James Taylor, Shower the People (1976)
Key: :[F] (w: James Taylor)

INTRO: [*R1]

VERSE 1:
You can [F] play the game and you can [C] act out the part
Though you [Dm] know it wasn't [F/C] written for [Bb] you
But tell me [F] how can you stand there with your [C] broken [Dbdim7] heart
A-[Dm]-shamed of [F/C] playing the [Bb] fool

VERSE 2:
[F] One thing can lead to an-[C]-other
it doesn't [Dm] take any [F/C] sacri-[Bb]-fice
Oh, [F] father and mother, sis-[C]-ter and [Dbdim7] brother
[Dm] if it feels [F/C] nice, [Bb] don't think [F/A] twice

CHORUS 1:
Just [Gm7] shower the people you [C] love with love
[Gm7] Show them the way that you [C] feel
[Gm7] Things are gonna work out [C7] fine
if you [Dbdim7] only [Dm] will [Adim7]

CHORUS 2:
[Gm7] Shower the people you [C] love with love
[Gm7] Show them the way that you [C] feel
[Gm7] Things are gonna be much [C] better
if you [Dbdim7] only will [Dm] [Eb] [Bb]

VERSE 3:
[F] You can run but you [C] cannot hide
[Dm] this is [F/C] widely [Bb] known
And [F] what you plan to do with your [C] foolish [Dbdim7] pride
when you're [Dm] all by your-[F/C]-self a-[Bb]-lone

VERSE 4:
Once you [F] tell somebody the [C] way that you feel
you can [Dm] feel it be-[F/C]-ginning to [Bb] ease
I think it's [F] true what they say about the [C] squeaky [Dbdim7] wheel
[Dm] always [F/C] getting the [Bb] grease [F/A]

CHORUS 3:
[Gm7] Shower the people you [C] love with love
[Gm7] Show them the way that you [C] feel
[Gm7] Things are gonna be much [C] better
if you [Dbdim7] only will [Dm open]
