If We Want Love To Last

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
