Not Enough Love In The World
From the album - Building the Perfect Beast (1984)  
Songwriters: Don Henley, Danny Kortchmar, Benmont Tench

Intro:
C G Am F x2

Verse:

C                               G  
Sometimes I wonder, where it is love goes
Am                   F
I don't know if even heaven knows
C                          G      
I know you had some dreams that didn't quite come true
Am                                    F
And now I'm not the one, little girl, who's keepin' you

Chorus:
C                                    G
I was either standing in your shadow or blockin' your light
Am                              F 
Though I kept on tryin' I could not make it right
C                          F          G           C     F    G  
For you girl, there's just not enough love in the world

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                          Am
Oh darlin', this is still a shady little town
G                             C
And sometimes it's so hard to smile
Dm                                Am
For the world, for the camera and still have somethin' left
Dm                      Em
You don't have to prove nothin' to nobody
F              G
Just take good 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                          F          G           C
For you girl, there's just not enough love in the world
F          G           C x4
Not enough love in the world
In the world, in the world, in the world
