[ after listening to the song a little more carefully , sounds like you could almost
play the intro throughout the whole song and it would still sound right . test it
out! ]

[ verse 1 ] :

F G
you understand me at least you say you do
Em F
lately that’s enough for me
F G
looking for perfect surrounded by artificial
Em F
you’re the closest thing to real i see
F G
sure everyone has their problems , that’s a given
Em F
yours are the easiest to tolerate
F G
this wasn’t what we we was wanting , how we’re living
Em F
but let’s take this good enough and turn it to great , baby understand

[ chorus ] :

F G
this can only be as good as we both make it
Em F
yes , sometimes it’s gonna hurt
( F )
( yes , sometimes it’s gonna hurt )
F G
we can be as happy as we want to be , girl
Em F
but we gotta make it work

F G
we gotta make it work , ay oh ay oh oh x2
Em F
we gotta make it work , ay oh ay oh oh

[ verse 2 ] :

F G
sometimes i love you more than you’ll ever know
Em F
other times you get on my nerves
F G
hey , that’s just reality , no , it can’t always be
Em F
kisses , hugs and beautiful words
F G
you was looking for your prince , what you found
Em F
is a pauper with potential
F G
and no , i’m nowhere near perfect but i’m around
Em F
girl , time and patience is essential , baby realize

[ repeat chorus ]

F G
thick and thin
Em F
the bad outweighs the good sometimes
F G
that doesn’t mean we’re supposed to give it up
Em F
my problems are yours and yours are mine

[ repeat chorus ]
