(Chorus)
G  A7              G A7             G
    The things we do and have to do
A7                G        A7                     G     A7
And the things I do for you and what you do for me too 
                  G A7                   G
the Òyeah but I...Ó and any other excuse
A7                        G   A6  
And if you take it for given, then whatÕs the use?
(repeat intro riff)

And at the same time as the chorus, another guitar plays this riff over
and over, 6 1/2 times:

(Verse 2:)

All his posessions around him in his house
Lying beside him his companion and spouse
And in the morning he dress and go to hell
all activated by a little timer bell

(Chorus)

There is a solo but I am too lazy to type it all out here, so youÕll
have to figure that out on your own.
