[Verse 1]
  Em                                    Am
      What have I got to do to make you love me,
D                                     G    Am   B7
    what have I got to do to make you care ?
Em                              Am
    What do I do when lightning strikes me,
D                                     G      Am   B7
    and I wake to find that you're not there ?
[Verse 2]
  Em                           Am
      What do I do to make you want me,
D                               G   Am   B7
    what have I got to do to be heard ?
Em                              Am
    What do I say when it's all over,
             D                        G      D
    and sorry seems to be the hardest word ?
[Chorus]
Am           B7           Em                 A
    It's sad,    so sad,     it's a sad, sad situation,
C                    B7            Em    Am   B7
    and it's getting more and more absurd.
Am            B7              Em              A
    It's sad,        so sad,     why can't we talk it over ?
C                      Am             B7             Em
    Oh it seems to me, sorry seems to be the hardest word.

C                    B7            Em    Am   B7
    and it's getting more and more absurd.
Am            B7              Em              A

       What do I do to make you love me,
D                               G   Am   B7
    what have I got to do to be heard?
