How To Write A Love Song by The Axis Of Awesome

HOW TO WRITE A LOVE SONG - Axis of Awesome
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: CalvinMills
E-mail: [email protected]
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Capo: 6
The other versions overlooked a simple chord change in the finger picking in the song for the 4th and 5th
chords. I'm using a different capo to adjust for that. The hardest part is actually the first key change. If
you don't have a cutaway guitar, it may be difficult to play the D#.

INTRO
Bm7 Bm7/G Bm7/E A7 A7/Bb
Steel String Guitar
Bm7 Bm7/G Bm7/E A7 A7/Bb
Chimes Synthetic Percussion
VERSE 1
Bm7 Bm7/G Bm7/E A7 A7/Bb
Baby Girl, I wanna show you how much I really love you (How much I really love you)
Bm7 Bm7/G Bm7/E A7 A7/Bb
Baby Girl, That's what I call you to show you that my love for you is true
Bm7 Bm7/G Bm7/E A7 A7/Bb
Baby Girl, Our love is so great that I wrote you this song
Bm7 Bm7/G Bm7/E A7 A7/Bb
and to show you how much I really care it sounds like every other one
Bm7 Bm7/G
The beat kicks in and then I sing a bit more rhythmically,
Bm7/E A7 A7/Bb
To make it sensual I sing it in a minor key
Bm7 Bm7/G
I move my hands like I'm pushing someone in front of me
Bm7/E A7 A7/Bb Gmaj7
Now that's the first verse and now I'm gonna take it to the bridge
BRIDGE 1
Gmaj7 Gmaj7/F# Gmaj7/E Gmaj7/F#
I say something 'bout how I dont wanna break up, Then I turn around and rhyme it with
Gmaj7 Gmaj7/F# Gmaj7/E Gmaj7/F#
Make up. I tell you that we should be together (How Long?) Forever (That Long)
Gmaj7 Gmaj7/F# Gmaj7/E Gmaj7/F#
and Ever (So Long) Girl your always in my heart (In my heart) and I never want to be
Gmaj7 Gmaj7/F# Gmaj7/E Gmaj7/F# G
apart (Never be apart) Honey you'll always be mine (Baby be Mine) Baby girl it's chorus time
CHORUS 1
G D A
This is how you write a love song
F#m G
Yeah this is how you write a cliche love song
D A
This is how you write a love song
F#m Bm7
Yeah a shitty 90's R n' B love song
VERSE 2
Bm7 Bm7/G
This is my backup and he sings quite breathilly (Breathilly)
Bm7/E A7 A7/Bb
He takes the words I say and sings them after me (Sings em after me)
Bm7 Bm7/G
He emphasizes words and sings emphatically (I sing emphatically)
Bma7/E N.C. Gmaj7
Now listen to us sing in A Capella harmony
BRIDGE 2
Gmaj7 Gmaj7/F# Gmaj7/E Gmaj7/F#
Now were back at the bridge I haven't written anything for
Gmaj7 Gmaj7/F# Gmaj7/E Gmaj7/F# Gmaj7
This. So I'm gonna stretch out the words
Gmaj7/F# Gmaj7/E Gmaj7/F#
Repeating everything I say
Gmaj7 Gmaj7/F# Gmaj7/E Gmaj7/F# Gmaj7
Til I get (Til I get) Til I get (Til I get) Til I get (Til I get)Yeah til I get back to the chorus
CHORUS 2
G D A
This is how you write a love song
F#m G
Yeah a shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty love song
D A
And to show you I care I throw my hands in the air
N.C. Bm7 F#m
Now cut the music while I sing a long note
SPOKENWORD
Bm7 F#m7
Hey girl I've been standing at the back not doing much for this song
Bm7
But that's because my talents are quite limited but that don't mean that I love you any less
F#m7 Bm7
In fact it means the opposite (Im just showing off my voice) its just it's so hard for me to find the words
F#m7
To really express the way that I feel about you girl
Bm7
Especially when I have to worry about fitting those words to music
F#m7
And there's some kind of rhyme structure involved (Meaningless Whisper)
Bm7
I know it's lazy song writing but I don't care
F#m7
Cause I sleep on a big pile of money at night
Bm7
Girl You might think it's weird, girl
F#m7
That three guys are singing about just one girl, girl
Bm7
But let me tell you something, girl, it's not weird at all
F#m7 Bm7
In fact, girl, It's an industry standard and it happens all the time (Happens all the time)
F#m7 G
Well girl I better wrap this up about now cause I'm about to be cut off by- (Woah-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh)
CHORUS 3
D A
Baby I wrote you a love song
F#m G
It wasn't hard It really didn't take long
D A
A totally generic love song
F#m G
Yeah really this could be about anyone
D A
But it's for you yeah this is your love song
F#m G
Non-Specific girl
D A
To let you know we take it seriously
Bb G#
Then watch as we change the key
CHORUS 4
D# Bb
When you change the key in a love song
Gm G#
It means your singing passionately
D# Bb
But We still haven't reached the end
B A
No because were gonna go and change the key again
CHORUS 5
E B
Look at me I'm singing a love song
G#m A
Yeah anyone can sing a shitty love
E B
Our love is so unique
E
That I copied every other shitty love song (Girl)
