[Strophe]
  Em                                    Am 
      What have I got to do to make you love me, 
D                                     G    Am   B7 
    what have I got to do to make you care ? 
Em                              Am 
    What do I do when lightning strikes me, 
D                                     G      Am   B7 
    and I wake to find that you're not there ?
[Strophe]
  Em                           Am 
      What do I do to make you want me, 
D                               G   Am   B7 
    what have I got to do to be heard ? 
Em                              Am 
    What do I say when it's all over, 
             D                        G      D 
    and sorry seems to be the hardest word ?
[Refrain]
Am           B7           Em                 A 
    It's sad,    so sad,     it's a sad, sad situation, 
C                    B7            Em    Am   B7 
    and it's getting more and more absurd. 
Am            B7              Em              A 
    It's sad,        so sad,     why can't we talk it over ? 
C                      Am             B7             Em 
    Oh it seems to me, sorry seems to be the hardest word.

    When sorry seems to be the hardest word ?
