[Verse 1]
  F
"All
Cmaj7     F
  good thoughts"
Cmaj7   F
  in  spite
Cmaj7  F    Cmaj7
  of righteousness is
 F  Cmaj7      F
Not       the kind
Cmaj7    F     Cmaj7      F        Cmaj7
    of thoughts      in spite of greatness.
  F  Cmaj7   F  Cmaj7     F  Cmaj7    F   Cmaj7
Often       now     the State     is advocation.
F  Cmaj7  F   Cmaj7  F   Cmaj7   F   Cmaj7
If    we form     a power   of recognition.

Forget      loss    and perfect      advocation.

If     it drops    or stays     in convocation.

[Chorus]
F   Cmaj7  F    Cmaj7  F  Cmaj7  F       Cmaj7
All  we  praise  is   all  we   want in commerce

Entertain    ideas   of   great communion,
F  Camj7   F  Cmaj7  F  Cmaj7  F
Shelter   not materials  in   union

[Verse 3]
  F
"All
Cmaj7      F
   good thoughts"
Cmaj7  F  Cmaj7     F     Cmaj7
   is not      the act of doing
 F  Cmaj7   F  Cmaj7    F   Cmaj7    F        Cmaj7
What    we want    but what     we should be proving
 F  Cmaj7 F  Cmaj7   F   Cmaj7   F      Cmaj7
(Properties?),     ideas, a    woman's pleasure
F   Cmaj7 F  Cmaj7   F   Cmaj7    F      Cmaj7
is empowered     by love,     a perfect measure!
