VERSE 1:

Bm                               G
    Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river

D             D/C#              E

The things we do for love

When you're feeling like a part of you is dying

And you're looking for the answer in her eyes

Ooh you make me love you        Ooh you've got a way

Ebsus4/Bb      Eb/Bb                    Db9

Ooh you make me love you        Ooh you've got a way
Ooh you had me crawling         up the wall...   (pause)


VERSE 3:
A compromise would surely help the situation
Agree to disagree, but disagree to part
When after all it's just a compromise
Of the things we do for love  (the things we do for love)
    G/A(fr7)         D(fr5)     G/A(fr7)         D(fr5)
The things we do for love  (the things we do for love)   (repeat to fade)
