G G C C
[Chorus]
C F C
Everybody I know is a looking for love
G
But they don't know how they give it
C F C
Everybody is a looking for more out of life
G
But they don't know how they live it
C
Like everything else if we don't return it
F C
The love's gonna run out fast
F
We gotta put more in than we take out
C G C
If we want love to last
[Verse 1]
F C
If it don't rain we might go to church
F C
To put in a dollar bill
F C
Shake the preacher's hand and ask him for dinner
G7 C
But really hope he never will
F C
Then we wonder why we don't get ahead
F C
As life keeps passing us by
F
We keep a looking for things that we can't find
C G C
And keep on wondering why
[Chorus]
C F C
Everybody I know is a looking for love
G
But they don't know how they give it
C F C
Everybody is a looking for more out of life
G
But they don't know how they live it
C
Like everything else if we don't return it
F C
The love's gonna run out fast
F
We gotta put more in than we take out
C G C
If we want love to last

[Verse 2]
F C
Well we say we can't afford just to take a little time
F C
To help a poor soul in need
F C
We do just enough to ease our conscience
G C
In the world of hate and greed
C
What we need is more love but because of the color of the
F C
Man we walk right past
F
We gotta put more in than we take out
C G C
If we want love to last
[Chorus]
C F C
Everybody I know is a looking for love
G
But they don't know how they give it
C F C
Everybody is a looking for more out of life
G
But they don't know how they live it
C
Like everything else if we don't return it
F C
The love's gonna run out fast
F
We gotta put more in than we take out
C G C
If we want love to last
