Verse 1:
	  Em		 Em
There be times when my crimes
        C              D
will seem almost unfor-giveble
	Em    Em
I give in to sin 
	      C                      D
becourse you have to make this life liveble
	      Em               		Em
But when you think I've had enough from your sea of love 
     C        		      D
I'll take more than another riverfull
        Em           D         Em
Yes and I'll make it all worth-while
C              D
I'll make your heart smile

Verse 2:

	     Em
There'll be days
	   Em
When I'll stray
      C
I may appear to be 
	 D
Constantly out of reach
	Em
I give in 
   Em
to sin
 	   C                       D
Because I like to practice what I preach
	Em
I'm not trying to say
	      Em
I'll have it all my way
	    C
I'm always willing to learn
		 D
When you've got something to teach
    Em		  D         Em
And I'll make it all worth-while
C		D
I'll make your heart smile


Em
Pain will you return it
Em		  C	     Am
  I'll say it again -- pain

Em    
Pain will you return it 
Em		   C       Am
I won't say it again
