G     D             A
I-I-I-I, Im sinking in
              Bm
You know that somethings got to

                  G
Somethings gotta give
and then you told yourself
                         D
You found a modern Mona Lisa, yeah
G
You gave up all your love
                             D
You said prayers fool could keep her.
            A
You got no money, it doesn't mean a thing
You got time, yeah time is everything
             Bm
We all gonna die, stay away
Listening to the records that you like
Now you’re saying,

Chorus:
G     D             A
I-I-I-I, Im sinking in
              Bm                                    G
You know that somethings got to,
                  G  D
Somethings gotta give

And then you showed yourself
all the colors that you fear
It doesn't mean a thing, you got love
So you got everything
Talk all night, stay awake
Listening to records that we like

Chorus

           D
Its gotta give

G
Oh, oh, oh
D
Oh, oh, oh
G
Oh, oh, oh
D
Oh, oh, oh
