Lyrics & ChordsClick chords to see diagrams

Another fairly simple song to play. I'm pretty sure this is in the key of F# Minor.
And the chord progression for this song is 6-1-5-2. So it would be D Major, F# Minor,
C# Minor 7th, to B Minor 7th.
Personally I think it sounds best if you use only bar chords but if bar chords 
give you trouble you can put a capo on the second fret and replace the above 
chords with the following:
C Major, E Minor, B Minor 7th, to A Minor 7th
[Intro]
   DLove you like a brother
   F#mTreat you like a friend
   C#m7Respect you like a lover
   Bm7Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
   DYou could bet that, never gotta sweat that
   F#mYou could bet that, never gotta sweat that
   C#m7You could bet that, never gotta sweat that
   Bm7You could bet that, never gotta sweat that
[Verse]
If you be the Dcash, I'll be the rubber band
You be the F#mmatch, I will be a fuse, boom
C#m7Painter baby, you could be the muse
I'm the Bm7reporter baby, you could be the news
'Cause you're the cigaDrette and I'm the smoker
We raise a F#mbet, 'cause you're the joker, checked off
C#m7You are the chalk and I could be the Bm7blackboard
You can be the talk and I can be the walk
[Chorus]
   DEven when the sky comes falling
   F#mEven when the sun don't shine
   C#m7I got faith in you and I
   Bm7So put your pretty little hand in mine
   DEven when we're down to the wire, baby
   F#mEven when it's do or die
   C#m7We could do it baby, simple and plain
   Bm7'Cause this love is a sure thing
   DYou could bet that, never gotta sweat that
   F#mYou could bet that, never gotta sweat that
   C#m7You could bet that, never gotta sweat that
   Bm7You could bet that, never gotta sweat that
[Verse]
You could be the Dlover, I'll be the fighter, baby
If I'm the F#mblunt, you could be the lighter, babe
Fire it up
C#m7Writer baby, you could be the quote
If I'm the Bm7lyric baby, you could be the note, record that
DSaint, I'm a sinner, prize, I'm a winner, and it's F#myou
What did I do to deserve that?
 C#m7Paper baby, I'll be the pen
Say that I'm the Bm7one, 'cause you are a ten
[Chorus]
   DEven when the sky comes falling
   F#mEven when the sun don't shine
   C#m7I got faith in you and I
   Bm7So put your pretty little hand in mine
   DEven when we're down to the wire, baby
   F#mEven when it's do or die
   C#m7We could do it baby, simple and plain
   Bm7'Cause this love is a sure thing
[Bridge]
   DNow rock with me babe, let me F#mhold you in my arms, talk with me babe yeah, yeah)
  C#m7Now rock with me babe, let me Bm7hold you in my arms, talk with me babe yeah, yeah)
This love Dbetween you and I is simple as pie, F#mbaby
It's such a C#m7sure thing (such a sure thing)
Ooh, it such a Bm7sure thing (such a sure thing)
[Chorus]
   DEven when the sky comes falling
   F#mEven when the sun don't shine
