 Am                          F                  
 Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river
 C         Em/B              D                 
  Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea
 F                               E            
  You lay your bets and then you pay the price

 Communication is the problem to the answer
 C               Em/B            D                   
  You've got her number and your hand is on the phone

  The weather's turned and all the lines are down

 The things we do for love
 
                     C            C/G              
 Like walking in the rain and the snow when there's
 C           C/G           
  Nowhere to go when you're
 Dm             Dm/C           G7/B G7 
 Feeling like a part of you is dying
            Am              C/G          F     D9/F# 
 And you're looking for the answer in her eyes 
     G                  E       
 You think you're gonna break up
          Am                Fm     
 Then she says she wants to make up
 
 F#/Ab           C#/Ab   
 Ooh you make me love you
 Ebm/Ab          C#/Ab 
 Ooh you've got a way
