INTRO: Em   G  C    Em  G  C  G

                D           Em          
I have seen the young girls cry
Am                G          C
Thinking love has passed them by
        Am                C     D
They're struggling with a heavy load
        G                    C        G
But if love's not here, it's down the road


                D         Em          
I have seen the young men run
     Am                   G        C     ~ Am
Just like their fathers', fathers' sons
                       C         D
They take the love and leave the shame
        G                  C     G
But one day love will call their name [and say]


CHORUS:
             C       Em     D
Can you love without needing
        G       C        Em    D
Lift it up as a silent prayer
        G         C             Em      D
Can you open your heart without bleeding
          G          C      Am
Take your open heart everywhere
        Bm       Em      Am        D
Can you hold a place within your breast
    Em             C      G  D
For someone you've never met
     G      C   Em      D
Then love's not through with you yet


INTERLUDE: Em   G  C    Em  G  C  G


                   D       Em          
I have climbed the lover's lane
     Am              G           C
I've felt the joy, I've felt the pain
Am          C        D
Asking for another's soul
    G                   C       G
And thinking they could make me whole


  Em                 Bm     Em          
I heard a voice from deep inside
       Am               Em        C  
Saying you're not blamed for love you've tried
Am                 G          D
You may think that love takes two
    G                  C   G
But love's a gift from you to you


CHORUS:
             C         Em   D
Can you love without needing
        G       C        Em    D
Lift it up as a silent prayer
         G         C             Em      D
'Til you open your heart without bleeding
          G          C      Am
Take your open heart everywhere
       Bm    Em       Am G D
I have tried without ceasing
        Em       C     G   D
To give love without regret
           G       C   Em      D        Am
And I know love is not through with me yet


INTERLUDE: Am    G  C    D  Em    D


        Bm     Em        Am G       D
Can you hold a place within your breast
    Em             C     G   D
For someone you've never met__
        Em     C   Em           D
I guess love's not through with you
    G      C   G            D
And love's not through with me
       G      C   G      D        Em   G  C    Em  G  C  G
I know love's not through with us yet
