Verse 1
          Em             Em 
There be times when my crimes 
        C              D 
will seem almost unfor-giveble 
        Em    Em 
I give in to sin  
              C                      D 
becourse you have to make this life liveble 
              Em                        Em 
But when you think I've had enough from your sea of love  
     C                        D 
I'll take more than another riverfull 
        Em           D         Em 
Yes and I'll make it all worth-while 
C              D 
I'll make your heart smile

Verse 2
 
             Em 
There'll be days 
           Em 
When I'll stray 
      C 
I may appear to be  
         D 
Constantly out of reach 
        Em 
I give in  
   Em 
to sin 
           C                       D 
Because I like to practice what I preach 
        Em 
I'm not trying to say 
              Em 
I'll have it all my way 
            C 
I'm always willing to learn 
                 D 
When you've got something to teach 
    Em            D         Em 
And I'll make it all worth-while 
C               D 
I'll make your heart smile 
 
Em 
Pain will you return it 
Em                C          Am 
  I'll say it again -- pain 
 
Em     
Pain will you return it  
Em                 C       Am 
I won't say it again
