Keep on

'Cause I

VERSE 2:
You
[C] cause a commotion when you come to town

[G] don't love you and you don't love
[C] me
BRIDGE:
[F] I got a problem,
[C/E] can you relate?
[Dm7] I got a woman
[C] calling love hate
[F] We made a vow we'd
[C/E] always be friends
[Dm7] How could we know that promises
[C] end?
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 4:
[C] I tried to love you for years upon years
You re-

It's
[C] time you saw what I want you to see
And I would
[G] still love you, if you would just love
[C] me
