You and I have much to say,

Ab2 Db2
Trying to understand

Bbm7 Db2
That your momma and daddy tried to show you.
Eb Db2 Fm7 Cm7
I did it for you, and for me,
Bbm7 Eb/G

Never compromise on,
Db/Eb Ab2 Db2
And that's the real thing you need in love. x4

Go on and scream at me and cry

I'll always hold you in my soul,
Bbm7 Cm7 Db2 Eb
And I'm never gonna leave you all alone
Ebm7 Absus Ab7 Fm7 Cm7 Db2
But your daddy doesn't live here anymore.
Fm7 Cm7 Db2

And that's the real thing you need in love.

Everybody's got a boat upon the ocean,

I'm ready to believe.
