[Intro]

  (see tab section: *)
 
[Verse 1]
Am                                 Dm
 What have I got to do to make you love me
G                                 |C      Bm     E      |
 What have I got to do to make you care  (see tab section: **)
Am                           Dm
 What do I do when lightning strikes me
G                                  |C      Bm     E      |
 And I wake to find that you're not there  (see tab section: **)
 
[Verse 2]
Am                        Dm
 What do I do to make you want me
G                           |C      Bm     E      |
 What have I got to do to be heard  (see tab section: **)
Am                           Dm
 What do I say when it's all over
    G                           | C     G    |
And sorry seems to be the hardest word  (see tab section: ***)
 
[Chorus]
F         E
 It's sad,  so sad
Am                D
  It's a sad, sad situation
F                E             | Am     Bm     E      |
And it's getting more and more absurd  (see tab section: **)
F        E
 It's sad,  so sad
Am            D
 Why can't we talk it over
F
Oh it seems to me
F      Dm             E              Am
  That sorry seems to be the hardest word
 
[Solo]
| Am     | Dm | G      | C  Bm    E      |
                           (see tab section: **)
| Am     | Dm | G      | C  G    |
                       (see tab section: ***)
[Chorus]
F         E
 It's sad,  so sad
Am                D
  It's a sad, sad situation
F                 E             | Am     Bm     E      |
 And it's getting more and more absurd  (see tab section: **)
F        E
It's sad,  so sad
Am            D
 Why can't we talk it over
F
Oh it seems to me
F      Dm             E              Am
  That sorry seems to be the hardest word
 
[Verse 3]
Am                        Dm
 What do I do to make you love me
G                          |C      Bm     E      |
 What have I got to do to be heard  (see tab section: **)
Am                           Dm
 What do I do when lightning strikes me
Bm                E
What have I got to do
Am                 Dm
What have I got to do
     Bm            E
When sorry seems to be
           [ Am  ]
The hardest word
