VERSE 1
B5add7 Bmaj7
Let's make a deal
Bmaj7sus
Write some pretty words on paper
Bmaj7sus2
Sign and try to make 'em real
B5add7 Bmaj7
It's not head over heels
Bmaj7sus
But after thirty, maybe crazy's
Bmaj7sus2
Not the way love's s'posed to feel
Bmaj7sus2 Cmaj7sus2 G#m
That's my sanity defence
F#
Some lower courts denied the plea
E
But would you see the appeal?
Emadd9
VERSE 2
Let's make a deal
Giving an "I" for an "I"
Self for self, the ideal
As our interest compounds
Who ever said absence makes fonder
Should've tried sticking around
Rather be sharks in a tank
Than just fish in the sea
While years slip by like eels
BRIDGE
G#m F#
Let's both invest in this business of love
E B
In the good times and bad, its booms and its busts
G#m F#
In the bulls and the bears of the birds and the bees
A7 E
Out there bringing their best
G#m F#
Let's both invest til one leaves in a hearse
E B
For richer, for poorer, for better, for worse
G#m F#
In the bulls and the bears of the birds and the bees
E
Whether sickened or healed

VERSE 3
Let's make a deal
I'll get him bathed and put to bed
You clean up here after the meal
Then we'll watch some TV
No matter action or adventure,
Halfway through you'll be asleep
These days it passes for a date
We'll always have each other's faith
and we can work on the zeal
That was the deal
