Dm7                                      C7
I remember when we used to walk together used to talk together,
                        Dm7                                   Gm7
go to the park together in all kinds of weather we would share
            Dm7              C7
This common pleasure........... with most of human
Dm7         Gm7
kinds.......   I said it was a
Dm7              C7
kind of treasure, one that I was surely glad to
    Dm7  Gm7
find,        but I got one right here and


  Dm7                   C7
I'm okay, I'm okay, and you're okay,
      Dm7          Gm7
ah ah we're okay.    I I if I'm  to say
Dm7         C7
al- alright I-i
                   Dm7
Everything else is alright and I'm doing
          Gm7
I'm doing fine and sometimes.

                    Dm7
Just remember those bones they get broken
    C7                     Dm7
And love is not a token of affection
                                   Gm7
It's not even a real thing, it's a word
                                    Dm7
So don't you try to but it out with a ring
                                 C7
Cause it's a verb, to love someone open up and let them in
          Dm7             Gm7                            Am7
Just don't, just don't be afraid to set them free again.


                      Gm7
This ain't no heaven, ain't no hell , ain't no in between
                            Am7                           Gm7
Cause there's just too many faces and places in this world
                                       Am7
That I ain't ever seen, I'm gonna keep on keeping on
                 Gm7
I'm gonna reap on being strong
              Am7                           Gm7
I got my head on, though misconnected. It's alright cause I do it protected


        Am7
I got a day job. I drive a cheap ride
        Gm7
Sounds like I'm gonna be fine
                 Am7
You only get one life to learn
             Gm7
There's only so many brain cells that you can burn

    Am7                           Gm7
And life can take a turn and take away that you've earned
    Am7                             Gm7
And leave you yearning for more, so much more

                        Am7                      Gm7
Life is gonna leave you yearning for more, more, more
                        Am7
Your stomach's gonna be churning
                                 Gm7
Wanting more, you're wanting, wanting some more.
       Am7                      Gm7
You're wanting some more, more, more d-d-d-o you
Am7        Gm7     Am7              Gm7
want some?         Do you want some?
