Lyrics

You can (Eb)cheat the dev il you can and slice a piece of the sun.

(Fm7)You can (Eb)Burn up the high way,

but be fore you run,

you got ta love some (Bb)one.

You got ta love some (Eb)one.

(Ab)You can (Eb)stop the world,

steal the face from the moon.

(Fm7)You can (Eb)beat the clock,

but be fore high noon,

you got ta love some (Bb)one.

You got ta love some one.

You’ve you’re got one (Bb)life with a rea son, you need two hearts on one side.

When you stand a lone and there’s no one there

to (F7)share the way

you (Bb)feel (Ab)in (Gm)side, (Fm)and, (Eb)ba (Bb)by,

you can (Eb)win the fight, il you can and grab a piece of the sky.

(Fm7)You can (Eb)break the the rules, way,

but be fore you try,

you got ta love some (Bb)one.

You got ta love some (Eb)one.

(Ab)You can (Eb)stop the world,

steal the face from the moon.

(Fm7)You can (Eb)beat the clock,

but be fore high noon,

you got ta love some (Bb)one.

You got ta love some one.

When you’re gon na (Bb)play with fire, rea you let some one share the heat.

When you’re on your own and there’s no one there

to (F7)cool the flames

be (Bb)neath (Ab)your (Gm)feet, (Fm)and, (Eb)ba (Bb)by,

you can

you can

You got ta love some (Bb)one.

You got ta love some (Eb)one.

You got ta love some (Bb)one.

You got ta love some (Eb)one.

You got ta love some (Eb)one.
