Intro: D      G 


Verse 1:
 
D 
Everybody's reachin' for something 
G 
Every day pullin' and tugging 
D                                        G 
And always wantin' a little more 
D 
Holdin' on to hurt like an anchor 
G 
Treatin' those we love like strangers 
D                                        G 
Takin' names and keeping score 
G    A    G                                  D 
We all know, what we're really after 
G                   A            G                          A 
Somewhere along the road, we got it backwards 


 
D 
If you want to give love then give it 
G 
If you want to feel some forgiveness 
D                                                             A 
Then you've gotta let go and do some forgiving of your own 
D 
If you want a friend then be one 
G 
A little bit of kindness, show some 
D                                                 A 
You'll be surprised of how much finds its way back home 
             G         A         G 
It don't matter what it is 
          D     A   D            G 
If you want it, give. 


Verse 2:
 
D 
I been down right stubborn, 
G 
At one time or another, 
D                                 G 
And found it easier to bend. 
D 
I've had a shoulder to lean on 
G 
Been the one who got to be strong 
D                                              G 
And peace was waiting at both ends 
       G    A   G                                         D 
I've felt the power, I've seen what it can do 
       G         A    G                                     D 
It's seemed so simple, so simple that it's true

If you want to give love then give it

Then you've gotta let go and do some forgiving of your own 
D 
If you want a friend then be one

You'll be surprised of how much finds its way back home
