(Without a 1/10 of the soul of Ray Charles, but here goes)


D#                             G#              D#
I awakened this morning I was filled with despair
                        Cm        F7      A#7
All my dreams turned to ashes and gone oh yeah
D#                             G#          D#
As I looked at my life it was barren and bare
                   A#7         D#
Without love I've had nothing at all  

                            G#          D#
Once I had a sweetheart who loved only me
                          Cm            F7       A#7
There was nothing oh that she would not give  oh no
D#                                   G#           D#
But I was blind to her goodness and I could not see
                     A#7          D#
That a heart without love cannot live

      A#7             D#
Without love  I've had nothing
        G#             F7         A#7
Without love I've had nothing at all
       D#                           G#
I have conquered the world all but one thing did I have
        D#             A#7         D#
Without love I've had nothing at all
