Don't have the intro for no capo just yet but I will add it in if there are enough
requests for it.

And I can't believe this song doesn't have any chords posted for it or any
extensive, more detailed listing!

Please leave any comments/ratings/corrections/suggestions.

The fill can go after every bar (cycle) of F, G, Em, F. Just tried it and it sounds pretty cool!

[After listening to the song a little more carefully, sounds like you could almost
play the intro throughout the whole song and it would still sound right. Test it
out!]

[Verse 1]:

F G
You understand me at least you say you do
Em F
Lately that's enough for me
F G
Looking for perfect surrounded by artificial
Em F
You're the closest thing to real I see
F G
Sure everyone has their problems, that's a given
Em F
Yours are the easiest to tolerate
F G
This wasn't what we we was wanting, how we're living
Em F
But let's take this good enough and turn it to great, baby understand

[Chorus]:

F G
This can only be as good as we both make it
Em F
Yes, sometimes it's gonna hurt
(F)
(Yes, sometimes it's gonna hurt)
F G
We can be as happy as we want to be, girl
Em F
But we gotta make it work

F G
We gotta make it work, ay oh ay oh oh x2
Em F
We gotta make it work, ay oh ay oh oh

[Verse 2]:

F G
Sometimes I love you more than you'll ever know
Em F
Other times you get on my nerves
F G
Hey, that's just reality, no, it can't always be
Em F
Kisses, hugs and beautiful words
F G
You was looking for your prince, what you found
Em F
Is a pauper with potential
F G
And no, I'm nowhere near perfect but I'm around
Em F
Girl, time and patience is essential, baby realize


[Repeat Chorus]


F G
Thick and thin
Em F
The bad outweighs the good sometimes
F G
That doesn't mean we're supposed to give it up
Em F
My problems are yours and yours are mine


[Repeat Chorus]
