The poets say that all who love are blind 
    Em      B5+         Em7       A7      D   Cdim  A7 
But I'm in love, and I know what time it is 
     D         G7        D       G7        D    D7M   B7 
The good book says, 'Go seek and ye shall find' 
      Em      B5+         Em7        A7            C7   B7  Em7  A7 
Well, I have sought, and my, what a climb it is 
    Am7              D7          G7M              Am 
My life is like the weather, it changes with the hours

When he's near, I'm fair and warmer  
E7                   Bb7         A7 
When he's gone, I'm cloudy with showers 
D    G7      D       G7          D       G7     D     G7 
In emotion, like the ocean, it's either sink or swim 
        A7           Em  F#7    Bm5-/7 E7/13  Em7   A7 
When a woman loves a man    like  I   love him

Nev - er treats me sweet and gentle   the way he should  
   A7 Em7 G  B9   E7   A7    D    Bm7 Em7 A7/9- 
I got it bad and that ain't good 
Edim  D    G    D   F#7   Bm7 E7    Bm5-/7     E9   E   E7  Em7 
My  poor heart is sentimental,   not made of wood

But when the weekend's over    and Monday rolls around 
   D      D7M    F#m   B7  Cdim  Em   B5+    Fdim  A7 
I end up like I start out, just cryin'  my heart out 
Edim  D    G   D   F#7    Bm7      E7    Bm5-/7    E9 E E7 Em7 
He  don't love me like I love him;    nobody could  
      A7 Em7 G  B9   E7   A7    D    D7M E9 
I've got it bad and that ain't good 
G    A7 Em7 G  B9   E7   A7    D   F#m Bm7 Gm7 D 
I got it bad and that ain't good
