Love Is The Answer Chords by John Ford Coley

_ _ _ _ This was a song that [G] came out in about 1979. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Db] _
_ Just kind of keeps coming around [E] to that. _
And _ this was a very [G] unusual song.
_ It was the only song _ that was in the top ten in the US
that was not disco.
_ [N] _ _
That _ _ doesn't prove to you that there's a God and He loves me very much.
_ _ Did anybody like disco?
_ _ Oh stop it, you didn't.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I liked disco for one reason, that was it.
I was a good five inches taller during [F] that time.
Those high heel boots. _ _
See, Dan was like [N] six foot five and I was five ten.
And _ I got these boots and all of a sudden [F] I was up there in his range.
And then [G] he went and got some that were [B] higher.
_ [Bb] _ But anyway, thank you so [Ab] much for coming out tonight.
We hope you have a good [E] time.
You kind of got to go down memory lane a little [N] bit with some of these songs.
_ This one is close to a lot of spiritual ambiguity.
And I think that probably of all [G] the songs that Dan and I were blessed [D] with,
with having [Db] made singles out of, [F] this one hands down was my favorite.
Hope you [Gm] enjoy. _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ May _ [Gm] _ _
_ your [Dm] _ consecrated _ [Gm] _
_ _ [D] paradise
_ I [C] can't stay [Eb] here anymore
[F] And I [Gm] won't die [Dm] _ anymore
I've been [Gm] from shore to shore [D] to shore
And [C] dead to shore, [Eb] but I'm _ abandoned
But there's always a way [D] around it
Light of the [Gm] world, [Eb] [Dm] shine on me
Love is the [Cm] answer
_ _ _ Shine [Gm] on us [Cm] all, set [Dm] us free
Love is the [Cm] answer _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] Those ones, someday [Gm] we all [Dm] will understand _
We [Cm] are homeless [Gm] boys and [Eb] girls
[Cm] And we [Gm] _ _ [Dm] never learn
It's [Gm] such a lonely, lonely, [D] lonely world
[F] People [Cm] turn their heads [Gm] and look [Eb] _
awry
Tell me if the world's just [Dm] another lie
[Bb] Light of the [Gm] world, [Cm] shine on [Dm]
me
Love is the [Cm] answer
Shine _
_ [F] [Gm] on us all, [Eb] set [D] us [Dm] free
Love is [Gm] the answer
_ [Cm] _ _
[Gm] Tell me _ are we [Eb]
alive?
[Cm] It's just a time planning
[B] _
What are [Bb] the [F] changes? _ _
_ [Bb] There's [Gb] something in [Eb] your [F] heart for [Fm] the [Bb] ages _
You _ [Eb] _ [Dm] get [Gm] afraid
[Eb] And I won't deny
[Bb] That you've lost your way
[Ab] _
_ [Eb] _ [Dm] When you're [G] all alone
[Ab] _
_ [Eb] And [Dm] when [Gm] you're far from [Ab] _
home
[Dm] When you're [Gm] down and _ [Ab] _
out
[Eb] [Dm] When your hopes [Gm] run _ [Ab] _
[Eb] out
[D] Who do you [Gm] need to pray [Ab] to?
[Eb] Give _ [D] me [Gm] _ [Ab] a hand
Light _ _ _ _ _ _ of the [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Gm]
world, [Eb] shine [Dm] on me
Love is the [Cm] answer
_ _ _ [Gm] Shine on us all, [Cm] set [Dm] us free
Love is the [Gm] answer
_ _ _ Light of the world, [Cm] shine [Dm] on me
Love is the [C] answer
_ _ _ [Gm] _ Shine on us [Eb] all, set [Dm] us free
Love is the [Cm] _ answer
The world is [Gm] _ _
_ [F] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ ours
[Gm] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Gm] _ [Dm] _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ Thank _ [Eb] _
_ [D] _ _ [Gm] _ [Dm] _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
you _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] so very much!
God [N] bless!
