No more money running it

We'll bring back love

We'll bring back love again

Now I was standing in a Chapel
F
It's not something I normally did
Dm
But I was broke and a mess
Am G
And I had nothing to get
C
A man put money in my pocket
F
I just stared straight up and looked at him
Dm
He said "Go take it son
Am G
You could do much more with it."
Dm Am G
And we all could learn from him
Dm Am G
Yeah I will never forget what he said

I just paid my final debt
Dm
I see a woman and her son
Am G
Yeah they had no place to live
C
The boy was turning out his pockets
F
I heard him wish he had a bed
Dm Am G
I said "I have some room you could use to get back in."
Dm Am G
She said "I'm not sure if I can pay you for this"
That's fine, I'm hoping...
