Love Used To Be
Jewel
Beautiful song and quite simple. My cat just died... and for some reason this is the only song I can listen to right now... ...without thinking it is stupid. Picking pattern in the intro continues throughout the song. I played around with strumming and picking for the Chorus do what like there.
