A# A#maj7 Remember back in school A#7 we learned the golden rule D# Do unto others as you'd have done to you D#m A# You're supposed to love me as much as I love you Chorus: C Fsus4 F It's a shame that isn't the way it is Lovers in a movie on that great big screen He treats her like she's a queen, she treats him like a king Wouldn't that be nice if life is lived that way Chorus I'd like to start each morning with good morning dear And end each night with the goodnight kiss But all I have is your memory with me laying here Chorus A love song tells a story of a good love going bad Then paints a pretty pictures of that same love coming back I wish that I could sing it, I wish that I could paint it Chorus - x2 You can simplify chords by removing barre
