[Verse 1]
Am                          F
Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river
C         Em                D
 Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea
F                               E
 You lay your bets and then you pay the price
    Dm               C
The things we do for love
    Dm               C          LINK
The things we do for love
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am                   F
Communication is the problem to the answer
C                Em              D
  You've got her number and your hand is on the phone
F                                  Am        E
  The weather's turned and all the lines are down
    Dm               C
The things we do for love
    Dm               C
The things we do for love
 
 
[Bridge]
                    C
Like walking in the rain and the snow when there's
C
 Nowhere to go when you're
Dm                            G
Feeling like a part of you is dying
           Am              C            F      D
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
    G                  E
You think you're gonna break up
         Am                Fm
Then she says she wants to make up
 
 
{ CHORUS }
F#              C#
Ooh you make me love you
D#m             C#
Ooh you've got a way
F#             C#
Ooh you had me crawling
      | G#m  | % | % | % |
Up the wall     (oooh oooh ...)

| Am  | F | C Em   | D | F | Am   E Dm  | C Dm    | C
(Solo)                                            (break)
 
 
[Bridge]
                    C
Like walking in the rain and the snow when there's
C
 Nowhere to go when you're
Dm                            G
Feeling like a part of you is dying
           Am              C            F      D
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
    G                  E
You think you're gonna break up
         Am                Fm
Then she says she wants to make up
 
 
{ CHORUS }
F#              C#
Ooh you make me love you
D#m             C#
Ooh you've got a way
F#             C#
Ooh you had me crawling
      | G#m  | % |
Up the wall
 
 
[Verse 3]
Am                         F
 A compromise would surely help the situation
C         Em           D
 Agree to disagree but disagree to part
F                           Am    E
 When after all it's just a compromise
       Dm               C
Of the things we do for love
     Dm               C
(The things we do for love)
 
 
[Outro]
    Dm               C
The things we do for love
    Dm               C
(The things we do for love)
 
(repeat and fade)
