James Taylor, Shower the People (1976)
^{Key: :[E] (w: James Taylor)}

INTRO: [*R1]

VERSE 1:
You can [E] play the game and you can [B] act out the part
Though you [C#m] know it wasn't [E/B] written for [A] you
But tell me [E] how can you stand there with your [B] broken [Cdim7] heart
A-[C#m]-shamed of [E/B] playing the [A] fool

VERSE 2:
[E] One thing can lead to an-[B]-other
it doesn't [C#m] take any [E/B] sacri-[A]-fice
Oh, [E] father and mother, sis-[B]-ter and [Cdim7] brother
[C#m] if it feels [E/B] nice, [A] don't think [E/G#] twice

CHORUS 1:
Just [F#m7] shower the people you [B] love with love
[F#m7] Show them the way that you [B] feel
[F#m7] Things are gonna work out [B7] fine
if you [Cdim7] only [C#m] will [G#dim7]

CHORUS 2:
[F#m7] Shower the people you [B] love with love
[F#m7] Show them the way that you [B] feel
[F#m7] Things are gonna be much [B] better
if you [Cdim7] only will [C#m] [D] [A]

VERSE 3:
[E] You can run but you [B] cannot hide
[C#m] this is [E/B] widely [A] known
And [E] what you plan to do with your [B] foolish [Cdim7] pride
when you're [C#m] all by your-[E/B]-self a-[A]-lone

VERSE 4:
Once you [E] tell somebody the [B] way that you feel
you can [C#m] feel it be-[E/B]-ginning to [A] ease
I think it's [E] true what they say about the [B] squeaky [Cdim7] wheel
[C#m] always [E/B] getting the [A] grease [E/G#]
