In this world, if you read the papers, Lord,
             F                             C
You know everybody's fighting on with each other.
         C
You got no one you can count on, baby,
     C        Bb    F
Not even your own brother.
       C            E
So if someone comes along,
            F                     Ab
He's gonna give you some love and affection
