SHOWER THE PEOPLE  (James Taylor)
 

         D                         A 
You can play the game and you can act out the part
            Bm            D/A          G
Though you know it wasn't written for you
              D                                 A     A#dim7 
But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart
  Bm       D/A          G
Ashamed of playing the fool
 D                      A                 Bm       D/A   G
One thing can lead to another; it doesn't take any sacrifice
     D                  A        A#dim7
Oh, father and mother, sister and brother
            Bm     D/A         G    D/F#
if it feels nice, don't think twice


     Em7                    A
Just shower the people you love with love
 Em7                        A
Show them the way that you feel
 Em7                      A          A#dim7  Bm  F#dim7  
Things are gonna work out fine if you only  will
Em7                    A
Shower the people you love with love
Em7                         A
Show them the way that you feel
 Em7                      A           A#dim7  Bm 
Things are gonna be much better if you only  will.


 D                   A
You can run but you cannot hide
Bm      D/A      G
this is widely known
     D                             A     A#dim7
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
            Bm         D/A    G
when you're all by yourself alone
 D                          A          A#dim7  
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
         Bm       D/A         G 
you can feel it beginning to ease
              D                            A      A#dim7
I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel
Bm     D/A           G     D/F#
Always getting the grease.


       Em7                    A
Better shower the people you love with love
 Em7                        A
Show them the way that you feel
 Em7                      A          A#dim7  Bm  F#dim7  
Things are gonna be just fine if you only  will
Em7                  A
Show the people you love with love
Em7                         A
Show them the way that you feel
 Em7                      A           A#dim7  Bm    F#dim7
Things are gonna be much better if you only  will


Em7                    A
Shower the people you love with love
Em7                          A
Show them the way that you feel


Ad lib:
They say in every life
They say the rain must fall
Just like pouring rain
Make it rain
Love is sunshine
