Lyrics

So I got my boots on, got the right ’mount of leath er, and I’m do in’ me up with a black col or lin er.

And I’m work in’ my strut, but I know it don’t mat ter.

All we need in this world is some love.

There’s a thin line ’tween the dark side and the light side, ba by, to night.

It’s a strug gle, got ta rum ble try’n’ to find

it.

But if I had (C)you,

(Em)that would be the on ly thing I’d (Dsus)ev (D)er need.

Yeah, if I had (C)you,

then (Em)mon ey, fame and for tune nev er (Dsus)could (D)com pete.

If (Bm)I had (C)you,

life would be a par ty, it’d be (D)ec sta sy.

Yeah, if I had (C)you, y y y y y (Em)you, y y y y y (Dsus)you, y y y y y you.

(Bm)If I had (CN.C.)you.

From New York to L.

A., get tin’ high, rock ’n’ roll in’.

Get a room, trash it up ’til it’s ten in the morn in’.

Girls in strip per heels, boys roll in’ in Ma ser a ti’s.

What they need in this world is some love.

There’s a thin line ’tween a wild time and a flat line, ba by, to night.

It’s a strug gle, got ta rum ble try’n’ to find

it.

But if I had (C)you,

(Em)that would be the on ly thing I’d (Dsus)ev (D)er need.

Yeah, if I had (C)you,

then (Em)mon ey, fame and for tune nev er (Dsus)could (D)com pete.

The fash ion and the (D5)stage,

it might get me high

but it don’t mean a (D)thing (Em)to (C)night.
