Songwriters: Don Henley, Danny Kortchmar, Benmont Tench
Intro:
C G Am F x2
Verse:
[C]Sometimes I wonder, where it is [G]love goes
[Am]I don't know if even [F]heaven knows
[C]I know you had some dreams [G]that didn't quite come true
[Am]And now I'm not the one, little girl, [F]who's keepin' you
Chorus:
[C]I was either standing in your shadow [G]or blockin' your light
[Am]Though I kept on tryin' I could [F]not make it right
[C]For you girl, there's just [F]not enough [G]love in the [C]world[F][G]
Verse:
I know people hurt you so bad
They don't know the damage they can do and it makes me so sad
How we knock each other down just like children on a playground
Even after that ol' sun went down
Chorus:
I was either standing in your shadow or blockin' your light
Though I kept on tryin' I could not make it right
For you girl, there's just not enough love in the world
Bridge:
[Dm]Oh darlin', this is still a [Am]shady little town
[G]And sometimes it's so hard to [C]smile
[Dm]For the world, for the camera and [Am]still have somethin' left
[Dm]You don't have to prove [Em]nothin' to nobody
[F]Just take good [G]care of yourself
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
Verse:
I'm not easy to live with, I know that it's true
You're no picnic either, babe and that's one of the things I loved about you
Time will come around when we need to settle down
Got to get off this merry-go-round
Chorus:
I was either standing in your shadow or blockin' your light
Though I kept on tryin' I could not make it right
For you girl, there's just not enough love in the world
Outro:
[C]For you girl, there's just [F]not enough [G]love in the [C]world
F G C x4
Not enough love in the world
In the world, in the world, in the world
