(Chorus)
G A7 G A7 G
The things we do and have to do
A7 G A7 G A7
And the things I do for you and what you do for me too
G A7 G
the Òyeah but I...Ó and any other excuse
A7 G A6
And if you take it for given, then whatÕs the use?
(repeat intro riff)
And at the same time as the chorus, another guitar plays this riff over
and over, 6 1/2 times:

(Verse 2:)
All his posessions around him in his house
Lying beside him his companion and spouse
And in the morning he dress and go to hell
all activated by a little timer bell
(Chorus)
There is a solo but I am too lazy to type it all out here, so youÕll
have to figure that out on your own.
