From the album - Building the Perfect Beast (1984)
Songwriters: Don Henley, Danny Kortchmar, Benmont Tench
Intro:
F x2
Verse:
G
Sometimes I wonder, where it is love goes
F
I don't know if even heaven knows
G
I know you had some dreams that didn't quite come true
F
And now I'm not the one, little girl, who's keepin' you
Chorus:
G
I was either standing in your shadow or blockin' your light
F
Though I kept on tryin' I could not make it right
G
For you girl, there's just not enough love in the world
Verse:
I know people hurt you so bad
They don't know the damage they can do and it makes me so sad
How we knock each other down just like children on a playground
Even after that ol' sun went down
Chorus:
I was either standing in your shadow or blockin' your light
Though I kept on tryin' I could not make it right
For you girl, there's just not enough love in the world
Bridge:
Am
Oh darlin', this is still a shady little town
C
And sometimes it's so hard to smile
Am
For the world, for the camera and still have somethin' left
Em
You don't have to prove nothin' to nobody
G
Just take good care of yourself
F
Verse:
I'm not easy to live with, I know that it's true
You're no picnic either, babe and that's one of the things I loved about you
Time will come around when we need to settle down
Got to get off this merry-go-round
Chorus:
I was either standing in your shadow or blockin' your light
Though I kept on tryin' I could not make it right
For you girl, there's just not enough love in the world
Outro:
C
For you girl, there's just not enough love in the world
C x4
Not enough love in the world
