Lyrics

What have I got to do to (C)make you (Dm7)love me?

What have I got to do to make you (C)care?

What do I do when (C)light ning (Dm7)strikes me

and I wake to find that you’re not (C)there?

What do I do to (C)make you (Dm7)want me?

What have I got ta do

to be (C)heard?

What do I say when it’s all (Dm7)o ver?

(G)Sor ry

seems to (G)be the hard est (C)word.

It’s sad,

so sad.

It’s a sad, sad (F#m7)sit u a tion

and it’s get ting (E7)more and more ab (Am)surd.

It’s sad,

so sad.

Why can’t we (D7)talk it o ver?

Oh, it seems to me

that (Dm7)sor ry seems to (E)be the hard est (Am)word.

(Am)word.

What do I do to (C)make you (Dm7)love me?

What have I got to do to be (C)heard?

What do I do when light ning (Dm)strikes me?

(Bdim)What have I got to (E)do,

(Am)what have I got to do?

(Bdim)Sor ry seems to (E)be the hard est (Am)word.
