Lyrics

I’m shout ing all a bout love,

while they treat ed you like a (Edim7)dog,

when (D)you were the (F#m7)one who had (Em7)made it so (Gm6)clear (D)all those (B7)years a go.

I’m talk ing all a bout how to give.

They don’t act with much hon es (Edim7)ty.

But (D)you point the (F#m7)way to the (Em7)truth when you (Gm6)say, (D)“All you (B7)need is love.”

(A)Liv ing with (D)good and bad,

I (A)al ways looked up to you.

(A)Now we’re left (D)cold and sad

by some one, the dev il’s best friend, some one who of fend ed all.

We’re liv ing in all a bad dream.

They’ve for got ten all a bout man (Edim7)kind.

And (D)you were the (F#m7)one they backed (Em7)up to the (Gm6)wall (D)all those (B7)years a go.

(D)You were the (F#m7)one who i (Em7)mag ined it (Gm6)all (D)all those (B7)years a go.

I’m shout ing all a bout love,

while they treat ed you like a (Edim7)dog,

when (D)you were the (F#m7)one who had (Em7)made it so (Gm6)clear (D)All those (B7)years a go.

I’m talk ing all a bout how to give.

They don’t act with much hon es (Edim7)ty.

But (D)you point the (F#m7)way to the (Em7)truth when you (Gm6)say, (D)All those (B7)years a go.

(A)Deep in the (D)dark est night,

I (A)send out a prayer to you.

They’ve for got ten all a bout God.

He’s the on ly rea son we ex (Edim7)ist.

Yet (D)you were the (F#m7)one that they (Em7)said was so (Gm6)weird (D)all those (B7)years a go.

(D)You said it (F#m7)all, though not (Em7)man y had (Gm6)ears, (D)all those (B7)years a go.
