Gm                        Gm7      Cm
What have I got to do to make you love me
F                         F7      A#   Am7-5 D7sus4
What have I got to do to make you care
Gm         Gm7                Cm
What do I do when lightning strikes me
F                        F7         A#  Am7-5 D7sus4
And I wake to find that you're not there

What do I do to make you want me?
What have I gotta do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

Chorus:
 D#      D7  
It's sad, so sad
 Gm               C 
It's a sad, sad situation
D#               Dsus4     D     Gm  Am7-5 D7sus4
And it's getting more and more absurd
 D#      D7  
It's sad, so sad
 Gm            C 
Why can't we talk it over
D#
Oh it seems to me
 A#   Cm            D7sus4  D7     Gm
That sorry seems to be the hardest word - x2

Gm                        Cm
What do I do to make you love me
F                  F7       A#   Am7-5 D7sus4
What have I got to do to be heard
Gm        Gm7                 Cm
What do I do when lightning strikes me
Am7-5              D7
What have I got to do
Gm                  C
What have I got to do
     Am7-5          D7
When sorry seems to be
            Gm7
The hardest word
