VERSE 1:

Bm                               G
    Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river

D             D/C#              E
    Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea

(F#)G                               F#sus4  F#
    You lay your bets and then you pay the price

         G(fr7)       (A) D(fr5)    G(fr7)   D(fr5)
    The things we do for love


Bass run to lead in to verse 2:  A  C#  D  A  A#  B -->


VERSE 2:
Communication is the problem to the answer
You've got her number and your hand is on the phone
The weather's turned and all the lines are down
The things we do for love


CHORUS:
                    D            D/A               D          D/A
Like walking in the rain and the snow when there's nowhere to go

            Em             Em/D           A/C#     A
When you're feeling like a part of you is dying

           Bm              Bm/A          G         E
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes

    A*                    F#m                Bm                Gm
You think you're going to break up, then she says she wants to make up...


BRIDGE:
Ebsus4/Bb       Eb/Bb           Eb9sus4/Bb       Eb/Bb
Ooh you make me love you        Ooh you've got a way

Ebsus4/Bb      Eb/Bb                    Db9
Ooh you got me calling          out for more...   Ooh....-->

CHORUS


BRIDGE 2:
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)
