Intro: C      C/B     Am      Am7/G   D7/F#   F 
 
 
 
         C    C/B        Am     Am7/G 
Take the M for me and the Y for you 
       D7/F#          F          
Out of family and it all falls through 
             C         C/B   Am    Am7/G 
We've got to love each other every day 
           D7/F#           F 
Instead of hoping it might stay that way 
 
Now, I've got friends who are telling me 
They're living in clover 
But lose the C for commitment and the L for love 
And it's over, baby, it's all over now 
 
 
Bridge: 
G                          Am 
I'm not thinking about the things you said 
      F              C        C/B        
As we lay awake last night in bed 
G                    Am 
I'm just happy to be by your side 
           F                        D               G (see below) 
When we're rolling in the sheets or tumbling in the tide 
 
You keep on come telling me all about your problems 
Let's pull the Y off of your and throw it on the fire 
And make 'em our problems, baby 
Our problems now 
 
Take the M for me and the Y for you 
Out of family and it all falls through 
We've got to love each other every day 
Instead of hoping it might stay that way 
 
Your problems, baby 
Make 'em our problems now 
Your problems, baby 
Make 'em our problems now
