Candi Staton, Young Hearts Run Free (1976)
Key: :[F] (w: David Crawford)
INTRO: [Fmaj7] [Gm7] :
[x4]
VERSE 1:
[Fmaj7] What's the sense in
[Gm7] sharing, this
[Fmaj7] one and only
[Gm7] life
[Fmaj7] Ending up just
[Gm7] another,
[Fmaj7] lost and lonely wife
[Bb] You count up the years, and they will be filled with
[F] tears
[Dm] [F] [Dm]
VERSE 2:
[Fmaj7] Love only
[Gm7] breaks up, to
[Fmaj7] start over a-
[Gm7]-gain
And
[Fmaj7] you'll get the
[Gm7] babies, but
[Fmaj7] you won't have your man
[Bb] While he is busy loving every woman that he
[F] can
[Dm] [F] [Dm]
PRE-CHORUS:
[Gm7] 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
[Bb] Young hearts, run free; never be hung up
Hung up like my man and
[F] me
[Dm];
[F] my man and me
[Dm]
Oh
[Bb] Young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool when loving really don't love
[F] you
[Dm]
[F] Don't love you
[Dm]
VERSE 3:
[Fmaj7] It's high
[Gm7] time now, just
[Fmaj7] one crack at
[Gm7] life
[Fmaj7] Who we want to
[Gm7] live with, in
[Fmaj7] trouble and strife
[Bb] My mind must be free, to learn all I can about
[F] me
[Dm] [F] [Dm]
VERSE 4:
[Fmaj7] I'm gonna
[Gm7] love me, for the
[Fmaj7] rest of my
[Gm7] days
[Fmaj7] Caress the
[Gm7] babies, every-
[Fmaj7]-time they say
[Bb] Self resevation is what's really going on to-
[F]-day
[Dm] [F] [Dm]
PRE-CHORUS:
[Gm7] 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]
