Everyone knows it ain't easy

But when you get it all together in your heart
            C                      G 
It's the easiest thing to do to be pleasin'

Folks ain't made to live apart

[Chorus]
            C     Bb              F    D7

[Bridge] 

F                          D7
Let yourself be open honey learn to bend
            Am                               F
Remember everyone gets scared, but I'm still your best friend
               D7                           Am
When you forget about yourself and think of things to do
             F                    D                 G7
To make me happy then you love me girl like I love you

C              G
How do turtles talk to one another
          F                            D7
They just look, there's no reason to cower
          C                            G
Just like people they're drawn to each other
           F                D7
They don't live in no ivory tower
 
[Chorus] 

                      C  Bb              F    D7
