Dmaj7                        Gmaj7
Look at us baby up all night tearing our love apart
Dmaj7                                           Gmaj7             F#7sus4  F#7
Aren't we the same two people who lived through years in the dark?
Bm                  A/B       Gmaj7                    F#7sus4  F#7
Every time I try to walk away something makes me turn around and stay
Bm                   A/B     G       F#m7
And I can't tell you why.
Dmaj7                                 Gmaj7
When we get crazy it just ain't right girl I get lonely too
Dmaj7                                      Gmaj7  F#7sus4  F#7 
You don't have to worry just hold on tight  'cause I love you.

Nothing's wrong as far as I can see we make it harder then it has to be
    Bm               A/B
And I can't tell you why no baby
Gmaj7        F#7sus4 F#7
I can't tell you why.....

In the original studio recording, it just keeps repaeating the last few bars and

song ends with a little ditty like this at the end...
