  			Verse 
    C                    F              G 
He stumbled through the alley with his long coat on 
  F            G              C 
Nothing but a bottle in his hand 
    C            F          G 
She sat in her apartment lonesome to the bone 
      F            G               G 
Wondering what had happened to her man 

 
C      F     C     G 
Love, love, love, love 
   F    G         C 
Nobody ever understands 
 C       F      C    G 
All the things that go 
   F       G         C 
Between a woman and a man 

Verse 
      C                     F            G 
When they'd walk down the sidewalk the street would shine 
         F               G               C 
With the kind of love no human heart can fake 
          C               F              G 
And they vowed to stay together till the end of time 
          F                    G                   C 
Like the couple that stands on top of the wedding cake 


C     F     C      G 
Love, love, love, love 
F       G         C 
Nobody ever understands 
 C      F       C     G 
All the things that go 
 F         G          C 
Between a woman and a man 
   C         F         G 
If I should live to a ripe old age 
     F          G           C 
The only lesson I may ever learn 
       C             F           G 
Is to not stand so close to the flame of love 
   F            G             C 
Unless you are willing to get burned 

C      F     C     G 
Love, love, love, love 
  F     G        C 
Nobody ever understands 
 C       F      C   G 
All the things that go 
  F        G          C 
Between a woman and a man 

Post-Chorus 
  C     F       C   G 
All the things that go 
  F        G          C 
Between a woman and a man
