_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[C#m] People all over the world, [B] everywhere we go, we [C#m] find people all over the world [B] simply starving _
for affection, _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] for affection.
_ _ [B] _ _ _
[C#m] And to me it isn't funny, [B] to me this is real, so I [C#m] figured we'd tell everybody [B] the way we
feel [C#m] about affection _ [B] and how people need [C#m] plain old affection.
_ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ [B] _ _ You know?
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
Now we [C#m] got TV and there's stereos [G#m] with tons of records, [B]
yes [C#m] and there's books and magazines
[B] everywhere, _ but [C#m] plain old affection sits there over [B] in the corner.
It wonders, [C#m] does anyone remember that I'm [B] still here?
And I know [C#m] it takes courage to reach out [B] to people when [C#m] they seem to want your touch,
but [B] you can't tell, cause they [C#m] can always laugh or [B] misunderstand you, _ [C#m] and you probably
won't like [B] that so well.
But I say [C#m] that people all [B] over the world are [B] good, and people all over the world are not
[C#] bad, but if someone [B] don't start it first, we won't get what [C#] we wish we had, which [C#m] is affection.
_ _ [B] And I know they're starving for [C#m] affection. _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _

_ [B] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [C#m] Well I'll tell you about myself now, the way I used [B] to be.
_ _ [C#m] I used to blame the world, cause I got [B] no affection, _ [C#m] and it's lonely in the world, [B] I suppose.
But [C#m] I used to be a snob, I'd say, oh [B] I don't have time for those people, and I [C#m] used to
say, oh I don't have anything in common [B] with those.
_ Then [C#] I relaxed a little, and I met more [B] people who just liked me.
[C#m] That gave me the courage to reach [B] out and give, _ [C#m] and that helped me to get more [B] affection,
_ _ [C#] and that helped me [B] to live.
So I say that [C#m] people all over the world [B] are good, and people all over the [C#m] world are not
bad, but if they keep on chickening out, they won't get what they [C#m] wish they had, which is affection. _ _
[B] And I know they need [C#m] affection.
_ That's all [B] it is.
