               Cm
You have to swear
                          A#
You've got love to love me
                    Cm
That will last forever
                     A#
We must have a story
With a happy ending

G# D#                 A#
I swear to never go away
                G# D#
And never put aside
                      F
The things I'm gonna say
Cuz these are rules for us

Chorus:
A#
Use your eyes only to look at me
Cm
Use your mouth only to kiss my lips
D#                      A#        F
We are branches of the same old tree
A#
You can laugh only if you laugh at me
Cm
You can cry only if you cry for me
D#                           A#        F
Don't forget that you're condemned to me
           Gm D#
Can't you see
           Gm  F
You always were
               A#
You'll always be

You used to say I should see a doctor
Uh-uh, who would keep me busy
Uh-uh, 'cause a jealous woman never makes it easy

Ahh, and you know
I'll do for us whatever seems right
Ah-ah, but it may take a while before
I change the rules

Chorus:
Use your eyes only to look at me
Use your mouth only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree
You can laugh only if you laugh with me
You can cry only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Oh, can't you see? You always were, you always were
Ohh, oh-oh-oh

So use your eyes only to look at me
Use your mouth only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree
You can laugh only if you laugh with me
You can cry only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Oh, can't you see? You always were, you'll always be
Ah-ah-ah
