Play Love Me Like the World is Ending by Ben Lee

Written by Troy Spro

Learn how to play Love Me like the World is Ending by Ben Lee on guitar below.

This song is the 1st track on the record Ripe released in 2007.

The track runs for 3.46 mins.

This is just a great song to me, a sing along song with an uplifting vibe to it.

Lot’s of highs and lows throughout too.

As I am big Ben Lee fan (Troy Spro being his 2000th follower on twitter), this song out of many has a very special meaning to me and my wife.

When we first met she organised a ticket surprise to a concert, not knowing I was a big fan of Ben’s.

This was at the Tivoli on the 21/10/2007 and I was excited as I had been purchasing Ben’s records since Breathing Tornados and have since got all his earlier recordings too.

I can remember Lisa Mitchell playing and also Ben’s gold suit and Adidas shoes when he came out were very impressive.

Play on guitar Love Me Like The World Is Ending by Ben Lee

I can remember this song as I was holding my wife’s hand during it and that has just sat it my memory since then and we also used this song at our wedding after the ceremony and we were walking out being congratulated for the great occasion.

Play Love me like the World is Ending

Here is the basic structure of the song, key, chords and lyrics as I play them on my acoustic.

Ben sings the main lines with Rachael Yamagata singing backups which works great.

All the songs I’ll be working on here will be easy to play with an acoustic guitar or an arrangement for acoustic.

I’ve done this so if you want to play a whole set of great songs as a solo act or in your lounge, you can.

For the below too, I have been using either a C9 or a Open C chord with my Left Ring Finger bridged across the E and B string on the 3rd fret.

Structure

Key of G Intro : verse : chorus : verse : chorus : bridge : chorus

Intro

I won’t write Tab here, but to play Intro you can chug along with an open G chord and hit the G note as a drone, with the B string D note on the 3rd and use the open E string too (Put your Right Pinky Finger on the 3rd fret of your B String, for right hander’s of course).

Just get something that sounds cool and is easy to play.

Verse

G                                                      C
This is the first day of the future,

G                                     C
And all I want is you

G                                                      C
I wear a pair of socks you left here,

G                                                                   C
But I know, I know, I know, nobody could ever fill your shoes

Chorus

C                   D                               Em                          C
I can see so clearly when your smoke gets in my eyes

Please me with your promises and hurt me with your lies

C                       D              Em                   C

Love me like the world is ending

Verse

G                                               C
This is the last day of existence

G                                      C
And all I want is you

G                                      C
There’s a certain sadness,

G                                                                     C
But I know, I know, I know, the sky is what makes the ocean blue

G                                                              C
I know, I know, I know, the sky is what makes the ocean blue

Chorus

C                   D                               Em                          C
I can see so clearly when your smoke gets in my eyes

Please me with your promises and hurt me with your lies

Baby can you hear, the message I am sending

Love me like the world is ending

Love me like the world is ending

Bridge

Em            D         C
And they say, to pour it has to rain

Em     D                              C                                       G
So don’t, complain if we get wet in the deep end

Chorus

C                   D                               Em                          C
I can see so clearly when your smoke gets in my eyes

C                                   D                       Em                           C
Please me with your promises and hurt me with your lies

C                       D              Em                   C
Baby can you hear, the message I am sending

C                            D                            G
Love me like the world is ending
