VERSE1:
F              Gm       Gm7   F          Gm   Gm7
I used to walk all over town,   all over town
F                     Gm    Gm7         Gm   F    C
  Past the street-car lines     and the reservoir 


VERSE2:
F                Gm         Gm7   Am            Gm   Gm7
I used to wander all up and down,    all up and down
F             Gm   Gm7          F
  Waitin' for love     from someone


CHORUS:
Bb                     C
I was waitin' for affection
          Dm      N.C.
But I was lookin' in the wrong direction
                  Bb                C           F    Bb   C
What I needed was not so much to be loved as to love


[repeat VERSE1]


VERSE:
F                Gm         Gm7   F            Gm  Gm7
I used to wander all up and down,   all up and down
F                     Gm   Gm7        F
Waitin' for someone's love     a long time, yeah


CHORUS:
  Bb                      C
A young man is allowed to yearn
       Dm      N.C.
But it took me so long to learn
              Bb                C           F   Bb   C
That I needed not so much to be loved as to love

CHORUS:
  Bb                      C
A young man is allowed to yearn
       Dm      N.C.
But it took me so long to learn
              Bb                C           Dm        Am
That I needed not so much to be loved as to love. Oh.
Bb                C           F
Not so much to be loved as to love
