Love Is The Only Thing

E                      A G E   
All you true believers...    
                    A G A
all you wide receivers...
A                               
Anyone who calls this world their 
   E      A G E
home...
E                    A G E     
When the war is over...     
                        A G A
I’ll still be your brother...
A                                 
Maybe we can sort the right from 
     E      A G E
the wrong...
C#m                               
Let me put it back the way it was
  E      A G E

C#m                          
Let me turn the lights on just 
       B
because

[chorus]
E                 C#m
Love is a hurting thing
E                       C#m   
Ah but love is the only thing... 
    B       E
anymore

[Verse 2]
E                        A G E 
All you American dreamers...   
                      A G A
 all you gay deceivers...

A                                 
Who will cross their hearts and 
       E      A G E
hope to die...
E                      A G E   
Bring your x-ray vision...  
                          A G A
from the bedroom to the kitchen...
A                                 
I’ve seen it all you don’t have to
     E      A G E
 be shy...
C#m                               
Who will put it back the way that 
    E      A G E
it was
C#m                            
And who will turn the lights off 
          B
just because?

[chorus]
E                 C#m
Love is a hurting thing
E                       C#m   
Ah but love is the only thing... 
    B       E
anymore

[Verse 3]
E                    A G E     
All you happy hookers...    all
                      A G A
 you night club bookers...
A                              
Anyone who has fallen from their 
    E      A G E
throne...
E                               A 
There’s a rainbow in the gutter...
G E                         A G A
    dewdrops in the shutters...
A                                 
I’m out here in the garden and I’m
       E      A G E
 all alone...
C#m                               
So let me put it back the way that
     E      A G E
 it was
C#m                           
Let me turn the lights off just 
      B
because

[chorus]
E                 C#m
Love is a hurting thing
E                       C#m   
Ah but love is the only thing... 
    B       E
anymore
