Feb 2022 contemporary folk skirmish 14 feb fuc
If there is one time you hope people will allow you to have the freedom to suck, it has to be a first date.
Instrument used: Tenor Ukulele (Low G)
(D) So we were a match on (Em) Tinder
You like the same things that I (D) do
You're looking for a long term (Em) interest
I'm not just out for a new (D) screw
Let's take it easy from the (G) set off
There is no reason now for (D) speed
If we let this grow to(A)gether
We might fulfil each other's (D) need
Don't expect me to be (Bm) perfect!
That only happens in a (D) dream
I won't go looking for your (A) defects
We are (G) people not ma(D)chines
It's good at last to meet in (Em) person
We got on so well on(D)line
I know first dates can be (Em) awkward
And there's really no guide(D)lines
I looked forward to this (G) meeting
You've made me laugh so many (D) times
I'm an open book, as I once (A) told you
No need to read between the (D) lines
CHORUS
So, on your PC I look (Em) taller
Maybe that's the ratio on your (D) screen
I hope I'm not a disap(Em)pointment
Yeah, I sometimes lack in self es(D)teem
Well we both said we shared a (G) shyness
We feared a tension in the (D) air
But I feel relaxed this (A) evening
I love looking at you (D) there
But CHORUS

Lovely uke playing. A love song that lays it all out there - in real talk - I love it. Your chorus is great - love those lyrics. Very clever lyrically throughout and a nice catchy melody. A great song for Valentine's Day - for the realists out there.

An online matchup that has a happy ending! Perfect song for Valentine’s Day! Lovely!

Creative take and I loved my listen!

I like this, especially the chorus. Good story song.
@gilhari Feb 2022
Nice interpretation of the skirmish subject and fits right into the real world struggles of making it through valentine's day in one piece.
@misterdemp Feb 2022
Unique way to get into the prompt and valentines day. Dating is hard these days, and I love your perspective here.
@jwhanberry Feb 2022
This holds together really well. The story progresses along. The chorus is a wonderful way of making the point. Great skirmishing.
@scruffyblues Feb 2022
Great alternative perspective, really nice lyrics. Love the sound of the uke. Nice one!
@keithcuts Feb 2022
Lol you made your song fit the skirmish and the holiday lol
This is sweet
“Looking for your defects” real talk
“Ratio on your screen” hilarious
Lots of fun moments in this little sissy
A keeper
