Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
A  E  A


Verse 1:
  A                 E              A
A broken man moves slowly down the sidewalk
A              E               A  A7
Humbled by the favours he must seek
     D                               A            F#
From those that he encounters on his walk through misery
        A              G                 A
Who are rich enough to hurt just as they please
   A              E               A
If not for love I could be one of these

Verse 2:
   A            E                      A
An old man on a park bench stares with envy
     A                 E                 A  A7
At a couple with their children on their knees
       D                             A             F#
While across the park a young man is caught by the police
 A             G             A
Stealing for a habit he must feed
       A              E               A  A7
And if not for love I could be one of these


Chorus:
  D               E           A         A7
I could be one of these or so many many more
D                              A
Always at the beck and call of shame
    D              E                 A              F#
I'm thankful I was called by love to walk among the happy
       D                E                A
But if not for you love wouldn't know my name


Verse 3:
  A               E               A
A man of squander talents vainly calls on
    A                E                    A  A7
His gift of God now straining through his soul
      D                         A               F#
While in the crowd before him a jealous friend awaits
    A               G             A
The moments that he can no longer please
       A              E               A  A7
And if not for love I could be one of these


Chorus:
  D               E           A         A7
I could be one of these or so many many more
D                              A
Always at the beck and call of shame
    D              E                 A              F#
I'm thankful I was called by love to walk among the happy
       D                E                A
But if not for you love wouldn't know my name
       A              E               A  D  A
Yes if not for love I could be one of these
