Human Touch
^^^^^^^^^^^

     :   A     G*  D       <G* = G w/suspended A>

You and me we were the pretenders
A             G*          D
We let it all slip away
A             G*    D
In the end what you don't surrender
A                   G*       D
Well the world just strips away
G                           A
Girl, ain't no kindness in the face of strangers
A                              G*      D
Ain't gonna find no miracles here
A                   G*       D
Well you can wait on your blesses my darling
A                         G*         D
I got a deal for you right here
G                          A
I ain't looking for praise or pity
G                   D
I ain't coming 'round searching for a crutch
G                     D               G
I just want someone to talk to
G           D
And a little of that Human Touch
G                          A
Just a little of that Human Touch
G                           A



Ain't no mercy on the streets of this town
A                     G*         D
Ain't no bread from Heavenly skies
A                   G*       D
Ain't nobody drawing wine from this blood
A                    G*        D
It's just you and me tonight
G                      A
Tell me, in a world without pity
G             D
Do you think what I'm askin's too much
G                     D           G
I just want something to hold on to
G                     D
And a little of that Human Touch
G                          A
Just a little of that Human Touch
G                           A

     

Oh girl that feeling of safety that you prize
B-minor      G          D               A
Well it comes at a hard hard price
        E-minor              B-minor
You can't shut off the risk and the pain
B-minor   G            D            A
Without losing the love that remains
        E-minor              B-minor
We're all riders on this train
B-minor                  G

G  D...>

So you've been broken and you've been hurt
A                     G*         D
Show me somebody who ain't
A           G*       D
Yeah, I know I ain't nobody's bargain
A                    G*       D
But, hell, a little touch up and a little paint...
G                                         A
You might need something to hold on to
G                        D
When all the answers, they don't amount to much
G                    D                     G
Somebody that you could just to talk to
G             D
And a little of that Human Touch
G                          A
Baby, in a world without pity
G          D
Do you think what I'm askin's too much
G                     D             G
I just want to feel you in my arms
G              D
Share a little of that Human Touch
G                            A
Feel a little of that Human Touch
G                           A
Give me a little of that Human Touch
G                              A
