A
No smiles, not a single word
        C#m
at the breakfast table
D                   Dm         A/E Dm 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
 Somehow we'll help each other
  F#m              Esus4 E
 through the hard times
A         E
 One man, one woman
D            A
 One life to live together
D               A
 One chance to take that never
  E           F#m  F#m/E
 comes back again
D        B7/D#  D/E      D/A  E D
 You and me      to the end

Outside I can see the sun through
the open window
Inside everything feels so cold
What's wrong, what is happening,
where did all our love go?
Sometimes when I just can't cope
I cling to a desperate hope
And I cry and I feel like dying

Chorus

Daydreams of a better life,
but I have to wake up
The sound of the key in the door
You smile and I realise
that we need a shake-up
Our love is a precious thing
Worth the pain and the suffering
And it's never too late for changing

Chorus

You and me, to the end
