Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
G Am7 Em7(riff)
Ain't no love... in the heart of town,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Ain't no love, and it's sure 'nough a pity,
G Cmaj7/G Am7 Em7 F#m7 Em7
Ain't no love, 'cause you ain't a - round!
Em7(riff) Em G Am7
When you were mine---, oh, I was feeling so good,
D7sus4 Em
'Cause your love lit up... this old neighbourhood,
Em G Am7
But, now that you're gone----, you know, the sun don't shine,
D7sus4 C G D/F#
From the City Hall...to the County Line! That's why I said...
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
G Am7 Em7(riff)
Ain't no love... in the heart of town,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Ain't no love, and it sure is a pity,
G Cmaj7/G Am7 Em7 F#m7 Em7
Ain't no love, 'cause you ain't a - round!
