Eb                       Cm              Eb
Love and learn about the birds and bees, and

the flowers of the mystery.

That rocky road is pretty hard to take, but you don't 
                 Cm
know nothing til your heart breaks.

[Chorus]
Ab                          Fm      Eb
Love is a game til lies get spoken, but the game 
                     Ab         Eb
gets rough when your heart gets broken.
Fm                         Ab  Fm
You stay at home a-sittin' all alone, waitin' for the 
F        Bb
doorbell or the telephone.
