(Intro)

Eb                  F         Dm7             Gm
Sometimes there are teardrops     across your face
Eb                  F        Dm7             G7
Sometimes there are rainbows     in the same place
      Cm7        Dm7          Ebmaj7
And I don't know which way to turn

Bb        Eb           F
Sometimes lovers don't act like they should
    Bb        Eb           F
And sometimes lovers don't do all they could
Dm7       Gm     Dm7         Gm
Sometimes lovers hide in the cover
   Cm7           Ebmaj7
Of innocence and blame
Cm7    Dm7       Cm7    Dm7      Bb
I know sometimes we act just the same

Eb                  F    Dm7             Gm
Your heart's in the city,    it wears me down
Eb          F     Dm7         G7
No love, no pity,     in this town
      Cm7        Dm7          Ebmaj7
And I don't know which way to turn

Bb        Eb           F
Sometimes lovers don't act like they should
    Bb        Eb           F
And sometimes lovers don't do all they could
Dm7       Gm     Dm7         Gm
Sometimes lovers hide in the cover
   Cm7           Ebmaj7
Of innocence and blame
Cm7    Dm7
I know baby

Eb/Bb         Bb/F
Hold on tight to me woman
Cm7               Gm7
Tell me what went wrong
Eb/Bb              Bb/F
I'm alright I will lay beside you
Cm7               Gm7
Till the night is gone

Eb  F  Dm7  Gm    Eb  F  Dm7  Gm    Eb  F
Ah, oo ...
