INTRO: D----------22-------------| A-0000--2-4----4-2---2-0---| E------------------4-------| A A broken man moves slowly down the sidewalk E Humbled by the favours he must seek A From those that he encounters on his walk through misery D A Who are rich enough to hurt just as they please A E A If not for love I could be one of these A An old man on a park bench stares with envy E At a couple with their children on their knees A While across the park a young man is caught by the police D A Stealin' for a habit he must feed A E A And if not for love I could be one of these D A I could be one of these or so many many more E Always at the beck and call of shame A D I'm thankful I was called by love to walk among the happy A E A But if not for you love wouldn't know my name A A man of squander talents vainly calls on E His gift of God now straining through his soul A While in the crowd before him a jealous friend awaits D A The moments that he can no longer please A E A And if not for love I could be one of these D A I could be one of these or so many many more E Always at the beck and call of shame A D I'm thankful I was called by love to walk among the happy A E A But if not for you love wouldn't know my name A E E Yes if not for love I could be one of these
