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#]
CHORUS 3:
[F#m7] Shower the people you
[B] love with love

if you
[Cdim7] only will
[C#m open]
