[Verse]
A F#m
the house next door is worn and old,
A F#m
I don't know how it can hold so
D E
but the people living there are so close together
D E
that old house can stand any kind of weather
A F#m
and my house, it's like a mansion
A F#m
standing so great and tall
D E
but for all the love that's in it
A D A
it might as well fall
A F#m
the car they drive it's not much to see
A F#m
it's kinda beat up and raggedy
D E
but it takes them anyplace they wanna go
D E
it takes them to a park or a movie show
A F#m
and listen my car, its a new car
A F#m
oh it's the best of any they've made
D E
but for all the joy it brings me
A D A
I might as well trade
A
'cause I gotta find love
F#m
I gotta find love
A C#m
the kind of love I'm looking for
Bm E A
can be found in the house next door
Bb Gm
they got half a dozen kids that they can hardly feed
Bb Gm
well they're always short of everything they need
Eb F
well even though they haven't got a lot
Eb F
they seem so content with what they've got
Bb Gm
and I've got all the money
Bb Gm
a man could ever hope to save
Eb F
but for all the love it brings me
Bb Eb Bb
I'd give it away
Bb
'cause I gotta find love
Gm
I gotta find love
Bb Dm
the kind of love I'm looking for
Cm F Bb
