Fm7  C#                Cm7         D#
If I told you what you said before
      Fm7            C#                    Cm7 D#
Would you be just as certain, what's going on?
      Fm7            C#              Cm7
Cause actions, speak louder than the words
                D#
you sow (And you ought to know)
           Fm7               C#
I've been wonderin' why I'm holdin',
              Cm7 D#
still holdin' on

              C#
Do us both a favour (Tonight)
                      Fm                  Cm
If you want to do the real thing (Make it right)
                      C#
You need to make your mind up (Just try)
                              D#           C 
Do you feel we've reached the end of the line?

Chorus:
Fm7             C#               Cm7
Never knew our love could be so cruel
Cm7       D#
(Be so cruel, be so cruel to me)
     Fm7               C#                 Cm7
It's not just what you say, it's what you do
Cm7       D#
(What you do, what you do to me)
Fm7             C#               Cm7
Never knew our love could be so cruel
Cm7      D#
(Be so cruel, be so cruel to me)
     Fm7               C#                 Cm7
It's not just what you say, it's what you do
Cm7        D#
(What you do, what you do to me)

Your actions (Actions)
They speak louder than the words you sow
And you ought to know
Have you been wonderin' why I'm holdin',
still holdin' on?

Do us both a favour (Tonight)
If you want to do the real thing (Make it right)
You need to make your mind up (Just try)
Do you feel we've reached the end of the line?

Chorus

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
You're so cruel to me
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don't be so cruel to me
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
