[Verse 1]
C                           G7
Love is no excuse, for what we're doing
                                        C
For we both know, that two hearts could break
                                          G7
We tell ourselves, we've got to have each other
                                 C     C7
But love is no excuse, for us to make

[Verse 2]
F                           C
Sure we love each other and it could be so right
G7                               C        C7
But not if someone else, has got to pay
F                        C
Our love for each other, looks good in the night
        D7                              G7
But our love can never see the light of day

[Chorus]
C                                G7
It's been going on, for much too long now
                                C
And our wrongs have mounted one by one
                                      G7
We tell ourselves it's 'cause we love each other
                                      C     C7
But love is no excuse, for what we've done

[Break]

[Chorus]
C                                G7
It's been going on, for much too long now
                                C
And our wrongs have mounted one by one
                                           G7
We tell ourselves it's 'cause we love each other
                                      C
But love is no excuse, for what we've done
