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
