own [B] all the _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
vouchers
In the middle [Ab] of a fair with a common man [B] sitting _
And you'll come _ _ quick, and you'll come [Gb] here
And now we're full _ [Abm] tonight _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
You [B] step, you _ [Gb] fall, [Bm] you climb [Gb] when you can _ _
You're looking for life, [B] your _ [Gb] body will say
You'll mend it then when the time is always right
_ _ You'll struggle, _ _ _ but you'll _ make it _ nice, [B] you'll _ start
Feel like a child, feel you don't [Abm] love [Eb] God _ _
[Ebm] You'll struggle, but you'll make it _ nice, [F] you'll [B] start _
You'll reach [F] your life, [B] you'll take it fast
You'll never [F] get [Gb] it right, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ you've always _ messed up
[B] _ So, you in [Abm] a [B] daze, take a break, and go home [Abm] where you [Ebm] are
It's _ all for _ love _ tonight, it's [F] all [B] you, _ you sing your life
Let's just dance around, don't [Gb] care where you're from
_ First world, we've all lost our sense of

It's _ _ alright, for when you take my [Eb] hand _
It's alright, _ _ for when you [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _

How come this _ life's so, it's _ over _ _ _
Let's get _ _ _ [B] [Bbm] it, _
[Db] we call [Gb] _ _ ourselves [Db] a _ sensitive _ _
It's _ over, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
we [Bbm] _ call _ [B] _ ourselves [Bbm] a _ _ [Gb] sensitive _
[B] It's over, _ _ [Gb] _ _
[B] let's get _ _ _ it
[Db] We call _ _ [Gb] _ ourselves with _ _ sunglasses _ _
_ So, _ _ _ _ let's get it _ _
Even at [F] night [B] time, _ feelin' just like [Bb] _ [Ebm] _ God
It's all for love tonight, _ _ [B] it's all you, you sing your life
