G            D    G6
It's a human sign
               Em7   A
When things go wrong
                      D       G6
When the scent of her lingers
                   Em7   A
And temptation's strong
          Bm      G
Into the boundary
                A
Of each married man
                    Bm     G
Sweet deceit comes calling
                A
And negativity lands
           D     G6
Cold, cold heart
             Em7  A
Hard done by you
                  D          G6
Some things look better baby
             A
Just passing through
Chorus:
             D
And it's no sacrifice
               G
Just a simple word
                A
It's two hearts living
                 D
In two separate worlds
                            Em7
But it's no sacrifice, no sacrifice

It's no sacrifice at all

Mutual misunderstanding
           Em7  A
After the fact
            D               G6
Sensitivity builds a prison
             Em7  A
In the final act
          Bm      G
We lose direction
            A
No stone unturned
            Bm       G
No tears to damn you
              A
When jealousy burns
           D     G6
Cold, cold heart
             Em7  A
Hard done by you
