Intro

     

Verse 1

You can play the game and you can act out the part
Though you know it wasn't written for you
Tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart
Ashamed of playing the fool
One thing can lead to another;
it doesn't take any sacri-fice
Oh, father and mother, sister and brother,
if it feels nice, don't think twice, just

Chorus

Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
Do as I say, yes
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will  

Verse 2

You can run but you cannot hide;
this is widely known
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride 
when you're all by yourself alone
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
you can feel it beginning to ease
I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel 
always getting the grease

Chorus

Better to shower the people you love with love, yes and
Show them the way that you feel
I know things are gonna be just fine if you only will
What I'd like to do to you
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will  

Interlude

Em7 G A D/F# A/B Em7 G A x2

Chorus

Oooh shower the people you love with love (Yeah)
Show them the way that you feel
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel

Outro

Shower the people you love with love;
show them the way that you feel (repeat)
They say in every life, 
They say the rain must fall 
Just like the pouring rain 
Make it rain 
Make it rain.... Love, love, love is sunshine 
Make it rain
