VERSE 1:

 4    4    4   4  -4    4

Try to see it my way

2    2   3     4     -4   -4   -4  -4   -4 4   4      4    4

Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on

   4       4      4   4   -4     4

While you see it your way

 2      2     3   4    -4.  -4      -4    -4   -4      4      4      4      4 

Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone


REFRAIN:

 6    -5      -5    4   4 

We can work it out

 6    -5     -5     4   4  -3

We can work it ou-out


VERSE 2:

   4       4     4       4      -4   4

Think of what you're saying

  2       2   3   4    -4      -4     -4    -4     -4      4     4     4    4

You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright

   4      4     4    4    -4    4

Think of what I'm saying

2       2      3   4    -4  -4    -4   -4.   -4        4      4    4    4   -4   5 

We can work it out and get it straight, or say good-ni-i-ght


REFRAIN:

BRIDGE:

  5   5   5  5    5        5      -4       5  -5  5  -4  4  -3

Life is very short, and there's no ti-i-i-i-me

-3      5   5      5      -4   4      4       4

For fussing and fighting, my friend

5    5      5   5        5        5    -4   5  -5  5 -4  4  -3

I have always thought that it's a cri-i-i-i-ime

-3   5  5    -4    4     4      4   4

So I will ask you once again


VERSE 3:

  4    4   4   4   -4    4

Try to see it my way

2   2   3        4.  -4  -4  -4  -4  -4   4   4    4     4

Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong

   4      4     4   4    -4    4

While you see your way

    2        2       3       4   -4     -4   -4   -4  -4    4   4     4      4 

There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long


REFRAIN:

We can work it ou-out
