C
You were on your own I was on the road
Am C
You were awful lonesome I was awful cold
Am F
You wanted love songs but that's not enough
C G F
So how long must we punish each other
C G C
For the sin of falling in love
C
You were on the phone I was on the floor
Am C
And the boy was staring out the kitchen door
Am F
He hears our fighting and he takes it rough
C G F
So how long must we punish each other
C G C
For the sin of falling in love

C F
Well there's a whole lot worse that a man can do
C
There's greater crimes for women too
F G C
Than to give the holy power of love a place to stand
F
Now we’re looking back through a sack of wool
C
There's a boy with a stack of reasons to know
F G
Why we can’t forgive each other a Woman and Man
C
You were in the air I was in the sea
Am C
Boy was in a basket with friends on the beach
Am F
It don't take much asking to receive that stuff
C G F
So how long must we punish each other
C G C
For the sin of falling in love
Am F
Whoa how long must we punish each other
C G C
For the sin of falling in love
