The more I love

VERSE

(Singer 1)

G

I was "get me mine"

C

I was "each for his own"

I was out for myself

D

I was all alone


I was self-absorbed

Self-obsessed

Self-contained

In a selfish net


BRIDGE

C D

Until one fine day, I believed


CHORUS

G

That the more I love

C

The more I live

G

The more I give

D

The more I grow


VERSE

(Singer 2)

Well it's one big picture

And there's one pot of paint

And we're all these little brushes

And we're making something great


Everyones' their part

And they're part of the whole

Step back and look

At one big beautiful soul


BRIDGE + CHORUS

Cos one fine day I believed


VERSE

(Singer 1)

Em

My goal in life

Am

Was to satisfy my needs

Em

Only then I could be happy

D

Or so I believed


For years I did everything

My little heart desired

But the more I fed the flames

The bigger grew the fires


BRIDGE

Til' one fine day I believed


CHORUS (Instrumental)


VERSE (Strummed)

(Singer 3)

Only when the hungry get fed

Will I feel full

When the sick get better 

Will I be well


(Singer 4)

My country's at war

so I can't be at peace

Once they cut up all the weapons

I will feel release


BRIDGE

One fine day I believe

MIDDLE

(Singer 3)

Em

Service is love

Am

Put in action

Em

Enough is enough

F D

Paint your way to paradise


CHORUS

Cos the more I love

The more I live

The more I give

The more I get


The more I serve

The more I grow

The more I sow

The more I reap


Cos the more I love

The more I live

The more I give

The more I get


VERSE (Strummed/Spoken)

(Singer 2)

I've painted moonlit panoramas

And a heavenly sunrise

But the light I've yet to capture

Is in a child's eyes


When they see they can do something

And they start to dream

And the world's a better place

With self-esteem




EXTRA

VERSE



BRIDGE + CHORUS



I used to play for myself

Now I'm the drummer in a band

I bring everyone together

With the rhythm in my hands


And I've got a purpose

A place in the world

And it's the greatest feeling

That I ever had
