            [Verse 1]
        D                         A
You can play the game and you can act out the part
           Bm             D/A         G
Though you know it wasn't written for you
             D                                 A      A#dim7
But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart
  Bm           D/A     G
Ashamed of playing the fool
D                        A     
One thing can lead to an-other; 
            Bm        D/A   G
it doesn't take any sac-ri-fice
    D                      A       A#dim7
Oh, father and mother, sis-ter and brother,
Bm          D/A      G           (D/F#)
if it feels nice, don't think twice
[Chorus]
D/F# Em7                   A
Just shower the people you love with love
Em7                         A
Show them the way that you feel
Em7                       A           A#dim7 Bm   F#dim7
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
Em7                   A
Shower the people you love with love
Em7                         A
Show them the way that you feel
Em7                       A            A#dim7 Bm     C   G
Things are gonna be much better if you only will.
[Verse 2]
D                         A
    You can run but you cannot hide;
Bm             D/A    G
       this is widely known
    D                             A            A#dim7
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
            Bm         D/A   G
when you're all by yourself alone
         D                 A 
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
        Bm        D/A        G
you can feel it beginning to ease
             D                            A            A#dim7
I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel
Bm     D/A         G           (D/F#)
always getting the grease.
[Chorus]
     Em7                   A
Just shower the people you love with love
Em7                         A
Show them the way that you feel
Em7                       A           A#dim7 Bm   F#dim7
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
Em7                   A
Shower the people you love with love
Em7                         A
Show them the way that you feel
Em7                       A            A#dim7 Bm   C   G
Things are gonna be much better if you only will.
D/F#      Em7                   A
Better to shower the people you love with love
Em7                         A
Show them the way that you feel
Em7                      A           A#dim7 Bm   F#dim7
Things are gonna be just fine if you only will
Em7                   A
Shower the people you love with love
Em7                         A
Show them the way that you feel
Em7                       A            A#dim7 Bm  
Things are gonna be much better if you only will.
[Outro]
Em7                   A               Em7                        A
Shower the people you love with love; show them the way that you feel (repeat)
              Em7         A
  They say in every life,
               Em7               A
  They say the rain must fall
            Em7               A
  Just like pouring rain
          Em7        A
  Make it rain
          Em7        A                     Em7       A
  Make it rain....  Love, love, love is sunshine.
          Em7        A       D
  Make it rain
