A     D   A
Oooh..Ooo-oh
A     D   A
Oooh..Ooo-oh
A                            D             A
I tell you it will shake the earth beneath your feet
A                                   D        A
The light that shines will redefine your old beliefs
A                                 D     A
What you reap is what you sow and so it goes
A                             D                 A
Where you plant your needs is where your garden grows
           G5(G no 3rd)
Before you think about yourself
D                                       A 
Think of someone else, it will make you feel
A
Each day ain't wine and roses
  D                   A
I doubt it's meant to be
A                          D                A
Always a cross to bear salvation don't come free
A                                  D          
A heart that beats is a heart that bleeds
                    A
And you know that's true
A                         D                  A
So don't deny yourself of something good for you
           G5(G no 3rd)        D
Before you do it for yourself, do it for someone else
              A
That makes it real

Chorus:

                D  (sub D7 for more bluesy vibe)
'Cause when you love someone
   A (sub A7)
It don't matter what you say
         D (sub D7)
When you love someone
         A (sub A7)
You will dance the night away
         D (sub D7)
When you love someone
            A (sub A7)
There ain't nothing you can't do
           E (sub E7)
Ain't that right
E (sub E7)
Yeah I want to love someone tonight

A                                D              A
Will you believe in love or just sit around and judge?
A                          D             A       
Can you forgive someone or will u hold a grudge?
A                           D              A
Cuz above selfishness there lies a bright blue sky
A                                 D                 A
And wealth and happiness can be a long and lonesome ride
         G5
Yes it's hard to steer yourself
D                                     A
Without that someone else to take the wheel
A
Take the wheel

(Chorus is same)

***Follow with 4 bars of any variation of the intro...

***The bass only plays this verse.  You could sub the guitar picking progression
(the 2nd one IMHO)

Do you believe in the art of growing old

Do you believe that rock n roll can save your soul

Do you believe in everything you do

Cuz when you do that's when it all comes back to you

Before you think about yourself

Think of someone else

Do it for yourself

And do it for someone else

When you love someone -

*Enjoy... probably will sound good around the campfire!  Good Lyrics!
