Funny How Love Is
Fine Young Cannibals
Tuning: EADGBE
A beautiful song, played to a bossa nova rhythm on the recording. Sounds lovely in its'
incarnation, even with the reverb drenched 80's production, and stays just as strong on
solo acoustic guitar. Bliss!
The timing is a cinch, one bar per chord change
Introduction
- / - - - - - -
Verse 1 (the verse chord sequence is the same as the intro)
/
I'm going to places we used to go
I still see people we used to know
/
Friends they ask me where is she now
I have to tell them we're over now
Refrain
When at first you left I thought I'd surely die
I couldn't see a future without you by my side
We're not together but I'm still alive
I'd rather not see you for a very long time
/
Funny how love is, Funny how love is. Funny how love is
Sax break over verse sequence, play once

Verse 2
/
I don't want your magazines I don't want your clothes
Take them from my house let me be alone
/
You ever try to catch me in or call me on the phone
Don't send me letters I don't want to know
Refrain 2
When at first you left I thought I'd surely die
I couldn't see a future without you by my side
We're not together but I'm still alive
I'd rather not see you for a very long time
Outro - verse chord sequence
/
Funny how love is, Funny how love is. Funny how love is
/
Love is so funny, you sure put the joke on me Funny how love is

It doesn't get much better than this song. I hope I've done it justice!
