Love Child

• Bm

 
Bm  
 You think that I don't feel love, 
C 
 But what I feel for you is real love. 
Am 
 In other's eyes I see reflected, 
  F              E7 
a hurt, scorned...  rejected. 


Am             G 
Love child...  never meant to be. 
F              E 
Love child...  born in poverty. 
Am             G 
Love child...  never meant to be. 
F              E 
Love child...  take a look at me. 

#2. 
  Am                        G          D       Am 
I started my life...  in an old, cold, rundown tenement slum (tenement slum). 
   G               D          Am 
My father left, he never even married Mom. 
  C#m7                C 
I shared the guilt my Mama knew, 
D              F             E 
so afraid that others knew I had no name. 


Bm 
 This love we're contemplatin', 
C 
 Is worth the pain of waitin'. 
Am 
 We'll only end up hatin', 
F             E7 
 The child we may be creatin'. 

Am             G 
Love child...  never meant to be. 
F              E 
Love child...  scorned by society. 
Am             G  
Love child...  always second best. 
F              E 
Love child...  different from the rest. 

Am                     G     D 
  (Hold on, Hold on)...Mmmm, baby. 
Am                     G     D 
  (Hold on, Hold on)...Mmmm, baby. 


#2. 
Am                        G          D 
I started school...  in a worn, torn dress that 
    Am 
somebody threw out. 
  G               D               Am 
I knew the way it felt, to always live in doubt, 
   C#m7           C 
to be without the simple things, 
D            F                       E 
so afraid my friends would see...the guilt in me. 

Bm 
 Don't think that I don't need ya, 
C 
 Don't think I don't wanna please ya. 
Am    
 But no child of mine'll be bearin', 
F           E7 
the name of shame I've been wearin'. 

Am                        G 
Love child, Love child... never quite as good, 
F                    E 
afraid... ashamed... misunderstood. 

Outro: 
    Am          G           F            E            Am

          G            F                    E            Am

             G                              F                        E
