Shower The People
Words and Music by James Taylor
(c) 1975, 1976 Country Road Music
You can play the game and you can act out the part
Though you know it wasn't written for you
A#dim7
But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart
Ashamed of playing the fool
One thing can lead to an-other; it doesn't take any sac-ri-fice
A#dim7
Oh, father and mother, sis-ter and brother,
()
if it feels nice, don't think twice
Just shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
A#dim7 F#dim7
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
A#dim7
Things are gonna be much better if you only will. [C G]
You can run but you cannot hide;
this is widely known
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
when you're all by yourself alone
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
you can feel it beginning to ease
I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel
always getting the grease.
Better to shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be just fine if you only will
Show the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will.
||: Shower the people you love with love; show them the way that you feel :||
Ad lib:
They say in every life,
They say the rain must fall
Just like pouring rain
Make it rain
Love is sunshine.
