How these ^Dtimes are so uncertain there's a ^Ayearning undefined And ^GPeople filled with rage we all ^Dneed a little tenderness ^A How can love survive in ^Gsuch a graceless age Ahh the ^Asus4trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness ^GThey're the very things we kill, I guess But ^Asus4pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms And the ^Gwork I put between us you know it ^Asus4doesn't keep me ^Awarm
