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 [D#m] know it wasn't [F#/C#] written for [B] you
But tell me [F#] how can you stand there with your [C#] broken [Ddim7] heart
A-[D#m]-shamed of [F#/C#] playing the [B] fool

VERSE 2:
[F#] One thing can lead to an-[C#]-other
it doesn't [D#m] take any [F#/C#] sacri-[B]-fice
Oh, [F#] father and mother, sis-[C#]-ter and [Ddim7] brother
[D#m] if it feels [F#/C#] nice, [B] don't think [F#/A#] twice

CHORUS 1:
Just [G#m7] shower the people you [C#] love with love
[G#m7] Show them the way that you [C#] feel
[G#m7] Things are gonna work out [C#7] fine
if you [Ddim7] only [D#m] will [A#dim7]

CHORUS 2:
[G#m7] Shower the people you [C#] love with love
[G#m7] Show them the way that you [C#] feel
[G#m7] Things are gonna be much [C#] better
if you [Ddim7] only will [D#m] [E] [B]

VERSE 3:
[F#] You can run but you [C#] cannot hide
[D#m] this is [F#/C#] widely [B] known
And [F#] what you plan to do with your [C#] foolish [Ddim7] pride
when you're [D#m] all by your-[F#/C#]-self a-[B]-lone

VERSE 4:
Once you [F#] tell somebody the [C#] way that you feel
you can [D#m] feel it be-[F#/C#]-ginning to [B] ease
I think it's [F#] true what they say about the [C#] squeaky [Ddim7] wheel
[D#m] always [F#/C#] getting the [B] grease [F#/A#]

CHORUS 3:
[G#m7] Shower the people you [C#] love with love
[G#m7] Show them the way that you [C#] feel
[G#m7] Things are gonna be much [C#] better
if you [Ddim7] only will [D#m open]
