VERSE
A C#m
No smiles, not a single word at the breakfast table
D Dm A/E Dm E7-9 E7
Though I would have liked to begin
A C#m
So much that I wanna say, but I feel unable
D Dm
You leave and you slam the door
A Bm7-5
Like you've done many times before
A/C# F#m Bm A/C# D D/E
And I cry and I feel so helpless
CHORUS
A E
One man, one woman
D A
Two friends and two true lovers
D A F#m Esus4 E
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
A E
One man, one woman
D A
One life to live together
D A E F#m F#m/E
One chance to take that never comes back again
D B7/D# D/E | D/A E D |
You and me to the end
VERSE
A C#m
Outside I can see the sun through the open window
D Dm A/E Dm E7-9 E7
Inside everything feels so cold
A C#m
What's wrong, what is happening, where did all our love go?
D Dm
Sometimes when I just can't cope
A Bm7-5
I cling to a desperate hope
A/C# F#m Bm A/C# D D/E
And I cry and I feel like dy-ing
CHORUS
A E
One man, one woman
D A
Two friends and two true lovers
D A F#m Esus4 E
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
A E
One man, one woman

One life to live together

One chance to take that never comes back again

You and me to the end

VERSE
A C#m
Daydreams of a better life, but I have to wake up
D Dm A/E Dm E7-9 E7
The sound of the key in the door
A C#m
You smile and I realize that we need a shake-up
D Dm
Our love is a precious thing
A Bm7-5
Worth the pain and the suffering
A/C# F#m Bm A/C# D D/E
And it's never too late for changing

One man, one woman
