To love anybody.

Oh honey, I wanna talk about love
And trying to hold somebody

The way I love you babe,
              D
And I've been loving you babe. 
G          Am                  C
In my brain, oh I can see your face again,
                 G            F
I know my frame of mind, yeah.
            G                               D
But nobody, nobody has to ever be so blind,
Honey, like I did, I know I was blind,
         C
Honey, I tell you that I was, I was very, very blind.
G                       Am
Oh but I'm just a girl,
                                     C
Can't you just take a look at me and tell,
                          G                       
Tell that I live, honey I live and I breathe for you,
                     F  
Don't you know I do! 
                      G
But what good, what good,
Honey, what good could ever do
          D
'Cause I ain't got you, that's all I've ever wanted,
      C                                                    G
And I ain't got you, babe, oh but I've been looking 'round.
                                             D
But you don't know, you don't know what it's like,

Oh to love anybody.
Oh honey I wanna talk about 
                C
Trying to hold somebody when you're lonely
         G 
The way I loved you, baby,
                              F
And I just want you to know I tried. 
G                        Am
Oh I know that there's a way
                                         C  
'Cause everybody came to me one time and said,
"Honey, you can do anything,
G                                     F
Every little thing, and I think I can.
                         G 
Oh, but what good, what good,
Honey, what awfully good can it ever, ever bring,
D
'Cause I can't find you with my love,
      C                                 G    
And I can't find you babe, oh anywhere.
Oh, but you don't know,
                         D             
You don't know what it's like,
No you don't and you never ever, ever did.
C  
You don't know, honey,
                         G
You don't know what it's like
                   D
Oh to love anybody.
                                               C
Oh honey I wanna talk about trying to hold you. 
                     G  
Oh baby, baby, baby, yeah,
But you don't know,
                         D
You don't know what it's like,
  
And you never ever, ever did,
         C       
I said I tried to throw my love around you
And I tried to help you darling.
G
But you never ever, no you never ever,
G                                     D
No you never ever, no you never ever,
            
I know that you know that
                         C
No you never ever, ever, ever,
C
Oh let me throw my love,
                  G
Throw my love all around you, yeah.
