(Verse pattern the same each verse)
Intro - walkdown (emphasise ‘bass’ notes, listen to the song for dynamics/rhythm etc):
C C/B Am Am7/G D7/F# F
Same chord sequence repeats throughout verses e.g.
C C/B Am Am7/G
Take the M for me and the Y for you
D7/F# F
Out of family and it all falls through
C C/B Am Am7/G
We've got to love each other every day
D7/F# F
Instead of hoping it might stay that way
Now, I've got friends who are telling me
They're living in clover
But lose the C for commitment and the L for love
And it's over, baby, it's all over now

BRIDGE:
G Am
I'm not thinking about the things you said
F C C/B
As we lay awake last night in bed
G Am
I'm just happy to be by your side
F D G (see below)
When we're rolling in the sheets or tumbling in the tide
You keep on come telling me all about your problems
Let's pull the Y off of your and throw it on the fire
And make 'em our problems, baby
Our problems now
Take the M for me and the Y for you
Out of family and it all falls through
We've got to love each other every day
Instead of hoping it might stay that way
Your problems, baby
Make 'em our problems now
Your problems, baby
Make 'em our problems now
