A           D           A
Without love I am half human
        F#m E7            A
Without love  I'm all machine
            D                 A F#m
Without love there's nothing doing
        A E7         A
I will die  without love

Without love I am an island
All by myself in a heartbreak sea
Without love there's no denying
I am dying without love

Chorus:
      E7
For there is nowhere I can run
B7               E7
And there is no hiding place
E7
Sticking out like a sore thumb
B7              E7           D
By that gloomy look upon my face

Without love I'm incomplete
Without love I am not whole
Without love I'm barely on my feet
I am dying without love

Chorus

Without love I'm incomplete
Without love I am not whole
Without love I'm barely on my feet
I am dying without love

I am dying without love
