Intro: Am
       Am7 Am6 | Fmaj Am
       Dm | Bm75- E7

Am
What have I got to do
   Am7      Dm9      G
To make you love me?
What have I got to do
   G7       C     Bm75- E7 Am
To make you care?
          Am7
What do I do
               Dm7        Dm7add11 G
When lightning strikes me
And I wake to find
     G7         C      Bm75- E7 Am
That you’re not there?

Am        Am7
What do I do
            Dm7      Dm7add11 Dm7 G
To make you want me?
What have I got to do
G7    C      Bm75- E7 Am
To be heard?
          Amadd9
What do I say
          Am7  Dm7  Dm7add11 Dm7
When it’s all over?
G
Sorry seems to be
    G7      C     G/B
The hardest word.

Chorus:
  F/A                  E/G#
     It’s sad (it’s so sad), it’s so sad,
  C/G                D/F#
     It’s a sad, sad situation
  Dm/F                E7sus4
     And it’s getting more
         E7     Am    Bm75- E7
     And more absurd.
  F/A                  E/G#
     It’s sad (it’s so sad), it’s so sad,
  C/G             D/F#
     Why can’t we talk it over?
  Dm/F                  Dm/F  Dm/E
     Always seems to me
          Dm7            E9+
     That sorry seems to be
         E7      Am
     The hardest word.
