      Esus4        Em                 Esus4   Em
Don't argue with a fool, for she will hurt you

    Esus4             Em             Esus4 Em
The best that you can do is step away

      Esus4           Em                  Esus4   Em
Don't tie yourself to children, they'll desert you

Fools and children live as if it's just today

Much contention causes losses and estrangement

Isolation is a sickness unto death

        Esus4           Em            Esus4   Em
Loss of love is a short pathway to derangement

Which is why I say make peace with every breath

Don't withdraw your hands from all that they can do

          C                             Am   Esus4 Em
Those who would deny your love may not have any

For the best of folks will see the best in you
[Instrumental] Esus4 Em [Verse]
          Esus4         Em             Esus4   Em
If you're asked to do a favor by your brother

    Esus4        Em           Esus4   Em
Even if it is an overwhelming task

        Esus4          Em            Esus4   Em
Don't ignore it nor exchange it for another

Undertake to do it just because he asks

Don't withdraw your hands from all that they can do

          C                            Am   Esus4 Em
Those who would deny your love may not have any

For the best of folks will see the best in you
[Instrumental] Esus4 Em [Verse]
        Esus4          Em               Esus4   Em
Mention misdeeds of a loved one in his presence

         Esus4      Em                 Esus4   Em
Lest the deadly pharaoh claim his every hair

       Esus4            Em              Esus4   Em
When a cherished one is mentioned in her absence

        Esus4              Em               Esus4   Em
Say what she would want to hear if she were there
[Verse]
             Esus4                Em                      Esus4   Em
You'll meet friends through other friends and they'll be stronger

   Esus4              Em                Esus4   Em
The way to trust and faith is faith and trust

  Esus4                    Em               Esus4   Em
Revere those first friends for their love is longer

        Esus4           Em             Esus4   Em
For the devil, for the devil's way's a bust
[Chorus]
          C                           Am    Esus4 Em
Don't get angry if you're called the worst of many

           C                             Am    Esus4 Em
Don't withdraw your hands from all that they can do

          C                             Am   Esus4 Em
Those who would deny your love may not have any

         C                         Am    Esus4 Em
