Intro: Em
       Em7 Em6 | Cmaj Em
       Am | F#m75- B7

Em
What have I got to do
   Em7      Am9      D
To make you love me?
What have I got to do
   D7       G     F#m75- B7 Em
To make you care?
          Em7
What do I do
               Am7        Am7add11 D
When lightning strikes me
And I wake to find
     D7         G      F#m75- B7 Em
That you’re not there?

Em        Em7
What do I do
            Am7      Am7add11 Am7 D
To make you want me?
What have I got to do
D7    G      F#m75- B7 Em
To be heard?
          Emadd9
What do I say
          Em7  Am7  Am7add11 Am7
When it’s all over?
D
Sorry seems to be
    D7      G     D/F#
The hardest word.

Chorus:
  C/E                  B/D#
     It’s sad (it’s so sad), it’s so sad,
  G/D                A/C#
     It’s a sad, sad situation
  Am/C                B7sus4
     And it’s getting more
         B7     Em    F#m75- B7
     And more absurd.
  C/E                  B/D#
     It’s sad (it’s so sad), it’s so sad,
  G/D             A/C#
     Why can’t we talk it over?
  Am/C                  Am/C  Am/B
     Always seems to me
          Am7            B9+
     That sorry seems to be
         B7      Em
     The hardest word.
