F#m7 C#m7
Name your price,
F#m7 C#m7
A ticket to paradise
Bm7 DM7
I can`t stay here anymore
F#m7 C#m7
And I`ve looked high and low
F#m7 C#m7
I`ve been from shore to shore to shore
Bm7 DM7
If there`s a short cut I`d have found it
Bm7 C#9sus C#9sus,C#9sus hold
But, there is no easy way around it
Chorus:
F#m DM7 C#m7
Light of the world, shine on me,
F#m Bm7
Love is the answer;
F#m7 DM7 C#m7
Shine on us all, set us free,
F#m Bm7
Love is the answer.
F#m7 C#m7
Who knows why,
F#m7 C#m7
Someday we all must die.
Bm7 DM7
We`re all homeless boys and girls,
F#m7 C#m7
And we are never heard,
F#m7 C#m7
It`s such a lonely, lonely, lonely world.
Bm7 DM7
People turn their heads and walk on by,
Bm7 C#9sus, C#9sus hold
Tell me, is it worth just another try?
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
F#m7 DM7
Tell me, are we alive,
Bm7
Or just a dying planet?
FM7 F FM7 A B*B
What are the chances?
A B C Csus4 C D E D6 G A5*A5 hold
Ask the man in your heart for the answers.
C#m7 F#m7
And when you feel afraid,
G D
(Love one another)
C#m7 F#m7
When you`ve lost your way,
G D
(Love one another)
C#m7 F#m7
And when you`re all alone,
G D
(Love one another)
C#m7 F#m7
And when you`re far from home,
G D
(Love one another)
C#m7 F#m7
And when you`re down and out,
G D
(Love one another)
C#m7 F#m7
And when your hopes run out,
G D
(Love one another)
C#m7 F#m7
And when you need a friend,
G D
(Love one another)
C#m7 F#m7
And when you`re near the end
G
Love, we`ve got to love
G Bm7 hold
We`ve got to love one another...
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
D9/B Bm7 D9/B-F#m7 pause
Love is the answer.
