LOVE ISN'T MADE
by Jon Foreman
Tabbed by: The Count of Monte Cristo
Tuning: Standard (Key of E)

The Intro and verse just goes back and forth between an E and an A chord.
It may prove useful to do this by just changing the root string... alike so...

    E      A
e|--0--  --0--  
B|--5--  --5--  
G|--4--  --4--  
D|--2--  --2--  
A|--X--  --0-- 
E|--0--  --X--  

VERSE 1:

 E                           A
     An hour ago, I felt so low I almost drowned
 E                                   A
     Driving around this messed up town.
 E                                      A
     It's pretty, it's only, I felt so lonely
 (A)
And I knew all night
      E
I'd never find a face that could understand
      A
How much I miss you now.

The chords used in the rest of the song are...
(Note: these are just suggested forms of the chords.
Many of them are suspended or open simply for style).

    E      A     C#m    G/E
e|--0--  --0--  --0--  --0--  
B|--0--  --0--  --0--  --0--  
G|--4--  --2--  --9--  --4-- 
D|--2--  --2--  -11--  --5--  
A|--2--  --0--  -11--  --5--  
E|--0--  --X--  --X--  --3--  

CHORUS 1:   
         C#m 
And so I arrive at the conclusion
             A
Love isn't made; love doesn't sell or pay,
       G/E
But we buy and sell our love away.


VERSE 2 (played same way as verse 1):
 E                                                 
     Escape to the water and stare up at
       A
The stars and moon and sky
        E
I was lying on my back
                             A
With my fingers in the sand.
 E                                   A
     Alone in Miami, it sounds so funny
(A)                      E
And yet, here I am, It's funny how life
                        A
Is seldom what you plan


CHORUS 2 (also played same was as verse 1):
E                                    A
Don't let the panic bring you down.

And there you are, friends.  I believe, at this point, Bob is indeed your uncle.
This is a great little tune and, please, do not disrespect it by
playing it on the beach and/or barefoot.  Let's go ahead and try to break
the acoustic stereotype.
Keep it real.
Keep it classy.
