Verse 1:
C Dm Dm7 C7 Dm Dm7 G7
I've been looking at people and how they change with the times;
C Dm C F
And lately all I've been seeing are people
C G7sus
Throwing love away and losing their minds;
Verse 2:
C Dm Dm7 C7 Dm Dm7 G7
Maybe it's me that's gone crazy, 'Cause I can't figure out why;
C Dm C F
All these lovers keep hurting each other,
C Dm7
When good love is so hard to come by;
Chorus
C Am Dm7 G7sus
So what's the glory in living?
G7 C Dm7 G7sus G7
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
C Dm7 C Dm7 C G C
And if love never lasts forever, tell me What's Forever For?
Verse 3:
C Dm Dm7 C7 Dm Dm7 G7
I've been listening to people and they say love is the key;
C Dm C F
And it's not my way to let them lead me astray;
C Dm7
It's only that I want to believe;
Chorus
F Em7 Am
I see love hungry people tryin' their best to survive,
Dm7 Em7
While in their head they dream of romance,
F G7sus
If they can keep it alive;
C Am Dm G7sus
So, what's the glory in living?
G7 C Am Dm G7sus G7
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
C Dm C F C G7 C Dm7
And if love never lasts forever, tell me What's Forever For?
