Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea

You lay your bets and then you pay the price

The weather's turned and all the lines are down
Dm C
The things we do for love
Dm7/G C
The things we do for love
[Bridge]
C C/G
Like walking in the rain and the snow when there's
C C/G
Nowhere to go when you're
Dm Dm/C G7/B G7
Feeling like a part of you is dying
Am C/G F D9/F#
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
G E7/G#
You think you're gonna break up
Am Fm
Then she says she wants to make up
[Middle 8]

Ooh you make me love you
D#m/G# C#/G#
Ooh you've got a way
F#/G# C#/G#
Ooh you had me crawling

Up the wall (oooh oooh ...)

[Verse 3]
Am7 F
A compromise would surely help the situation

Agree to disagree but disagree to part

When after all it's just a compromise

Of the things we do for love
Dm7/G C
(The things we do for love)
[Outro]
Dm7/G C
The things we do for love

Also on …looking for the answer in her eyes, answer might sound better with G as the base chord instead of C/G.
