[Verse 1]
       Dm                 Dm/C
I'm so tired of playing...
Bm7b5                           Bbmaj7
Playing with this bow, and this arrow,
                        Dm
Yeah, I'm gonna give my heart away,
    Dm/C                  Bm7b5             Bbmaj7
And leave it to the other boys out there to play,
     Dm            Dm/C      Bm7b5            Bbmaj7
Been   ...tempted-----------     ...too long!

[Chorus]
        Dm            Dm/C      Bm7b5      Bbmaj7
Go on,   ...give me a reason to love you,
Dm            Dm/C                    Bm7b5  Bbmaj7
    Give me a reason to wanna be your man,
Dm            Dm/C    Bm7b5                  Bbmaj7
    Give me a reason        ...to love you,
Dm            Dm/C             Bm7b5   Bbmaj7
    Give me a reason ...if you can 

[Verse 2]
Dm            Dm/C             Bm7b5
    From this time, unchained,
          Bbmaj7                 Dm
We're all looking at a different picture,
                    Dm/C         Bm7b5           Bbmaj7
Through a different     ...frame------  of mind,
Dm             Dm/C        Bm7b5 
    A thousand flowers may bloom,
            Bbmaj7
Could it be time to move over?
Dm       Dm/C                   Bm7b5      Bbmaj7
    Move over, and give me some room,  oh, ah-ahh!

[Chorus]
Dm             Dm/C      Bm7b5      Bbmaj7
     Give me a reason to love you,
Dm              Dm/C                    Bm7b5   Bbmaj7
Ummm, give me a reason to wanna be your man----,
Dm              Dm/C           Bm7b5         Bbmaj7
     Give me a reason--- ...to love---- you,
         Dm       Dm/C             Bm7b5   Bbmaj7
Please------, one reason ...if you can

[Verse 3]
Dm                  Dm/C                 Bm7b5   Bbmaj7
    Don't you start looking like--- some woman,
Dm                          Dm/C               Bm7b5
Take a little look from the outside, ...if you can,
          Bbmaj7               Dm
Move over me now, try a little tenderness,
Dm/C                     Bm7b5                 Bbmaj7
     Little shabby dress,      I wouldn't care,
           Dm            Dm/C
Only cry-----  for you,  cry for you,
      Bm7b5                Bbmaj7
Might       ...die for you too

[Chorus]
Dm            Dm/C    Bm7b5                 Bbmaj7
    Give me a reason--------   to love you,
Dm                Dm/C                      Bm7b5  Bbmaj7
    And give me a reason to want to be your man,
Dm            Dm/C      Bm7b5              Bbmaj7
    Give me a reason---     ...to love---- you,
    Dm                   Dm/C             Bm7b5   Bbmaj7
Oh, please, ...give me a reason ...if you can

Dm           Dm/C

I'm gonna give my heart away,
      Dm/C                  Bm7b5        Bbmaj7
Gonna leave it to the other boys to play,
              Dm         Dm/C          Bm7b5
And I've been tempted to long,  ...too long,
          Bbmaj7
I've been tempted every day,
Dm          Dm/C         Bm7b5      Bbmaj7
    Tempted    ...a -too long----!
