     D ~ ~

 

   D                                             - Em                                               Gm

1.     I'm shouting all about love,         while they treated you like a dog,

                       D         F#m                 Em           Gm    D            B7      Em

    when you were the one who had made it so clear, all those years ago.

D                                                   - Em                                              Gm

    I'm talking all about how to give,      they don't act with much honesty,

            D                 F#m           Em                  Gm   D          B7      Em

    but you point the way to the truth when you say, all you need is love.

 

      A                D           Em     A                               D

    Living with good and bad, I always looked up to you,

      A                    D           Em        A

    now we're left cold and sad, by someone, the devil's best friend,

A7                                       D

    someone who offended all.

 

   D                                             - Em                                                Gm

2.    We're living in a bad dream,       they've forgotten all about mankind,

             D                 F#m                    Em          Gm   D             B7     Em

    and you were the one they backed up to the wall, all those years ago,

      D                 F#m          Em          Gm D             B7      Em

    you were the one who imagined it all, all those years ago.

A7                                      D

    and all else that we despised.

4.      They've forgotten all about God,        he's the only reason we exist,

            D                F#m                Em               Gm    D             B7      Em

    yet you were the one that they said was so weird, all those years ago.

 

 

 

 

 

      D            F#m                  Em            Gm  D              B7     Em

    You said it all, though not many had ears, all those years ago,

      D              F#m            Em                 Gm     D            B7       Em

    you had control of our smiles and our tears, all those years ago.
