Lyrics
Too man y bro ken hearts have (G)fall en in the riv er; too man y (F#m)lone ly souls have (E)drift ed out to sea.
You lay your bets and then you (F#)pay the price.
The (Em7)things we do for (D)love.
The (G)things we do for (D)love.
Com mu ni ca tion is the (G)prob lem to the an swer.
You’ve got her num ber and your (E)hand is on the phone.
The weath er’s turned and all the (F#sus)lines are (F#)down.
The (Em7)things we do for (D)love.
The (G)things we do for (D)love: Like walk ing in the (D)rain and the snow when there’s no where to go, when you’re (Em7)feel ing like a (Bm)part of you is (A7)dy ing.
And you’re (Bm)look ing for the (A)an swer in her eyes.
You (A)think you’re gon na break up, then she (Bm)says she wants to (Gm6)make up.
(Ab)Ooh,
you made me (Eb)love you;
(Fm)ooh,
you’ve got a way.
(Ab)Ooh,
you had me (Eb)crawl ing
on the (Bbm7)floor.
Like walk ing in the (Bbm7)floor.
A com pro mise would sure ly (G)help the sit u a tion.
A gree to (F#m)dis a gree, but (E)dis a gree to part,
when af ter all, it’s just a (F#sus)com pro mise of the (Em7)things we do for (D)love.
The (G)things we do for (D)love.
The (G)things we do for (D)love.
The (G)things we do for (D)love.
The (G)things we do for (D)love.
