Love To Be Loved

Gabriel Peter

Intro: Em

1. So, you know how people are. When it's all gone much too far   
   The way their minds are made. Still, there's something you should know   
   That I could not let show that fear of letting go
   D                    Em
   And in this moment, I need to be needed
   D                                    Em
   With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked
   D                                Em
   In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted
   C      G
   'Cause I love to be loved
   D          Em
   I love to be loved
   C      G
   I love to be loved
   D           Em
   Yes, I love to be loved

2. I cry the way that babies cry. The way they can't deny   
   the way they feel. Words, they climb all over you   
   'Til they uncover you from where you hide
   And in this moment, I need to be needed
   When my self-esteem is sinking, I like to be liked
   In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted
   'Cause I love to be loved
   I love to be loved
   I love to be loved
   Oh I love to be loved

   F        Am       G
*: This old familiar craving
   F                      Am     G
   I've been here before, this way of behaving
   F                  Am       G      F        Am G
   Don't know who the hell I'm saving anymore
   F      Am          G         F
   Let it pass let it go let it leave
   Am      G     F
   From the deepest place I grieve
   Am   G F       Am
   This time I believe

   G     F   Am  G
   And I let go
   F  Am G   F   Am
   And I let go
   G       F        Am  G
   I can let go of it
   F               Am      G           F
   Though it takes all the strength in me
   Am      G         F
   And all the world can see
   Am      G       F
   I'm losing such a central part of me
   Am    G
   I can let go of it
   F          Am   G
   You know I mean it
   F             Am     G
   You know that I mean it
   F           Am       G
   I recognize how much I've lost
   F                     Am
   But I cannot face the cost
   G           F      Am  G  F
   'Cause I love to be loved
   
   Am  G        F      Am  G
   Yes I love to be loved
   F

   F            Am  A5
