Work This Thing Out

-->

Vs1

Remember when each day we’d spend

Enjoying each other

Sharin’ our hopes and our dreams

But we lost our way and there came a day

We sadly discovered

The heartache that love’s absence can bring

1^st Refrain

All this cussin’, and fussin’ and heavy discussin’

Can’t be what love’s all about

Let’s do some touchin’ and sharin’ and a whole lotta carin’

And see if we can’t work this thing out

Vs2 (key change—slight step up)

What happened to the joy we knew

When we were first lovers

Tell me how did we reach this lonely place

Where all we share is a quiet despair

Strangers to each other

An ending that I just can’t face

2^nd Refrain

So let’s start over, get back to, takin’ care of each other

Rediscover what love’s all about

Let’s do some touchin’ and sharin’ and a whole lotta carin’

And see if we can’t work this thing out

Bridge

Last night we sat down and shared

Broke it down and stripped it bare

Gave me the hope that now

We can still work this thing out

Last refrain (key change—melody higher)

So let’s start over, get back to, takin’ care of each other

Rediscover what love’s all about

Let’s do some touchin’ and sharin’ and a whole lotta carin’

And see if we can’t work this thing out

I still love you, let’s work this thing out

I really love you, let’s work this thing out (spoken)
