Gm                                  Cm7 
What have I got to do to make you love me 
F                                      Bb Cm  D7 
What have I got to do to make you care 
Gm                                  Cm 
What do I do when lightning strikes me 
F                                       Bb Cm  D7 
And a wake to find that you're not there 
Gm                            Cm 
What do I do to make you want me 
F                                Bb Cm  D7 
What have I got to do to be heard 
Gm                                Cm 
What do I say when it's all over 
    F                             Bb  F 
And sorry seems to be the hardest word 
Cm           D7       Gm                  C 
It's sad, so sad, it's a sad, sad situation 
D#                     D7             Gm Cm  D7 
And it's getting more and more absurd 
Cm            D7        Gm                C 
It's sad, so sad,  why can't we talk it over  
D#                       Cm             D7              Gm 
    Oh it seems to me, sorry seems to be the hardest word

Gm                                  Cm           D# 
What do I do when lightning strikes me  
Cm                D7       Gm           D# 
What have I got to do,  what have I got to do

When sorry seems to be the hardest word
