I [Ab] know you're searching, _ _ [Eb] _ [Ab]
I know [Eb] you're searching for _ _ [Bb]
the love, [Ab] _ a little peace, a [Eb] little understanding
_ _ _ _ [Bb]
and I know it's [Ab] been hard, _ all trying to find _ [Eb] _ [Fm] you, [Eb] but you [Bb] got to keep [Ab] on searching, _ _ [Eb] harder
than my day, tell me, tell me, tell me, who you talking to? _
[Bb] _ I'm on you, [Ab] _ and you, _ and you,
and you, and you, [Eb] and you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and you.
[Bb] Stand on [Ab] up, a little love in your heart,
a little heart in your lungs.
_ [Eb] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ [Gb] _ _
[Gm] _ [Ab] _ _ I'll [Eb] sing you songs bro, I'll [Bb] sing you songs where your laughs
are all the whole world can hear, [Ab] guys. _
I gotta tell you something, _ looking out in the [Eb] audience tonight
happens to be a joy for the Commodores, [Bb] because coming back to Atlanta is [Ab] like coming home.
And I tell you something, the more we look out in the audience, the [Eb] more we see one thing.
[Bb] And we started out last time with [Ab] what, 9,000, then 10,000, 16,000.
[Eb] Now it looks like we're going to have to find a [Bb] larger place to play for the Commodores
family, y'all.
[Ab] Y'all about to get too large for this building, I can see it.
_ Oh yeah.
[Eb] But I tell you, [Bb] you should feel very proud about one [Ab] thing, because we have accomplished
the one word, we have not accomplished anything else [Eb] throughout the nine years of being together.
[Bb] And I'm going to say that word to you [Ab] again, in case you've forgotten it. _
That word happens to be tonight, _ [Eb] _ together.
_ [Bb] _ Together we made a way.
[Ab] _ With your hand, with your help, [Eb] and with all the inspiration to write the music and the
words that we write, [Bb] together got us tonight.
[Ab] Looking at you in the audience, you're looking at the Commodores on stage.
So tonight I want each [Eb] and every one of you to feel like one [Bb] great big happy family.
[Ab] And I think if we start a love affair between the Commodores and all of you out there, [Eb] we've
got something for the world to talk about.
In fact, we [Bb] might even change the world if it gets too heavy.
[Ab] But right now tonight, I want you to feel just as much a part of the [Eb] Commodores as we
feel of you out there.
[Bb] And all it takes is one simple thing, one simple [Ab] vibe to keep us going, and that [Ab] is a family.
[Bb] I want [Eb] everybody right now listening to my voice [Bb] to raise one hand.
Better [Ab] still, better still.
I want everybody listening to my voice to stand up out your seats, right where you [Eb] are.
Stand up on this side.
Stand up right [Bb] down here.
Stand up on that side, in the back.
[Ab] I want you to stand up and raise your hand.
And I want you to sing these words.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ Now we've been bragging about you Atlanta, Georgia.
Let me hear you sing the song [Eb] right now.
Let me, whoa. _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ Now you know you've got to sing louder than that for the whole world to hear [Eb] you.
You've got to say whoa. _
_ [Bb] _ Sounding good today.
[Ab] _ _
Sweet, sweet love.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _
Oh, [Bb] you sound so good today.
_ _ [Ab] _ Sweet, sweet love.
Now it's your solo.
[Eb] Say whoa. _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ Oh, y'all sound like a choir.
Can I get just a [Eb] little bit louder?
So I say whoa. _
[Bb] _ _ Yeah.
_ [Ab] Now all y'all that don't feel like raising your hand, I want you to up your hand.
[Eb] And I want y'all to feel [Bb] it.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ Sweet, sweet love. Sing it.
[Eb] Oh, _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ sweet, [Ab] sweet love.
Now y'all keep on singing right what you're singing right now.
[Eb] _ _ _
_ [Bb] Oh, _ _ [Ab] _ what I'm trying to say.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ Oh, _ [Bb] sweet, sweet love.
[Ab] Oh, the _ _ only way.
And [Eb] I never know. _
[Bb] Sweet love.
_ Sweet, [Ab] sweet love. _
_ Yeah.
Oh, [Eb] _ baby.
_ [Bb] _ Yeah.
[Ab] Sweet love.
I want y'all to sing real loud.
You [Eb] say whoa. _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ Sweet [Eb] love. _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ Come on, y'all.
Come on, y'all. _ _
_ _ [Eb] Sweet love to you, and give yourselves a hand.
Everybody's a star.
Come on, yeah. _ _
