Tom: Bb

     Gm                                  Cm7
1.   What have I got to do to make you love me,
F                                      Bb      - Cm - D7
    what have I got to do to make you care ?
Gm                                  Cm
    What do I do when lightning strikes me,
F                                       Bb    - Cm - D7
    and awake to find that you're not there ?
  Gm                            Cm
2.   What do I do to make you want me,
F                                Bb       - Cm - D7
    what have I got to do to be heard ?
Gm                                Cm
    What do I say when it's all over,
         F                             Bb   -  F
    and sorry seems to be the hardest word ?
Cm             D7         Gm                  C
    It's sad,    so sad,   it's a sad, sad situation,
Eb                     D7             Gm      - Cm - D7
    and it's getting more and more absurd.
Cm              D7          Gm                C
    It's sad,      so sad,    why can't we talk it over ?
Eb                       Cm             D7              Gm    -
    Oh it seems to me, sorry seems to be the hardest word.

3.    What do I do to make you love me,
F                                Bb      - Cm - D7
    what have I got to do to be heard?
Gm                                  Cm           - Eb
    What do I do when lightning strikes me ?
      Cm                D7     Gm                 Eb
    What have I got to do ?  What have I got to do,
          Cm             D7              Gm
    When sorry seems to be the hardest word ?
