[Intro]
| Gmaj7 | Am7 | Gmaj7 | Am7 |
[Verse 1]
Gmaj7 Am7
It is my theory the two of us are somewhat leery
Gmaj7 Am7
about the happiness, we both set out to possess.
Gmaj7 Am7
We've got all the comforts of life, a few kids and you are my wife,
Gmaj7 Am7
and I tell it like it is, I must confess,
[Chorus 1]
G G
I'm gonna have to give it up,
G7 G7
I'm gonna have to give it up.
Em C
Oh, concern and the trust that never happened with us,
Am Em
the warmth of embraces and the love of our faces.
A D
It never happened, you see, and I'm so sorry.
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7 Am7
I really truly love you and the kids, you must agree,
Gmaj7 Am7
and I never had too much concern or interest in astrology.
Gmaj7 Am7
But as I read, it must be so the invulnerable word "incompatible".
Gmaj7 Am7
No matter how much we try, our indifference would still show.
[Chorus 2]
G G
Now, we've got to give it up,
G7 G7
I'm gonna have to give it up.
Em C
Oh, concern and the trust that never happened with us,
Am Em
the warmth of embraces and the love of our faces.
A D
It never happened, you see, and I'm so sorry.
