Intro 1

Dsus4

You've

Verse 1
G 
got a wife and family,
Dsus4 
and I've     got children too
And all of us are always
G 
depending on you
You do everything in your power
Dsus4 
to please us all
Working two jobs and
spreading your loving
G 
And being out of beck and call
But the strain is showing on your face
Dsus4 
And in       your attitude
D 
You force a smile and
Dsus4 
try to look happy
G 
When all the time you're blue
C 
You know you've made a mistake
D 
G

But it's too late

You got two women loving you

And some little children adoring you

I know

Dsus4 
G 
how you feel
Dsus4 
when the holidays roll around
You got to keep your obligations at home
D 
G 
and  the one you got across town
But one man can't be two
Dsus4 
places at the same time
That's why you're so nervous
G 
and feel like you're losing your mind
C 
You know you've made a mistake

cake
Am 
Dsus4 
G 
I can't give
you the solution
Dsus4 
Cause I'm part of the problem
And that makes it impossible
D 
G 
For me to help you solve them
D 
But I'll go along with anything you
Dsus4 
D 
Dsus4 
decide to do
Cause I can't stand to see
G 
what life is doing to you
You're not enjoying life
D 
Dsus4 
and the things you're accumulating
Cause your mind and body is paining
G 
and your heart is breaking
C 
You know you made a mistake,
D

You got two women loving you

Life ain't no piece of       cake
G 
No, it ain't no piece of cake
Dsus4 
No piece of cake
Life's a game of give and take
