Now [Bbm]when you climb [Gdim7] into your [F7]bed tonight

And [Bbm]sympathy [Gdim7] is what we [F7]need
And [Ebm]sympathy [F7] is what we [Bbm]need [Bbm7/Ab]my [GbM7]friend
'Cause there's [Ebm7]not enough [Fm7]love to go [Bbm]'round [Fm]
No, there's [Ebm7]not enough [Fm7]love to go [Bbm]'round [F5]
