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,

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,

Why can’t we (D7)talk it o ver?

Oh, it seems to me
