Stand Up for Love

There are (Ab)times I (Db)find it hard to (Bbm)sleep at (Ab)night.

We (Fm)are living through (Eb6)such troubled (Bb)times,

(Eb7sus)and ev'ry (Ab)child that (Adim)reaches out for (Bbm7)someone to hold,

for one (Fm)moment they (Cm)become my (Eb7sus)own.

(Edim)And how can (Fm7sus)I (Fm)(Eb6)pretend that I don't (Dbmaj13)know what's going (Ab)on when ev'ry (Bbm7)second of ev'ry (Ab)minute under the (Dbm6)soul is gone?

(Eb7sus)And I (Ab)believe that (Eb)in my life I will (Cm7)see (Dbmaj7)an end to (Bbm7)hopelessness,

(Eb7sus)of giving up, of (Ab)(Eb)(Fm)suffering.

And we all (Ab)stand (Abaug)together this one (Ab6)time,

then (Ab7)no one will get (Dbmaj9)left behind.

(Cm7)Stand (Fm)up for (Bbm7)life.

(Cm7)Stand (Fm)up and hear me (Bbm7)sing.

(Eb7)Stand up for (Ab)love.

(Eb7sus)I'm (Ab)inspired and (Bbm)(Ab)hopeful each (Bbm)and ev'ry (Ab)day:

that's how I (Fm)know that (Cm7)things are gonna (Bb)change.

(Eb7)So how can (Fm7sus)I (Fm)(Eb6)pretend that I don't (Dbmaj13)know what's going (Ab)on when ev'ry (Bbm7)second of ev'ry (Ab)minute under the (Dbm6)soul is gone?

(Eb7sus)And I (Ab)believe that (Eb)in my life I will (Cm7)see (Dbmaj7)an end to (Bbm7)hopelessness,

(Eb7sus)of giving up, of (Ab)(Eb)(Fm)suffering.

And we all (Ab)stand (Abaug)together this one (Ab6)time,

then (Ab7)no one will get (Dbmaj9)left behind.

(Cm7)Stand (Fm)up for (Bbm7)life.

(Cm7)Stand (Fm)up and hear me (Bbm7)sing.

(Eb7)Stand up for (Ab)love.

(Eb7sus)I'm (Ab)inspired and (Bbm)(Ab)hopeful each (Bbm)and ev'ry (Ab)day:

that's how I (Fm)know that (Cm7)things are gonna (Bb)change.

(Eb7)So how can (Bbm7)life.

(Emaj7)Stand up for love.

(Ab)And it all starts right here (Fm7)and it starts right now:

one person (Emaj7)stands up and,

and the rest will follow.

For (Eb7sus)all the forgotten, for (Eb7)all the unloved,

(Ab)I'm gonna sing this song.

And I believe that (Eb)in my life I will (Cm7)see (Dbmaj7)an end to (Bbm7)hopelessness,

(Eb7sus)of giving up, of (Ab)(Eb)(Fm)suffering.

(E)If we all (A)stand (Aaug)together this one (A6)time,

then (A7)no one will get (Dmaj9)left behind.

(C#m7)Stand (F#m7)up for (Bm7)life.

(C#m7)Stand (F#m7)up and sing.

(E7sus)Stand up for (A)love,

(Bm)for (D)love, for (A)love.
