Candi Staton, Young Hearts Run Free (1976)
Key: :[E] (w: David Crawford)

INTRO: [Emaj7] [F#m7] : [x4]

VERSE 1:
[Emaj7] What's the sense in [F#m7] sharing, this [Emaj7] one and only [F#m7] life
[Emaj7] Ending up just [F#m7] another, [Emaj7] lost and lonely wife
[A] You count up the years, and they will be filled with [E] tears [C#m] [E] [C#m]

VERSE 2:
[Emaj7] Love only [F#m7] breaks up, to [Emaj7] start over a-[F#m7]-gain
And [Emaj7] you'll get the [F#m7] babies, but [Emaj7] you won't have your man
[A] While he is busy loving every woman that he [E] can [C#m] [E] [C#m]

PRE-CHORUS:
[F#m7] Say you wanna leave, a thousand times a day, it's easier said that done
When you just can't break away; no you just can't break away

CHORUS:
Oh [A] Young hearts, run free; never be hung up
Hung up like my man and [E] me [C#m]; [E] my man and me [C#m]
Oh [A] Young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool when loving really don't love [E] you [C#m]
[E] Don't love you [C#m]

VERSE 3:
[Emaj7] It's high [F#m7] time now, just [Emaj7] one crack at [F#m7] life
[Emaj7] Who we want to [F#m7] live with, in [Emaj7] trouble and strife
[A] My mind must be free, to learn all I can about [E] me [C#m] [E] [C#m]

VERSE 4:
[Emaj7] I'm gonna [F#m7] love me, for the [Emaj7] rest of my [F#m7] days
[Emaj7] Caress the [F#m7] babies, every-[Emaj7]-time they say
[A] Self resevation is what's really going on to-[E]-day [C#m] [E] [C#m]

PRE-CHORUS:
[F#m7] Say I'm gonna turn loose, a thousand times a day, how can I turn loose
When you just can't break away; just can't break away

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
