[Verse 1]
Ebmaj7                F             Eb     F
  Money's tight, he's workin' every night, it ain't
Ebmaj7                   F     Eb   F
Easy to keep the flame a-live
Ebmaj7                F          Eb  F
  And when he finally comes home to ya
Ebmaj7                          F          Eb   F
  He's just too tired to do the things you want to


[Verse 2]
Ebmaj7               F             Eb   F
  You can't help but wonder to yourself
Ebmaj7             F            Eb   F
  How would it be… with someone else
Ebmaj7                     F             Eb   F
  Just keep in mind, every storm ends in time
Ebmaj7           F      Eb  F
Love is forever, stay together

[Verse 3]
Ebmaj7                       F           Eb     F
  Now you're the man, you've got to understand, she don't
Ebmaj7           F        Eb    F
Me-ean to make a scene
Ebmaj7                        F             Eb  F
  Like you, she feels all the weight you're under
Ebmaj7                       F   Eb  F
  And when she breaks, is it any wonder?


[Verse 4]
Ebmaj7                F            Eb   F
  I know sometimes it crosses your mind
Ebmaj7              F            Eb   F
  To get on out and stay hard to find
Ebmaj7                        F           Eb  F
  Before you try you'd better look in her eye
Ebmaj7           F      Eb  F
Love is forever, stay together
