Wise Man

G                  D 
A wise man said to me 
                        Em 
Give all your love for free 
                         C 
And what you’re given in return 
                       G 
Is more than you can earn 
                                   D 
And when you’re ready to find real wealth 
                       Em 
Put another before yourself 
                          C 
Cause it’s lonely at the top 
                          G 
Until we all have got a spot 


G 
Hey now, would you like a seat? 
          D 
You been walking for a while 

Do you need something to drink? 
          Em 
I’ve been waiting on a smile 

Just to see what you would think 
          C 
It’s the closest thing to magic 

That my eyes have ever seen 
G 
Oh lord, my life feels so complete 
   D 
A little bit of salt 

With a little bit of sweet 
      Em 
And a whole lotta laughs 

Wrapped up in family 
          D 
Yeah I’m stepping on the gas 

Til my dreams aren’t in my sleep, yeah

G 
Oh boy, I’m turning up the heat 
      D 
Gotta keep it buzzin 

Like a busy bee working in the street 
        Em 
Cause I find that nothing is the something 

That I need to be complete 
          C 
Yeah, I’m rolling to the rhythm 

Of a never ending beat, yeah 
  G 
OK, love is all you need 
     D 
Everybody says it but the doing’s incomplete 
          Em 
There’s a million lonely people that are ready to receive 
         C 
Don’t be afraid, there’s a person out there that you’re about to meet, yeah 

 
G 
There’s not enough fancy things 
D 
Not enough gold or diamond rings 
Em 
No amount of money could ever buy 
C 
The evening glow or the nighttime sky 
G 
And when it all comes to an end 
D 
And all that’s left is love and friends 
Em 
And all the things you loved so much 
D 
Will always be a part of us
