[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _
[Cm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ It is my [Dbm]
[Cm] theory, the two of us are [Dm] somewhat leery
About the [Bb] happiness [Cm] _ we both set out to possess
[Dm] We've got all the [Dbm] comforts of [Cm] life
A few kids and you are [Dm] my wife
And to tell it [Bb] like it [Cm] is, I must confess
[Gm] [Cm] I'm gonna [Bb] have to give it up _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm gonna [Fm] have to give it up
For _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] concern and the trust _
[Eb] That never happened with us
[Cm] The warmth of your embraces [Gm] Our _ _ faces
[C] It never happened, can you see? _ _
[F] And I'm so sorry _
[Dm] I really truly [Gb]
[Cm] love you
And the kids, you must [Dm] agree
And I never had [Bb] too much [Cm] concern
Or interest in astrology
_ [Dm] But as I read, it [Bb] must be [Cm] so
The invulnerable world _ [Dm] incompatible
No matter how [Dbm] much we try
[Cm] Our indifference would [Gm] still show
[F] Now we've [Bb] got to give it up _ _
_ _ _ _ I'm gonna [Fm] have to give it up _ _
_ _ _ _ _
[Gm] For concern and the trust _
[Eb] That never happened with us
The warmth of your embraces [Gm] Our _ _ faces
[C] It never happened, can you see? _
[Dm] And I'm so sorry
Now we've [Bb] got to give it up _ _
Ooh _ child
I've [Fm] got to give it up _ _ _
_ Lord have mercy
[F] Now I've [Bb] got to give it up _ _ _
_ _ Ooh
I've [Fm] got to give it up _ _ _

But now we've got [Bb] to give it up _ _ _ _
What am I to do?
