn't get BIB to play. The song is about when you have a relationship of convenience, "it's not love, but don't take it away".

It's Not Love

D GAD DA 3 times
D It may be fine, it may be right
AD Just what you need tonight
DEmA It may be everything you want but it's not love

D It may be good, it may be sweet,
AD might make you feel complete
DEm It may help your broken heart,
DA it may help you play the part

GAD But it's not love
DA When you wake up in the morning with a stranger in your bed
GAD It's not love
DEmA When you use your best lines and don't mean a word you've said

GD You can pass the time, you can change your mind
BmA as you try to find your way
GBm and you tell yourself you will love again
DA but you don't feel right today

GAD A GAD A It's not love, I confess
GAD AD It's not love, but it's not loneliness
break

D You gave your heart too many times
AD never read between the lines
DEmA Now you won't admit that you're afraid of love

D And so you take what you can find
AD but it gives no piece of mind
DEm because it never feels the same
DA you know it's just a silly game

GAD It's not love
DA When you look for understanding and see an empty face
GAD It's not love
DEmA When you close your eyes and think of someone in their place

GD When the bed is warm but your heart is cold
BmA you should know that there's something wrong
GBm When the fire is low and the moment's gone
DA and you feel like you don't belong

GAD A GAD A It's not love, no sweet stuff
GAD AD It's not love, but it's risky enough
GAD A GAD A It's not love, so they say
GAD AD It's not love, but don't take it away
GAD A GAD A It's not love, it's not love
GAD AD it's not love, but it's almost enough.

Cool tune!! I love bitterly sarcastic (and yet humorous) lyrics like this. The live guitar was a bit loud and a bit sharp I believe. Really fun and well done tune!! Enjoyed it a lot. Take care. Greg

Hey Will.
Another good write.
Keep em coming.

Nice tune. Stylistically like "My Best Friends Girl" by the cars to me. enjoyed the listen.
