Verse 1
[Am7] [F]
Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river
[C] [Em/B] [D]
Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea

You lay your bets and then you pay the price
[Dm] [C]
The things we do for love
[Dm7/G] [C] LINK
The things we do for love
Verse 2
[Am7] [F]
Communication is the problem to the answer
[C] [Em/B] [D]
You've got her number and your hand is on the phone
[F] [Am/E] [E]
The weather's turned and all the lines are down
[Dm] [C]
The things we do for love
[Dm7/G] [C]
The things we do for love
Bridge
[C] [C/G]
Like walking in the rain and the snow when there's
[C] [C/G]
Nowhere to go when you're
[Dm] [Dm/C] [G7/B] [G7]
Feeling like a part of you is dying
[Am] [C/G] [F] [D9/F#]
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
[G] [E7/G#]
You think you're gonna break up
[Am] [Fm]
Then she says she wants to make up
Chorus
[F#/G#] [C#/G#]
Ooh you make me love you
[D#m/G#] [C#/G#]
Ooh you've got a way
[F#/G#] [C#/G#]
Ooh you had me crawling
| [G#m7] | % | % | % |
Up the wall (oooh oooh ...)

Verse 3
[Am7] [F]
A compromise would surely help the situation
[C] [Em/B] [D]
Agree to disagree but disagree to part
[F] [Am/E] [E]
When after all it's just a compromise
[Dm] [C]
Of the things we do for love
[Dm7/G] [C]
(The things we do for love)
Outro
[Dm7/G] [C]
The things we do for love
