in a sitch like this you gotta think and i don't think you 
think about the way he thinks
G                       G      
and i know you live life for yourself
G                        G                       
but it all comes down to the way you help
Am
and i know your life is such a hell
you wake up early and you work until
G                       G        
you have your drinks at 5 o'clock
G                         G      
the hours blend and your thoughts all haunt 
     F            G        
your hopes, your dreams
     Am
your everything
              F
well, mama, i hope
   G                   Am
i dream that you won't leave

( mute all the strings and just strumm to the pattern )
and i have a question....

C
what is love?
what is love?
          G

      E7     Am

                  A7  Dm
'cause that's not how you
G      G       Am

     Am
in a sitch like this you gotta think 
and i don't think you think about the way she thinks
G                        G      
and i know you work hard everyday
G                            G      
but it all comes down to the way you're paid
      Am
and i know you're oh so sorry dad
i truly believe that you're a better man
        G                       G      
than to share one kiss and then walk away
        G                   G      
from the love you come home everyday
     F           G            Am
your hopes, your dreams, your everything
              F       G      
well daddy, i hope, i dream
               Am
that she won't leave
