(C)What’s it all a bout,

Is it (Cmaj7)just for the (C6)mo ment we (Em7)live?

What’s it (Dm7)all a bout when you sort it (Em7)out, Al fie?

(Dm7)Are we meant (F)to take more (Cdim7)than we give,

or (F)are we meant to be kind?

And if

(C)on ly fools are kind,

(F)Al fie,

then I (Cmaj7)guess it is (C6)wise to be (Bb7)cruel.

And if (Dm7)life be longs on ly to the (Em7)strong, Al fie,

what (Dm)will you lend (F)on an old (Cdim7)gold en rule?

As (Bm7)sure

as I be (A)lieve

Al fie,

there’s some thing much (Am7)more,

some thing e ven (G9)non

(C)I be lieve in love,

(F)Al fie.

With out true (F)love we just ex (Em7)ist,

Al fie.

Un til you (F7)find the love you’ve (Am7)missed

(D)Al fie.

(F)When you walk let your heart (Cdim7)lead the way,

and (F)you’ll find love an y day, (C)Al fie,

(C)Al fie.
