Intro: F  C  (3x) 
  
                        F            C 
Poor little hairy kids, out on their own 
                             F                   G 
They run to the festival, to show that they were one 
                  C         F         C 
They've fallen in love with all human kind 
                                    F                  C 
So tell them you love them, so they don't change their mind 
  
  
                     F             C 
Write us a book of instructions or signs 
                              F            G 
And if it's been written then give us more time 
         C       F         C 
Recite a poem or sing us a song 
                               F           C      F 
And tell us you love us, so we don't feel alone 
  
  
INTERLUDE: 
                             C    
La la la laa la la, la la la laa 
F                            C          G 
La la la laa la la, la la la laa, la la laa 
  
  
         C                             F          C 
And it's sad that we weren't born like horses and sheep 
                              F            G 
To know where we're going, to know what we need 
                       C         F           C 
But you've written the music, so we'll sing along 
                               F           C       
But tell us you love us, so we don't feel alone 
  
  
         F      C            F        C 
Give the poet a poem and the singer a song 
                                    F           C 
And then tell us you love us, so we don't feel alone 
      F           C           F           C 
So we don't feel alone, so we don't feel alone 
                                       F               C 
You got to tell us, you love us, so we don't feel all alone
