Jim Garland is a great song writer from Georgia. He plays acoustic/country
style music most of the time. I know that he plays around Athens, Ga. alot
and is from Macon, I think. I hear he is now making his first full length
album that will come out later in the spring.
Lose at Love
- words and music by Jim Garland
Richmond
Verse 1
Intro : hit bass G twice then strum once, repeat twice
Just the other day, some asked me about you
And I said that you were doin' fine.
I didn't bother to say that I ain't got a clue
And I spend most of my time
Wishin we were still together
And keepin in touch with more than just a smile
Pretendin that I'm feelin better
Though not once have we kissed in quite a while
Still thinkin' about you all the time
Through all the pain and strife
I'm holdin on to pieces of my own dear life
And that ain't right
Chorus
You lose at love and your heart breaks
But if you fall in love, it's a risk you take
It ain't fair, . . . but it's true
And I want break down and wash away
Cuz all I got left is all I got to say
All the little lies, . . .about me and you.
Verse 2
The way the story goes
I am doin great, and we are still in love
Through the highs and lows
We are bound by fate, It's like a gift from God above
And every time we swear its over
You come runnin back to me
Swearin that you'll never love another
And freedom's not what you thought it would be
Still thinkin about you all the time
I'm 'bout to go insane,
Guilty goin crazy 'bout the things I claim
To be right
Chorus same except end with
. . . about me and you
Repeat Chorus
