[After listening to the song a little more carefully, sounds like you could almost  
play the intro throughout the whole song and it would still sound right. Test it  
out!] 
 
Verse 1:
 
F                 G 
You understand me at least you say you do 
Em                       F 
Lately that's enough for me 
F                      G 
Looking for perfect surrounded by artificial 
           Em                      F 
You're the closest thing to real I see 
                        F                  G 
Sure everyone has their problems, that's a given 
              Em             F 
Yours are the easiest to tolerate 
                           F                  G 
This wasn't what we we was wanting, how we're living 
                    Em                         F 
But let's take this good enough and turn it to great, baby understand 
 
Chorus:
 
F                           G 
This can only be as good as we both make it 
Em                        F 
Yes, sometimes it's gonna hurt 
                           (F) 
(Yes, sometimes it's gonna hurt) 
F                        G 
We can be as happy as we want to be, girl 
Em                   F 
But we gotta make it work 
 
                 F                 G 
We gotta make it work, ay oh ay oh oh         x2 
                 Em                F 
We gotta make it work, ay oh ay oh oh 
 
Verse 2:
 
F                    G 
Sometimes I love you more than you'll ever know 
Em                        F 
Other times you get on my nerves 
     F                    G 
Hey, that's just reality, no, it can't always be 
Em                         F 
Kisses, hugs and beautiful words 
                    F                     G 
You was looking for your prince, what you found 
     Em                   F 
Is a pauper with potential 
                         F                G 
And no, I'm nowhere near perfect but I'm around 
               Em                   F 
Girl, time and patience is essential, baby realize 
 
Repeat Chorus
 
F                G 
  Thick and thin 
           Em                  F 
The bad outweighs the good sometimes 
             F                                 G 
That doesn't mean we're supposed to give it up 
                Em                  F 
My problems are yours and yours are mine
