Keep on

You
[G] cause a commotion when you come to town

[D] don't love you and you don't love
[G] me
BRIDGE:
[C] I got a problem,
[G/B] can you relate?
[Am7] I got a woman
[G] calling love hate
[C] We made a vow we'd
[G/B] always be friends
[Am7] How could we know that promises
[G] end?
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 4:
[G] I tried to love you for years upon years
You re-

It's
[G] time you saw what I want you to see
And I would

[G] me
