Re: Re-write It's love that we lose ( duet version) (14 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I further edited this duet changed a few words and chords.
But sorry Phill - I only made a minor change in that line
It is definitely written as a country song and I think it fits.
Maybe our Texas friend Mojo can give some input as to that line.
Thanks for checking it out .

It's Love That You Lose By Jim Kenyon
verse 1
.
( Man )
[D]Sitting by the [C]campfire, and my [G]guitar weeps so [D] sad
[D]As I dream of the[C] soft look that [G]her eyes once[D] had
[D] start singing 'bout a [C]love poem, that I [G]once knew by[D] heart
[D]but the meanings gone [C] missing, since [G] we’ve been a[D]part
verse 2
.
(Woman )
[D]I recall every [C] memory and I [G] still call out your[D] name
[D] you know my lonesome [C]heart just won’t [G]ever be the [D]same
[D]should’ve left love to[C] someone, who could [G]lose their wandering [D]boots
[D] someone to hold [C]every night and [G] put down some deeper [D]roots
.
Chorus
.
Ya’ know [C]someday we‘ll get to[G]gether, talk of [C]what we gave a [G]way (Woman)
and how[C] much that we [G]loved each other and [D]why we couldn't stay (Man )
Oh we [C]might talk ‘bout de[G]cisions we made, and that [C] fate was ours to [G]choose (together)
And the [C] cost of chasing [G] different dreams is the[D] love [C]that we [G] lose (together)
verse 3
.
[D] Oh those heartstrings and [C]feelings, they're so[G] hard to for[D]get (Man)
[D] the love we had is the [C] one thing that we [G]never could re[D]gret (Woman)
[D]It could have been so [C] different, but it [G] seems we’ll never [D]know(together)
[D]oh we should’ve known [C] better, than to [G]ever let love [D]go( together)
.
Chorus
.
Ya’ know [C]someday we‘ll get to[G]gether, talk of [C]what we gave a [G]way (Woman)
and how[C] much that we [G]loved each other and [D]why we couldn't stay (Man )
Oh we [C]might talk ‘bout de[G]cisions we made, and that [C] fate was ours to [G]choose (together)
And the [C] cost of chasing [G] different dreams is the[D] love [C]that we [G] lose (together)
And the [C] cost of chasing [G] different dreams is the[D] love [C] that we [G] lose (together)
(slow)
yeah, it's the[D] love [C] that we [G] lose (together)
yeah it's[D] fate that's [C] ours to [G] choose (together)
(real slow)
it's the[D] love [C] that we [G] lose (together)

Thanks - I may give that a try as well.
As you know, I'm not much of a musician so most of the stuff I write is pretty basic.
If you happen to record it - I would love it if you would send it to me .
Thanks again !

So I thought I would start the new year off with a song I wrote this morning.
It's about a love that ended because of chasing dreams.
Sorry that I used the same chords for the chorus as I did with the verses - is that ok to do ? It just sounded good tome and I'm not a good enough musician to come with something else
Comments appreciated. !
Bahaha - changed my mind, changed the title and switched up a verse and chorus.... just seemed better after playing it
