Eb Ab
If someone told you there is no elegant way out of this, then what ?
Eb Ab
And if you're keeping this heart from coming completely apart, then what ?
Bb Ab
And if the rich are begging for more on the doorsteps of the poor, then what ?
Eb
Then what is it I've got ?

Eb Ab
If someone told you there is no elegant way out of this, then what ?
Eb Ab
Girl, and if you're the last thing that's keeping this heart from coming completely apart, then what ?
Bb Ab
And if in the warmth and rhythm of your skin I lost everything I could win, then what ?
Eb
Then what is it I've got ?
/ Chorus, both guitars play the intro twice /
Eb
I used to think that I, I used to think I had it all,
Ab
But that was long before I knew what a girl like you could do
Eb
I used to think that I, I used to think I had it all,
Ab
But that was long before I knew what girl like you could do

Ab C Bb
And if the eyes that draw you in
Ab C Bb
Don't reveal anything
Ab C Bb
And if the soul that lay thin
Ab C Bb
Upon the sweat on your skin
Ab C Bb Ab C Bb
Retreated deep into your body again
Ab~
Well, what is it then, what is it then, what is it then ?
Then what is it I've got ?
